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 Desert Sky Daylight LLC 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*
*Time estimates are based on averages. Project duration varies based on its complexity.

The crew at Desert Sky were so nice and professional. We had a skylight added to our laundry room and it made such an improvement. We can go in without turning on a light now. Adds so much light! The installer was so fast and cleaned up once finished.
-
We had 25 year old Velux skylights that were no longer working properly. We had searched in vain for a dealer in Utah to repair them. Just within the last year Desert Sky Daylight started their business. They replaced & installed our new Velux skylights within two weeks of contacting them. The crew worked efficiently, cleanly & professionally. We are very pleased to have knowledgeable craftsmen install the best.

Absolutely amazing the difference these Sun Tunnels brought into our home, so much natural light where we weren’t getting it!! Also I can really feel the difference in the solar fan attic from the heat in my garage, so I’m excited to see how much that helps with my air conditioning not needing to run as much to keep the temps regulated? Recommend 100% for fast, punctual, clean and flawless work, the before and after pics of our remodel show how great they work. Thanks again Michael & Wade!!

The natural light off our Sun Tunnels is AMAZING. Incredible product and profession staff. Michael and Wade were great to work with! We wanted our Sun Tunnels in a particular spot, but after talking with Wade, we put them in a different spot that made way more sense. These guys are very competent, friendly, and professional and the bright, natural light has been very helpful for our winter blues.
