Bring the sky into any room

A well-placed skylight is the single fastest way to transform a dark, closed-in room into a bright, open one. At Brant Skylights we design, supply and install skylights for homes across Brantford, Ancaster and the surrounding area — kitchens, living rooms, primary bathrooms, stairwells, home offices and additions. Whether you are renovating an existing space or building new, the right skylight delivers hours of free, natural daylight and a connection to the sky overhead that electric lighting simply can’t replace.

Every install is built around two things that matter most with a hole in your roof: light and water. We position each skylight for the best daylight through the day, then flash and seal it so the roof stays completely watertight for the long haul. Clean interior finishing means the finished skylight looks like it was always part of the house.

Types of skylights we install

We install and replace all major skylight brands and sizes, and we’re happy to recommend the right glass, finish and operation for your room, roof pitch and budget.

Why homeowners add skylights

More daylight, less running costs

Twice the daylight

An overhead skylight delivers far more usable daylight than a wall window of the same size, and reaches deeper into the room.

Lower lighting bills

Rooms stay lit by the sun through the day, and vented units help with passive cooling in summer.

Adds home value

Bright, airy interiors photograph beautifully and stand out to buyers across the Brantford market.

Watertight, warrantable

Correct flashing kits and sealing are the heart of the job — done so the roof stays dry for decades.

Fast installation

Most residential skylights are installed and finished within a single day, with minimal disruption.

Better wellbeing

Natural light lifts mood and helps regulate sleep — a real difference in north-facing and interior rooms.

Common questions

Skylight installation FAQs

How much does a skylight cost to install in Brantford?
Cost depends on the type of skylight (fixed, vented or solar), the size, your roof and ceiling construction, and any drywall or finishing needed. Fixed skylights are the most budget-friendly; solar-powered opening units sit at the higher end. We provide a free, written quote so you know the full price before any work begins.
Will a skylight leak?
A skylight only leaks when it’s installed or flashed incorrectly. We use the manufacturer’s flashing kit matched to your roof type and seal everything properly, so a correctly installed modern skylight stays watertight for the life of the unit.
How long does installation take?
Most residential skylight installations are completed in a single day, including the interior light shaft and finishing. Larger projects or multiple units may take longer, and we’ll tell you the timeline up front.
Fixed or vented — which should I choose?
If you mainly want daylight, a fixed skylight is the most cost-effective. Over a kitchen or bathroom where you want to release heat, steam and odours, a vented or solar-powered opening skylight is well worth it. We’ll recommend the best fit for each room.
Can you replace my old skylight?
Yes. We replace dated acrylic-dome and fogged skylights with modern energy-efficient glass units, and we can re-flash older installs that were never sealed correctly.
