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 DryHome Sun Solutions 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

    Great experience with this company. They replaced our skylights, and we couldnt be more pleased that we chose them among all available contractors. From the initial consultation to timely installation by professional, friendly technicians and a fair price, the entire job was well done. Highly recommend!

    Quite sincerely, the service by DryHome relating to the inspection, work, and follow up on my Fairfax station home following a recent storm was nothing short of stellar. To the untrained eye, it was not obvious that there was significant damage to the roof. Mike, the insurance and roof specialist from DryHome, was not only trained, but was literally bona fide and certified expert on wind and hail damage. He was not only able to objectively, verify Damage, but also provided evidence for damage that the insurance company had either completely missed or misrepresented. Unlike the interactions I had with my insurance company, Mike was always timely, professional and thorough in our communications- He guided me through the process to ensure I was able to receive the maximum amount of coverage. The DryHome installation crew who eventually did the actual work were likewise extremely professional and thorough in their work - both inside and outside the house. (I had to get a new attic fan as well as a bathroom skylight installed.) finally, the staff at Dry Home was likewise as equally professional, courteous, and timely, and all their communications would be throughout the process. Not only would I recommend DryHome for service, I actually already did. I noticed Mike one day after my work had been done back in our neighborhood and he said that my neighbor across the street, contacted them for service on their roof. I have absolutely no regrets about having called them to take care of the roof on our home. Thanks for a great job!

    I contacted Dry Home to reseal my skylights that were leaking air badly, especially in the winter. Easy to schedule, neat and efficient.
