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
1 Day Total*
*Time estimates are based on averages. Project duration varies based on its complexity.

Franco operates a very professional business specializing in solving unique skylight problems. He and his team solved my problems on time, within budget with a high quality solution to my unique skylight problem. Franco is a man of his word and will stand behind his work. He is a professional in every way and I’d retain his services again in a heart beat.

Franco and his installation team were very professional, the work was completed on time, and without any issues. Also, F A B Construction carries worker's compensation insurance. You'd be amazed how many bids we received from contractors without WC insurance. If you need new skylights, I recommend getting an estimate from F A B.

I used FAB Construction for a recent replacement of a home skylight. The service was fair and reasonably priced and I am 100% satisfied as a customer. I highly recommend FAB Construction.

Thank you Franco and the FAB Construction team for replacing my three leaking skylights!!! Very reasonable quote as compared to other companies around the area. Franco was very knowledgeable about skylights and could tell he had a lot of experience with them, which was exactly what I was looking for! Kept working area covered and cleaned up after the job what's done. We're always on time and finished the job in two days! They even patched up my ceiling, which was damaged by the leaking skylight. Patching and texturing was on point. I can't even tell where the damage was. They are authorized Velux Skylight installers as stated on ten Velux website. Overall, I was very satisfied with there service! Would definitely recommend them to family and friends!

Franco and his company was courteous, professional, and polite. He gave mean honest assessment and estimate without trying to upsell me on upgrades or more expensive options. He took my ideas into consideration and provided me great options to choose from. The work was spot on and the crew was fast, efficient, and clean. There was no trace of a mess or work having been done besides the finished product. I not only recommend FAB, but will use them again for future work.

Franco and his FAB Construction team are extremely responsive, competent and do First Class work in every respect. They recently replaced 4 skylights for us - 2 opening units and 2 fixed units - and we're extremely happy with the final results. Franco is a very special guy who will do whatever it takes to satisfy his customers. We highly recommend him and his company!!

Everything went very smooth with my roof repair. They were able to get me an appointment within a couple of days (even during el nino season). They showed up on time, repaired the damage quickly, and they stuck to the quote they gave me over the phone...plus it was much cheaper than other places I called around to. Basically, excellent service at an excellent price...I highly recommend them!

We used FAB Construction for residential remodeling including demolition, framing, drywall, electrical, light tube, doors and casework. FAB also managed subcontracted plumbing, cabinets and granite work. All work was completed professionally, fairly and timely. We do not hesitate to recommend them.

Franco made my skylight replacement super easy. I could tell Franco knew his business when I talked to him over the phone. From the quote to the day of the installation, Franco and his crew did a great job of explaining my options and following through with the work. As a Corona resident, I found FAB construction through local Yelp reviews. I am glad I chose this company. Highly satisfied!!!

We started out with another dealer for our skylight and tunnel products. The other dealer in OC "Skylights Plus" was a disaster. Fortunately Franco at Fab Construction stepped in and rescued us from a very bad experience They are great to work with, very accommodating, professional , and know their stuff! I would certainly recommend their services to anyone interested in Skylight purchasing
