Warranty Guarantee

Warranty Coverage on Labour / Installation
Just Skylights offers a comprehensive warranty on the installation of your skylight. This warranty covers defects in workmanship and the proper installation of the skylight as outlined in the installation agreement.

Warranty Duration
The warranty period for installation is 10 years from the date of installation, provided the skylight remains in its original location and is used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

What is Covered

  • Defects in installation, including leaks, poor sealing, or any other issues arising from the work performed by Just Skylights.
  • Malfunctions caused by improper installation affecting the functionality of the skylight.

What is Not Covered

  • Damage caused by misuse, accidents, or external forces such as storms, hail, or other weather-related events.
  • Issues arising from the skylight itself, including manufacturer defects, unless the product is still covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see Manufacturer’s Warranty).
  • Normal wear and tear.
  • Modifications, repairs, or tampering done by parties other than Just Skylights or its authorized agents.

Weather Events and Ice Dams
This warranty does not cover damage caused by weather-related events, including, but not limited to:

  • Storms, hail, high winds, or freezing temperatures.
  • Ice dams (accumulation of melting and re-freezing snow causing leaks).

Note: It is the homeowner’s responsibility to take measures to prevent ice dams, such as ensuring proper attic insulation, ventilation, and regular roof maintenance.

Condensation
Condensation is a natural occurrence that can form on skylights due to temperature fluctuations and humidity levels inside the home. It is not covered under this warranty.

This includes:

  • Internal humidity levels exceeding recommended home levels.
  • Inadequate ventilation in the attic or skylight installation area.
  • Improper use of humidifiers or other moisture-producing activities.
  • Failure to maintain appropriate insulation and airflow.

Tip: Homeowners should manage humidity and ventilation to prevent condensation-related issues.

Manufacturer’s Warranty
The skylight itself is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty documentation for coverage details regarding defects in materials and functionality.
