Burnaby Skylight Specialists
Burnaby is a diverse city with very different residential environments across its neighbourhoods. From established homes around Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Willingdon Heights, South Slope and Buckingham Heights to newer and higher-density areas around Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds, the type of property and roof configuration can vary significantly from one part of the city to another.
Burnaby’s landscape also includes hills, ridges, valleys and flatter areas, with Burnaby Mountain rising substantially above the surrounding city. As a result, homes throughout Burnaby can present different roof structures, ceiling layouts, access conditions, and daylighting opportunities.
For this reason, Burnaby skylight installation requires more than simply creating an opening in the roof. The roof structure, flashing, waterproofing, drainage, insulation, and interior finishing all need to work together.
At In Awe Skylights, we manage the complete process from start to finish. We specialize in VELUX® skylight installation, skylight replacement, leak repair, sun tunnels, roof windows, structural framing, and interior finishing, giving Burnaby homeowners one experienced team for the entire project.
Our approach is simple: recommend the right solution for your space, install it correctly, protect the surrounding roof system, and leave you with a clean, professionally finished result.
Complete Skylight Services in Burnaby
Whether you’re looking to add daylight to a darker room, improve ventilation, replace an aging skylight, or resolve an existing leak, we provide complete skylight solutions throughout Burnaby.
1.New Skylight Installation
Add natural light to kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, stairwells, vaulted ceilings, and other areas of your home with a professionally planned VELUX® skylight installation.
2.Skylight Replacement
Older skylights can become damaged, cloudy, inefficient, or prone to leaks. We assess the existing unit and recommend a modern replacement when upgrading is the right solution.
3.Skylight Leak Repair
Water around a skylight can result from damaged flashing, failed seals, surrounding roofing issues, or problems with the original installation. We inspect the skylight and surrounding roof to identify the actual source.
4.Sun Tunnel Installation
A sun tunnel can bring natural daylight into smaller spaces where a traditional skylight may not be practical, including hallways, closets, bathrooms, stairwells and interior rooms.
VELUX® SUN TUNNEL® skylights use a reflective tube to carry daylight from the roof into the room below and are specifically designed for spaces where a conventional skylight may be difficult to use.
5.Roof Windows
For attics, lofts and upper-level spaces where fresh air and natural light are both important, VELUX® roof windows provide ventilation and daylight while offering practical operation.
6.Carpentry & Interior Finishing
Our work doesn’t stop at the roof. We also handle framing, shaft construction, insulation, drywall, trim and interior finishing to create a seamless final appearance.
Burnaby Skylight Installation Services
A successful skylight installation starts long before the skylight is placed into the roof.
Burnaby’s residential landscape includes both established small-scale neighbourhoods and rapidly developing urban centres. The City’s current planning framework identifies neighbourhoods containing single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses and other small-scale housing, while areas around Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds feature higher-density apartment and tower development.
Because of these differences, the ideal skylight solution can vary from one Burnaby property to another.
Once the right approach is established, our installation process can include:
1. Site Assessment
We evaluate the roof, attic space, ceiling layout and proposed skylight location.
2. Structural Framing
The opening is properly framed based on the existing structure.
3. Skylight Installation
The VELUX® skylight is professionally installed according to the appropriate installation requirements.
4. Flashing & Waterproofing
Proper flashing and waterproofing are critical to protecting your home from moisture intrusion.
5. Roof Integration
The surrounding roofing materials are carefully integrated around the new skylight.
6. Interior Finishing
We complete the interior shaft, insulation, drywall, trim and finishing work.
7. Final Inspection
We review the completed installation and make sure the area is clean, sealed and properly finished.
As a result, your skylight is treated as part of the complete roof and interior system rather than as an isolated addition.
Burnaby Skylight Replacement & Leak Repair
A leaking skylight shouldn’t automatically mean replacing the entire unit.
Sometimes the problem is caused by flashing, seals, surrounding roofing materials, drainage or another issue around the installation. However, a proper inspection can determine whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate solution.
Signs that your Burnaby skylight may need attention include:
- Water stains around the skylight
- Dripping or visible leaks
- Condensation or fogging between glass panes
- Drafts around the frame
- Cracked glazing
- Damaged or deteriorated flashing
- Bubbling or damaged ceiling finishes
- An aging skylight that no longer performs properly
For that reason, we inspect the skylight and surrounding area before recommending the next step, helping homeowners avoid unnecessary replacement costs while addressing problems properly.
When replacement is necessary, VELUX® offers fixed and fresh-air skylights, including manual, electric and solar-powered options, allowing the new unit to be matched to the home’s lighting and ventilation requirements.

Skylights for Burnaby Kitchens, Living Spaces & More
The right daylighting solution depends on the room, roof structure, ceiling configuration, and how you use the space. In Burnaby, those considerations can vary significantly between established residential neighbourhoods and newer homes around areas such as Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds.
Kitchen Skylights
Add overhead daylight to Burnaby kitchen renovations and residential spaces where conventional wall windows may not provide enough natural illumination. A properly positioned skylight can brighten work areas while creating a more open and welcoming atmosphere.
Living Room Skylights
A strategically positioned skylight can bring more daylight into Burnaby living areas while enhancing the sense of openness within the room. Skylights can be particularly effective in rooms with vaulted or sloped ceilings where additional overhead light can make a noticeable difference.
Bathroom Skylights
Venting skylights can combine natural daylight with fresh-air capabilities, making them a practical option for bathrooms.
Hallway Sun Tunnels
Interior hallways can be some of the darkest areas of a home. A VELUX® SUN TUNNEL® can direct daylight through a reflective tunnel into spaces where a conventional skylight may not be practical.
Stairwell Skylights
Skylights can bring daylight into stairwells and upper-level areas where conventional windows are limited by the home’s layout. As a result, a well-positioned skylight can help make transitional spaces feel brighter and more connected to the rest of the home.
Attic & Loft Roof Windows
Roof windows are suited to upper-level spaces where daylight, ventilation, and easy operation are important. For Burnaby homeowners with attic or loft areas, a roof window can provide both natural light and practical ventilation while complementing the existing roof structure.
