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 Michigan Skylight 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

I have 5 skylights in my house the previous owner neglected to replace when they did the roof. Had a few other quotes but Michigan Skylight Pros was the most competitive and it was clear they know their stuff (they have the highest VELUX cert) My sales person (Marvin) was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. The crew showed up and competed the removal and install in 1 day. They were very professional, meticulous, polite, and clean. They knew exactly what they were doing and the new skylights turned out beautiful (both inside and out). I would not hesitate to hire them again and have already recommended them to friends and family. If you have skylights in need of replacement, these are your guys. FYI this is the skylight division of McGlinch & Sons, it’s all they do, and they do it well. Could not be more pleased with the entire process. Thank you!!
