Shumaker Roofing handles skylight installation in Frederick, MD, along with skylight replacement, leak repair, and sun tunnels. We’re a veteran-owned roofing company that has worked on local roofs since 1946, and VELUX lists us as a Certified Installer.
A skylight is an opening in your roof, so the roofing work around it matters as much as the skylight itself. Because we’re roofers first, we take care of the opening, the flashing, and the seal so water stays out.
We’ll look at your roof and the room, explain your options, and give you a free estimate.
Residential Skylight Installation
A skylight brings daylight into rooms that windows can’t reach, like hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms under a sloped ceiling. If you’re thinking about skylights for your Frederick home, we’ll help you pick the right type and size for the room. You can see the VELUX skylights we install further down this page.
Skylights are either curb-mounted or deck-mounted, depending on your roof. We’ll tell you which one fits your home and why.
Skylight Replacement
Skylights wear out over time. The seals break down, the glass fogs up, and the flashing around them gets old. Signs it may be time for a skylight replacement:
- Fog or moisture between the glass panes
- Cracked, scratched, or yellowed glass
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls around the skylight
- Drafts, or a lot of heat coming through in summer
- A venting skylight that won’t open or close
Replacing a skylight means new flashing too, so it’s done as one job. If you’re also planning a new roof, it’s best to replace the skylight at the same time.
