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

    We had some gutter work and siding repair done. The consultant and PM were communicative and easy to work with. Price was reasonable and work looks good!

    We just had a new roof put on our home by G Fedale. Tyler was the supervisor and kept us informed about the job. His crew did an excellent job and really cleaned up when completed. Would highly recommend.

    When I called to request service my request was promptly scheduled. Mike Stefani was my project consultant. He gave me the warmest greeting and was professional in a very positive manner. He did a thorough assessment of my two flat roofs as well as inspecting the whole roof. He presented to me a honest review of the scope of the work, giving me options and suggestions of what would be the best to complete the project. He also identified a problem with my chimney which I appreciated since it could have cause real damage to my home. I received my proposal fully outlining my options and had my contract promptly processed. On the day the work began I was greeted by Tyler Van Scoyk who explained he was the manager of my project. From the start, he was very clear about what was happening and how he would handle the project. He was very professional, and treated me and my home with respect. When the team was waiting for some supplies to be delivered, he asked if I had anything in my house that I would want to dispose of which could be placed in the dumpster. When we were removing a few items from my basement, Tyler noticed a leak coming from my sewage line. If he hadn’t noticed this I would have been in real trouble with a major disaster! He was very attentive to the progress for the work on my roofs. Checking frequently with his team and keeping me informed of the progress. He also followed up to be sure I was able to get the issue I had with the sewer line taken care of in a timely manner. He certainly is an amazing, thoughtful, caring man. I have told my story to many of my friends and will highly recommend your services. I also would like to give the highest possible compliments and recommendations for the most professional individuals I had the pleasure of working with, Mike and Tyler. They are the best!!!!
