I am interested in having a standing seam metal roof installed on our contemporary home in southern NY. I have 5 skylights. I've been told its not done, can't be done...but I continue to see metal roofing and skylights on home in some websites. What do you think..is there a problem with it?

Was there ever an answer given as to whether you could have skylights and metal roofing. We are getting ready to build a log home in Oklahoma and have two skylights planned.

As long as a quality skylight is being used and it is one that is on a curb rather than flush to the roof, it can be flashed into virtually any metal roof. Look for a qualified and experienced metal roofing installer and feel free to consult with the metal roofing manufacturer if necessary. Todd Miller

Metal roofing is installed on roofs with skylights on a regular basis. Two skylight manufatures make flashing kits to be used for metal only "Velux" and "Roto". Velux has a video "how to install" they will send you.
