My inspector looked at the roof (2 story farm house) from the ground, and had me look inside the attic because the attic access is tiny (I barely fit at the time) and the inspector, umm, wasn't tiny. | |

Skylights are notorious for leaking when not installed properly, plus the added "fun" of working with steel roofing. The good news is that unlike shingles, I'm betting that the steel can simply be unscrewed, then after replacement/repair of the skylight, most if not all can be screwed right back down without any new material being needed. | |
