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 had a great experience with Mike from DryHome! I got his reference through my neighbor when I was dealing with a roof leak at my home. Mike was extremely professional and thorough. He took the time to inspect the attic and investigate the issue to identify the root cause of the leak rather than just addressing the symptoms. He then coordinated with his team to prepare a detailed estimate covering all the necessary repairs. The DryHome team did a great job fixing the issue, and I truly appreciate Mike's professionalism, communication, and follow-through. I would highly recommend DryHome to anyone looking for reliable roofing services. It's great to work with someone who takes genuine ownership and stands behind their work!

    Very honest and trustworthy. I was given quote from a competitor, who stated we needed to replace our roof ASAP. DHR then came by, patched a tiny section where a few shingles were missing, and stated our roof was just fine and would last several more years. They then gave me an estimate to do the work that was 1/2 what the competitor wanted to charge.

    Dry home to the fabulous job of replacing my roof. They had much better customer service than other companies I interacted with! You can’t go wrong with them!
