Water stains on the drywall around the skylight well
Drips only in heavy or wind-driven rain (usually the flashing)
Fog or moisture between the panes (failed seal)
Cracked or crazed glass or plastic dome
A skylight that's 20+ years old going under a new roof
Rot on the wood frame or curb
The unit is sound but water gets in around it. Common after a roof was re-shingled without a new flashing kit.
A cracked dome or a failed seal on some models.
Replace. when the unit is old, fogged or rotted, or when you're getting a new roof. Fitting a new skylight with its own flashing kit during a re-roof costs far less than coming back later. Remove and roof over. if you no longer want the skylight. We frame the hole, deck it and shingle it to match.

In most cases water gets in around the frame where the flashing has failed or wasn't replaced during the last re-roof. Less often the glass seal fails.
If they're more than about 15–20 years old, usually yes. The roof around them will last decades; an old skylight may not, and replacing it later means opening the new roof.
Yes. We frame and deck the opening and shingle over it so it matches.
Light drywall touch-up only, or refer you to a painter.
