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 Dale's Roofing Inc. 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*

I had some skylight panels on my barn that had hail damage and wanted to replace them with metal panels. We are not making an insurance claim so I needed a reasonable estimate, which I received including a 1 year workmanship guarantee. No other company offered that since it was an existing roof. Jordan Foster and Brandon Edmondson came out and did the repairs. Both were very professional and made sure everything was done right. They were friendly and wanted to be sure that I was happy with the repair. They took all the damaged panels and debris with them and made sure there were no screws on the ground (I have horses). I would recommend them highly to anyone that needs roof repairs. They told me to call if I had any problems with the repairs.
