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

    Extremely professional and reliable. The price for my new roof system was very reasonable.
  • Frank Roque
    I’m extremely impressed with Elite Roofing and highly recommend them. They replaced our roof in essentially one day, then returned the following morning for a few hours to finish the remaining details and complete a thorough cleanup. Their crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property, leaving our home and yard in impeccable condition. They also went above and beyond by replacing some rotting fascia at no additional charge, securing a loose floodlight, and promptly replacing a gutter that was accidentally damaged during the work—without hesitation or complaint. The quality of their work and level of professionalism were outstanding. It’s clear that Elite Roofing takes pride in doing the job right and making sure the customer is completely satisfied.
