Skylights in Maryland
Skylights leak for one reason nine times out of ten: the flashing and curb detail around them. The unit itself is rarely the culprit.
Skylights work in Maryland, in practice
Maryland roofs take a specific kind of beating. In this region, ice dams at the eaves are the classic failure mode — meltwater backs up under the shingles and shows up as a ceiling stain two rooms away. That shapes what we find on inspection more than anything else: damage concentrated at the details — flashings, penetrations, valleys, ridges and the perimeter — rather than evenly across the field of the roof.
nor’easters bring sideways rain that drives into flashing joints and dormer walls On top of that, dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter work nails loose, open seams and crack old flashing
summer heat is milder, but UV still dries out and curls 3-tab shingles by the 18-year mark.
The housing stock matters too. Across Maryland, most stock was built either side of the middle of the last century, and a lot of it has had at least one re-roof already. Roofs on that stock tend to age in clusters, which is why a single storm event can produce years of concentrated roofing work in one neighbourhood and none two streets over.
Why skylights is not a one-size job here
A well-installed skylight brings light into a space that would otherwise need electricity during the day, and on the roof it is a penetration like any other — which is exactly how it should be detailed.
We install new units on properly built curbs with correct flashing, replace failed or fogged units, and repair leaks caused by curb rot, inadequate flashing, deteriorated sealant or condensation that was misdiagnosed as a leak.

What skylights costs in Maryland
A new fixed skylight installed with a properly built and flashed curb typically runs from about $1,500 to $4,500 depending on unit size, roof pitch and interior finishing. Replacement of a unit on an existing sound curb is usually cheaper, and leak repairs caused by flashing details generally fall in the repair price range.
Material guidance for this climate
The two details that matter more than shingle brand here are ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, and correct attic insulation and ventilation to stop ice dams forming in the first place. Architectural shingles outperform 3-tab on every metric.
