Skylights for LaSalle homes

LaSalle grew quickly from the 1990s onward, and many of its subdivision homes are now reaching the end of their original roofs at about the same time. Many LaSalle homes built in the 1990s have skylights or sun tunnels over kitchens, bathrooms and stairwells. Those units are now reaching the same age as the original roofs, which makes a roof replacement the ideal time to swap them.

What's included

Skylight replacement, new installations and re-flashing to stop leaks around existing skylights. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

Skylight replacement
New skylights
Sun tunnels
Leak repair
Removal
During a roof replacement.
When the seal fails.
After repeated leaks.
When upgrading a room.

Full details, how the work runs and common questions are on our main skylights page.

Local conditions in LaSalle

Many LaSalle homes already have aluminum soffit, fascia and eavestroughs, but multi-level roofs often send too much water to one corner. Re-planning downspouts and upsizing a single run is often all it takes to stop overflow.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for skylights in LaSalle, get clear answers to these before signing:

Will you use the manufacturer's flashing kit for my roofing type?
Is the problem a leak or condensation?
Does a new opening need a permit?
Who will finish the interior light shaft?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in LaSalle are issued through the Town of LaSalle's building department. Like-for-like reroofing usually doesn't require a permit, while structural work, new openings for skylights and additions do. Some subdivisions also have covenants on exterior materials and colours, so check those before choosing.
