Snowflake asked:

Have two rectangular shaped skylights…my husband and I have already installed metal roofing on part of our house, now moving on to the part that has the skylights. Want to be sure to do it correctly so we won’t have leaks. Should we just cut the metal holes out and silicone around the edges or is there more to it than that? Please advise.

      The like will probably not have what you need to use flashing is really the only proper way to.

      The top of installed from the overlap at the flashing must be secured underbehind the seams face downwards the best caulking you can afford.
