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 Boise Skylight 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

    Everyone that was part of our skylight project was great to work with, they did an amazing job and we couldnt be happier with the results. We liked the first skylight so much we had them do a 2nd one. Thanks Paul and Steven!

    Replacing an old skylight. They came out and assessed what was needed ,ordered the skylight and installed once it came in. The installation took maybe 15 minutes to remove old skylight and put new one in without a mess. Outstanding and highly recommend.

    I called Boise Skylight to come replace some skylights in my older manufactured home. Phil came out and gave me a free quote that was pleasantly lower than I anticipated. Manufactured homes come with their own set of issues, and Phil was great explaining the process. I scheduled the job and they were able to come complete it within 2 weeks. Their work and customer service is top notch. They communicated every step with me and sent me photos of their work. I would recommend them to anyone!
