I was thinking of putting a sola tube or skylight in a walk in closet and a bathroom. One contractor told me there is a higher possibility of leak with metal roof than a shingle . So should I give up the idea all together .

He would be both incorrect and correct. Correct in that if you give a non-metal mechanic something like that to install...it will leak. Incorrect in that metal is not more likely to leak than asphalt by any means. Metal, when done correctly, will last forever without leaks. Eric Novotny
