Skylights in Tecumseh

Skylights for Tecumseh homes

Tecumseh combines established neighbourhoods near the Lake St. Clair shoreline with newer subdivisions and rural properties to the south. On Tecumseh homes with skylights facing the prevailing wind, wind-driven rain can find its way under worn flashing. A proper manufacturer flashing kit with underlayment collars is what keeps those openings dry.

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 Tecumseh

Tecumseh's mature trees keep eavestroughs busy every season, and squirrels and raccoons regularly test soffits and roof edges. Gutter guards, solid fascia and properly closed soffit corners make the biggest difference here.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for skylights in Tecumseh, 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 Tecumseh are issued by the Town of Tecumseh's building department. Replacing a roof with similar materials usually doesn't require a permit, but structural changes, new roof framing and new skylight openings typically do. We confirm requirements for your property before work starts.
