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 Big Coast 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.

YUP……another review…..!!! BCS has done it again! ✨✨✨✨✨😊🎶Brian and Jordan installed my new range fan/hood today….looks fabulous indeed! They cleaned up worksite afterwards and I could not be happier. A quality, professional job as always. THANK YOU BCS 👌🏠 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This review is a bit tardy....as....has been a few years ago Brian replaced our kitchen skylight, and installed two AWESOME tube lights over both my showers. They have solar LED lights and light the bathroom all night long….. we love them! Brian’s extensive construction/roofing knowledge from years of experience, is evident in how efficiently and professionally he applies to his beautiful work. I had Brian come out a few days ago to ensure that all skylights were properly secured and sealed, as I had a new roof installed. I now can sleep at night knowing they will not leak!!! Thank you BIG COAST!!! Oh - one more thing.....if you are like me and appreciate a quick response after reaching out to them, you will be pleasantly surprised as Cary will always reply to my call, text or Email within a day or so....they know what excellent customer service is!!! Kate W- PASO ROBLES, CA ✨✨✨✨✨ I highly recommend BIG COAST SKYLIGHTS. Cary got me in the calendar right away and Brian made a few important repairs to a tube skylight after the roof was replaced.

I can highly recommend Big Coast Skylights. We had a skylight crack and wanted an estimate to replace it. They offered the VELUX opening model we wanted and showed it was eligible for a federal tax rebate. We decided to replace another smaller skylight at the same time as it was the same age and showing signs of age. The new Velux opening skylight offers remote control and the ability to schedule the opening and closing of the skylight and the integrated shade. This feature has proven very helpful. After seeing what they could offer, we also installed a light tube in a dark corridor. We received an estimate, ordered everything, and fixed an installation date. Everything went perfectly to plan. We love the results!!! —Update— The original work went so well that we decided to update two old skylights with more efficient Velux ones and add another one in another dark hallway. We added solar night lights with some skylights; with others, we replaced a ceiling light and added an internal light in the skylight. The improvement is spectacular. Again, the quality was top-quality, and everything was done on time. We love the Velux product, which is top-quality and has an excellent warranty. I would highly recommend Big Coast Skylights.

The entire team at Big Coast Skylights worked together to ensure that my new skylight was installed perfectly. I have not experienced such excellent communication on details about skylight opening orientation. It is now installed so that when open I can see the sky and it catches the breeze. They ordered clear glass so I can view the daytime sky. The last one was frosted and obscured. Their communication on all matters was prompt and patient.
