The homeowner originally had a traditional cedar shake roof and wanted to maintain the classic look that matched the character of the home. In 2018, another company replaced the cedar with a composite alternative, but the installation was poorly executed. Over time, the homeowner began experiencing workmanship failures and problems with the roofing system, which led them to seek a more reliable solution.

Beyond the roof issues, the previous installation had also caused damage to the homeowner’s landscaping, which was a major concern given the property’s beautifully maintained gardens and hedges. Wanting the job done properly this time, the homeowner contacted Aucoin Roofing for a full inspection and a long-term solution they could trust.

Aucoin Roofing was involved from design through installation, helping create a skylight plan that would deliver both functionality and stunning natural light throughout the home.

The finished design includes 10 Velux skylights installed throughout the property, featuring a mix of skylight styles to suit different areas of the home. In the ensuite shower, a solar-powered venting skylight was installed to improve ventilation while bringing natural daylight into the space.

The covered porch was designed with additional skylights to maintain brightness even in shaded outdoor areas. Inside the home, the soaring great room ceilings feature multiple skylight combination banks, along with solar-powered venting skylights and solar-powered blinds, creating a bright and comfortable living space while maintaining energy efficiency and control over sunlight.

The completed home is a true showcase of Velux skylight products and Aucoin Roofing’s design and installation expertise.

Natural light now fills the interior spaces throughout the day, highlighting the home’s architecture and creating an open, airy atmosphere. The combination of advanced skylight technology, thoughtful placement, and precise installation ensures both beauty and long-term performance.

With its complex rooflines, walkout balcony, and dramatic skylight layout, this home stands as a standout example of how thoughtful roofing design can transform a space.
