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

    I received a few estimates for Sun Tunnels and I’m glad I chose Boise Skylight. This family-owned business arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made everything easy from start to finish. The installation was quick, professional, and the results turned out great, as shown. I highly recommend them to anyone considering skylights or Sun Tunnels.

    So happy with our experience with Boise Skylight! Everyone we talked to was kind and professional, installation was fast, and the skylights look amazing. We’re blown away with how much light they let in and I’m already planning on adding more! Would 100% recommend this company.

    We had Boise Skylight install a 14" solar tube in our black hole of a laundry room. The results are literally night and day. Work was performed sooner than expected, and both Cody and Steven were awesome to work with - highly recommend this company, no disappointments! Thanks guys
