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 G. Fedale Roofing & Siding - North Wales 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 a great experience with G. Fedale Roofing. They came to replace both of our skylights. Chris S., our project consultant was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Mickey the installation technician did great work, we could not be happier. Overall, we could not be happier!

    Today, I had the pleasure of working with Shane Cotte as my project manager for my skylight install. She was very comprehensive in her analysis of the property and work to be done. I could hear her on the phone working with vendors to ensure all the pieces that went into my install were proper. She was extremely apologetic about an issue with the roof tiles, but that turned out to be entirely my fault. Shane was willing to do whatever it took to make that right. I appreciated her honesty and transparency. In the end, she took good care to ensure the inside of the house was clean and restored to its original state. That was something I thought I had to do!! Finally, she was not happy with the way the new skylites fit into the openings of the old skylites, so she worked to ensure the difference was fixed and prevented me from having to climb up there. All in all, I appreciate and thank Shane and the G. Fedale crew for the accurate and quick work they did to take care of my needs. Thank you very much.

    Mickey was fantastic. He worked fast and effectively and did a nice job cleaning up. He worked in some tough conditions (heat and rain) but worked through it to do a wonderful job on our skylights.
