Antique skylight repair- know anyone?

Hi, I have a small skylight on the back roof of my house in Brooklyn. It has that old-fashioned chicken wire glass and looks to be that kind of plated zinc material. It’s beautiful and looks great, but is also leaking and needs a good do-over. I’d ideally like to find someone who is familiar with fixing older objects and generally getting them back on their feet. Does anyone know a roofer or a contractor who does this kind of work, without telling me I need to junk the whole thing? Or at least can they give me a detailed diagnostic before preemptively telling me I need to junk the whole thing? See sample picture. It’s smaller, but the same type. Thanks!

VinRoy of Park Slope Brownstone did one for me. Try him but he’s very busy. 646 554 4513
