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 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

    Excellent customer service today with having my existing skytube replaced. Steven was very knowledgeable and efficient. Both he and his assistant were very respectful. They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. I already recommended them to our daughter.

    I contacted Boise Skylight by text, and Cody texted me right back. After sending a few photos of our skylight, I was able to get an estimate. I was surprised at how affordable and simple the whole process was—we honestly should have done this a long time ago! Steve came out and replaced the cover in about 10 minutes. He’s an awesome guy, and we probably chatted with him longer than we needed to! Before installing the new cover, he answered all of our questions and made sure we understood everything. They use quality skylight covers that are very similar to the windows in our home that were recently replaced. They have UV protection and the slightest green tint, which looks great. We’re very happy to have this project behind us. Thanks so much to Boise Skylight for making the whole experience so easy!

    We had a perfect experience with Boise Sky Light. Steven was awesome. He was on time, professional, personable and extremely competent. The construction mess was quite small and he cleaned up well after the installation. We highly recommend Boise Sky Light.
