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 Circle City 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

    The best home contractors I've ever done business with. The job itself, two skylights in a room that needed the roof reframed, went smoothly and flawlessly. They handled all carpentry and roof work quickly and masterfully. Three working days and I had the finished room. They were intelligent and honest about what was and wasn't feasible, including advising against projects that would have harmed my house. Every question I asked, they answered promptly. They were transparent about pricing, which was all very reasonable. My living room is completely transformed; previously dark and unpleasant, it's now bright and full of life and energy. Skylights are a wonderful home addition, and these guys are the best team I can imagine to hire.

    100% first rate! Price was reasonable and exactly what was quoted. Contractors were professional, fast, and friendly. I didn't have one bit of clean up afterward. Randy and the whole team were fantastic! Wish they did more than skylights. Best contractors ever!

    Really enjoyed our experience. The guy came out, looked at our skylight and without even getting on our roof knew the size of the skylight. He sent the quote that night and a week later (when we were ready, the team came and replaced the skylight, flashing and roofing around the skylight. Such a seamless easy experience. Very little mess and the guys were amazing! Also, I received a quote from another company and this one was much better by almost $500.
