On a real claim
A skylight is a window set into the roof, and the flashing around it is a common missed line item. On a claim skylights are a leak point and are handled as their own removal, replacement, or flashing item. What goes wrong: a re-roof reuses old, cracked skylight flashing and the unit leaks, or a damaged skylight is left off the scope. Check the flashing, the sealant, and the unit condition before you cover the opening.
