Installation Process

Expert installation made easy.

VELUX® skylight systems and Sun Tunnel® Skylights can be installed in flat or vaulted ceilings in two worry-free phases: rooftop and interior. The pros at BE Daylights will recommend where skylight systems should be installed, so you can reap the maximum benefit from the natural light and fresh air they provide.

Installation Types

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will come inside for interior finish work and possible painting. If you have a flat ceiling, your installer will use drywall or other finish material to build a shaft from the skylight to direct the daylight into the room. This phase takes around half a day per skylight.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole and fasten the VELUX skylight to the roof with three layers of protection to prevent leaks. Depending on the circumstances such as roof pitch and weather, the rooftop phase can take between one and three days.
2-3+ Days Total*

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the ceiling to install the lower portion of the reflective tube between the roof and ceiling.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the roof and install the top collar, the upper portion of the reflective tunnel, the lens and the flashing.
2 Hours*

The Room

There may be a small amount of interior drywall work depending on your replacement situation, but the majority of the replacement process will take place on the roof.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights

    If you’re looking for someone who brings both craftsmanship and soul into their work, Oscar at Altar Aqua Skylights is the one you want. I recently had him and his team install skylights in my living room and entry, and the transformation is absolutely unbelievable. What used to be one of the darkest rooms in my home is now bright, open, and full of life — exactly the kind of energy I’ve always wanted here. The before and after photos were taken at the same time of the day. I wanted people to really see the difference it made. Oscar doesn’t just “do a job”; he approaches each project like a piece of art. He paid attention to what I wanted the space to feel like, not just how it should look. His crew was professional, clean, and respectful, and the work was done beautifully and efficiently. What I appreciate most is that Oscar pours genuine passion into his work. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the final result. It has truly changed the atmosphere of my home and how I feel in it. If you want someone who brings light—literally and creatively—into your space, I highly recommend Oscar and Altar Aqua Skylights. Five stars. Zero hesitation. Completely worth it. 🤍

    Oscar and team are fantastic! Our old "bubble" skylight was inefficient and ugly. The BE Daylights team arrived on time, replacing our skylight with a beautiful, energy efficient Vellux skylight with shade. It has already made such a huge difference in the atmosphere of our home and the our A/C is not working nearly as hard. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves so we could enjoy the day. Thank you so much for your work!

    Wow!! We are sooo happy with our new skylight!! The house is inundated with light and everything in it looks much nicer!! Oscar’s team is amazing, not only they did an excellent job installing it but they also left our place super clean after putting together all the furniture as it was before. They even took with them all the debris!! Thank you so much for giving new life to our home!!
