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

  • Jennifer Rizzo
    Painless experience and financing was easy. Chris B and his crew did a great job and the new roof looks great!
  • Barry Brill
    Excellent company to work with. Communication is exceptional. Text messages confirming my appointment with Zack out of their Georgetown office with his estimated arrival time. Zack called before arriving and showed up exactly on time. As busy as my days are, having that accuracy was so helpful. He evaluated my roof for replacement. He has been very knowledgeable and straightforward in everything we discussed. Having been in the service business my entire life I highly recommend Zack and G Fedale !
  • Russell Hendricks
    We just had our roof replaced and the company was excellent. The project manager, Chris Battistone was attentive and professional. The crew worked extremely hard on very hot days. They were very good at clean up after the days work. Thank you the Hendricks
