    Hey guys, I had this metal roof replaced about 5 years ago and I have a leak from this skylight. I went up to take a look, and am curious if this is installed correctly. The material is very brittle and is cracked where the screws were installed and that's where it is leaking from.

    Hey guys, I have a large metal storage building (36x64) and had the metal roofing replaced last year.
