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 Benjamin's Skylights 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
1 Day Total*
*Time estimates are based on averages. Project duration varies based on its complexity.

Great service and communication. Benjamin and his assistant removed an old dilapidated skylight and replaced it with a solid new one! They also installed a roof vent and bathroom exhaust fan. Definitely recommend!!

Benjamin explained my options clearly, provided a fair and transparent estimate and completed the work efficiently and neatly.

We had Benjamin and his team out last week to install three replacement skylights and they did a wonderful job. He was on-time explained the process and got the job done quickly. I couldn't recommend him enough. If you need some skylight work done, he's your guy!

Benjamin installed my skylight and I wouldn’t use or call anyone else. He’s professional, smart, patient and he provides great value. One day installation was nice and impressive.

Benjamin answers the phone at first ring whenever I have called. He gives quote very promptly and is highly knowledgeable about skylights. He came over today on his day off to get our skylight changed out. The job was done in 2 hours. He is a breath of fresh air in my experience working with contractors. Highly recommend him.

He did a great job installing a Sun Tunnel in the stairwell. He was prompt at replies, prompt at communication, and his work looks clean. I requested to have all crevaces covered up in the attic so that there wouldn't be any bugs in the Sun Tunnel and he spent a good amount of time making sure all creases were sealed. Any mess was cleaned up. I highly reccomend their workmanship.
