Skylight interior finishing

7 years ago

We just had roofers out to replace our roof, and they also replaced the skylights. The frame of the old skylight overhang the drywall by about an inch and was sealed to it with a bead of caulk. As you can see from the pictures, the new skylight's frame isn't wide enough to cover the edge of the drywall and there is a substantial gap between the drywall and the glass leaving the bare frame exposed. My contractor has insisted that this is normal, but to me it seems like this is going to be a horrendous moisture trap and lead to mold, especially given that one of the skylights is above a bathroom. Is this typical for new skylights? If it is, what can I do to finish the edge so that it doesn't looks so awful?
