Default Recommendations for someone to do mold remediation?

Well all the rain lately, especially Isaias blowing through, seems to have illuminated an issue with my roof. I've got a skylight above the shower in my master bath and during Isaias it started leaking pretty significantly. I've noticed a few more drops since then, which isn't surprising considering all the rain we've had lately. Luckily, since it's over the shower, the water that came in went right back out. Or so I thought.

The ceiling was sagging a bit where the leak was, so I climbed up into the attic, figuring I need to toss out the insulation and replace all the drywall. Well, it looks worse than that. It looks like it's been leaking for a while and I just didn't know. There's a good amount of what looks like mold and water damage up there, on the ends of the rafters and a few spots of the decking, as well as the drywall.

I know when I'm in over my head. If it were just drywall/mud/paint no problem, but I want a pro in here to evaluate if there is more severe damage, and to make the appropriate repairs. Any recommendations?

Skylights suck! I found some debris jammed into some flashing causing a leak. Make sure the leak is fixed first.

Yep, already had a roof guy come out and seal it up. Looked like it'd been poorly repaired multiple times before.
