We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
