Skylights and Sun Tunnels in Vancouver Renovations

Natural light is at a premium in Vancouver’s overcast winters. Skylights and sun tunnels are popular renovations for bringing daylight into dark kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms.

Cost Comparison

Type Cost Range
Sun tunnel (rigid, 10″) $1,200–$2,500
Sun tunnel (flexible, 14″) $1,500–$3,200
Fixed skylight (22″x46″) $2,500–$5,500
Venting skylight (operable) $3,500–$7,500
Large skylight (custom) $6,000–$20,000+

Permit Requirement

Skylight installation in BC requires a building permit as it involves roof penetration and structural modification. Sun tunnels in most cities are permit-exempt under minor work provisions — verify with your municipality.
