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

    I cannot say enough good things about this company. We used them five years ago for several skylights in the studio room above our garage, and it was a tricky setup, and they did a fabulous job there. So when we wanted to add skylights to our living room, it was a non-brainer to ask them again, and again they did an extraordinary job. They were very patient with our desire to have the skylights go very close to the roof edge, and gave us time to sort out the size we wanted. They did the whole thing in two days flat, with just the right crew members to make it go quickly, but not overwhelming and they’re a friendly bunch, very congenial. You cannot find a better company in my mind.

    This company was excellent from start to finish. They over delivered by doing our job in one day instead of the anticipated two. The crew in our home was stellar: neat, friendly and efficient. They were all over our house, both inside and out and yet did not feel intrusive. Put it this way, when they finished we invited them back to enjoy our property with their families. Never did that before! So far the product is also amazing and makes our passive solar home so much more efficient. Highly recommend.
