My recommendation, don't get one. They are prone to leaks. The strong sun and heat in the summer, and then the cold winters, the repeated heating and cooling, plus UV radiation, the adhesive and weatherproofing will degrade within a few years. Unlike other regions of the world, where they have a fairly even temperature, ours makes it difficult to effectively seal the seams in the long-run, requiring repairs by year three.

I agree my last house had three skylights and I was always getting them resealed .
