Project Description
A homeowner in Clarksville, Maryland contacted A1 Roofing’s KangaRoof after water began entering the home around the perimeter of an existing skylight during wind-driven rain. Because the problem was concentrated around the skylight, the project called for a targeted roof repair rather than work across the entire roofing system.
Completed on August 25, 2026, this residential project involved removing the old shingles and underlayment around the skylight, installing a new ice-and-water barrier, and restoring the repaired area with architectural asphalt shingles.
Project Overview
- Location: Clarksville, MD 21029
- Property type: Residential single-family home
- Service performed: Skylight roof leak repair
- Materials used: Ice-and-water barrier and architectural asphalt shingles
- Repair area: Roofing materials around the skylight perimeter
The Problem: Water Leaking Around the Skylight
The homeowner noticed that water would leak into the house around the skylight whenever the property experienced blowing and driving rain.
The issue was limited to the roof area surrounding the skylight. The existing roofing materials in this section were no longer providing the protection needed to prevent water intrusion during rain combined with strong wind.
Rather than replacing the skylight or disturbing unaffected sections of the roof, the repair focused on rebuilding the protective roofing layers around the skylight perimeter.
How A1 Roofing’s KangaRoof Repaired the Skylight Leak
The A1 Roofing’s KangaRoof crew began by carefully removing the existing architectural shingles from around the skylight. This provided access to the older underlayment beneath the shingles and allowed the team to work directly on the affected perimeter.
The old underlayment was removed from around the skylight, and the area was prepared for a new protective layer. A new ice-and-water barrier was then installed to improve water protection beneath the finished roofing materials.
After the barrier was in place, the crew installed new architectural asphalt shingles around the skylight. The new shingles closed the repair area and restored the finished roof surface while keeping the existing skylight in place.
The completed scope included:
- Removing the old shingles around the skylight.
- Removing the old underlayment in the repair area.
- Installing a new ice-and-water barrier.
- Installing new architectural asphalt shingles around the skylight perimeter.
- Closing and restoring the repaired section of the roof.
The Completed Result
The targeted repair replaced the older roofing materials around the skylight with a new water-protection layer and architectural shingles.
By rebuilding the roofing assembly around the skylight perimeter, A1 Roofing’s KangaRoof resolved the water intrusion described by the homeowner while keeping the repair limited to the affected section of the roof.
The project photographs document the original condition, removal of the surrounding shingles, preparation of the repair area, and the completed shingle installation.
