Metal Roofing Repair

Fell thru my metal roof today Need to know how to sheet metal the hole left by my falling thru the roof. I will repair it myself but I don't want any water getting under the sheet metal repair job. thanks

Metal roofs are normally pretty strong. Are the rafters in good shape? If not, you will continue to have problems. If the metal roof is on your main house you should call a roofer. Unless some of our responders on this site are multi-professionals (metal finishing and roofing), I think you should spend a few bucks and have the job done right by hiring a roofer.
