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 H.R. Skylights & Sun Tunnels 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.

Our skylight leaked during heavy rain recently. Kevin from HR came and fixed right away. We could not be more pleased with the work and the experience with Kevin. We will definitely recommend HR for roofing and skylights jobs.

A++++++ I cannot say enough about my experience with Kevin at H.R. Skylights! Absolute professional, great communication and most of all great product and install. We just love our new solar shade Velux skylights. 100% recommend this company.

I have 4 skylights w/blinds, solar-operated in very high cathedral ceilings. My controller stopped working after 6 years and needed a new box with new programming. Kevin had to climb up to each of the skylights to connect to the new box programming. One of the skylights is over a stairwell and on the edge of the impossible to reach. Kevin, with great difficulty, was able to make it up there and do the programming. An amazing job! Very pleased and would highly recommend!

We have used Hills Roofing for numerous repairs and upgrades for our house and have always received a great price and fantastic service. The latest job was a skylight replacement. The job was completed quickly and with great care. I always recommend Hills Roofing to our neighbors for roofing, gutters, skylights and fascia.
