Coquitlam Skylight Specialists
Coquitlam is a city of very different residential environments. Established communities such as Maillardville, Austin Heights and Burquitlam sit alongside major growth areas including City Centre and Burke Mountain, while neighbourhood planning also covers areas such as Hyde Creek, Partington Creek, Smiling Creek and Waterfront Village Centre. (Coquitlam Neighbourhood Plans)
The city’s physical setting varies just as much. Coquitlam’s current Official Community Plan identifies steep slopes, floodplains and watercourse-related areas, while the City also manages an extensive network of creeks and streams throughout the municipality. (Coquitlam Official Community Plan) (Coquitlam Drainage)
For this reason, Coquitlam skylight installation requires a property-specific approach. Roof structure, ceiling configuration, flashing, waterproofing, drainage 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, skylight leak repair, sun tunnels, roof windows, structural framing and interior finishing.
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 Coquitlam
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 Coquitlam.
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 skylight 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. Our skylight leak repair service focuses on identifying the actual source before recommending the appropriate solution.
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® describes SUN TUNNEL® skylights as a way to bring daylight into areas where traditional windows or skylights may not be practical. (VELUX® SUN TUNNEL® Skylights)
5.Roof Windows
For attics, lofts and upper-level spaces where fresh air and natural light are both important, VELUX® roof windows provide daylight and ventilation.
6.Carpentry & Interior Finishing
Our work doesn’t stop at the roof. Our carpentry and interior finishing services include framing, shaft construction, insulation, drywall, trim and finishing work to create a seamless final appearance.
Coquitlam Skylight Installation Services
A successful skylight installation starts long before the skylight is placed into the roof.
Coquitlam’s current planning framework reflects a city undergoing substantial growth in City Centre, Burquitlam and Lougheed, Burke Mountain, Austin Heights and Maillardville. At the same time, different areas of the city have different landforms, neighbourhood patterns and development conditions. (Coquitlam — How Development Happens)
As a result, the right skylight solution can vary significantly from one Coquitlam 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.
From there, the completed skylight becomes part of a properly integrated roof and interior system rather than an isolated opening in the roof.
Coquitlam 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 helps determine whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate solution.
Signs that your Coquitlam 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.
Coquitlam’s drainage system includes more than 300 kilometres of creeks and streams, and the City specifically addresses flood protection, stormwater management and properties near steep slopes. (Coquitlam Drainage)
Our focus is therefore not simply fixing the visible symptom. We look at the skylight, flashing, roof integration and surrounding area to understand where the problem originates.

Skylights for Coquitlam Kitchens, Living Spaces & More
The right daylighting solution depends on the room, roof structure, ceiling configuration and how you use the space. In Coquitlam, that can mean different solutions for an established home in Maillardville or Austin Heights compared with a newer upper-level property around City Centre, Burquitlam or Burke Mountain. (Coquitlam Neighbourhood Plans)
Kitchen Skylights
The right daylighting solution depends on the room, roof structure, ceiling configuration and how you use the space.

(Coquitlam Neighbourhood Plans)
Living Room Skylights
A strategically positioned skylight can bring more daylight into Coquitlam living areas while enhancing the sense of openness within the room.
Bathroom Skylights
Venting skylights can combine natural daylight with fresh-air capabilities, making them a practical option for bathrooms and other rooms where ventilation matters.
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 tube 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.
Attic & Loft Roof Windows
Roof windows are suited to upper-level spaces where daylight, ventilation and easy operation are important. VELUX® roof windows are designed for applications where natural light, views and ventilation are important considerations. (VELUX® Roof Windows)
