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 Nature Vue Skylights 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 are thrilled with our new Sun Tunnel/solar tube just installed by Naturevue. Living in the historic district meant applying for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project. Naturevue helped us find a solution that got approved. Arlie and his team did a fantastic job. The 14 inch tube really helps brighten my previously very dark front room. The install went off perfectly and they left my home tidy. We are a repeat client having put in 4 Sun Tunnels and two skylights in our Mandarin home 20 years ago. And, there was never a leak or problem of any kind. We often say adding natural light was the best home improvement we ever made!!! PS. Another solar contractor said they wouldn't do the job on a historic home!!! Don’t hesitate to contact Naturevue. You’ll be so happy with the results.

    I am more than thrilled to share this company and the employees who did my 4 skylights installation to anyone looking to replace theirs. Arlie came to assess the removal/installation and the following week he came back with helper Zach to get the job done. Very professional and polite and the work was done before late afternoon. These guys are my heroes and the owner of the company is to be complimented for her professionalism explaining the product and estimations on the work. Velux skylights came with individual shades electronically controlled. Thrilled with my experience!

    Wow!!! My old skylight starting leaking during heavy rains. Called Nature Vue and they came out almost immediately. After Arlie gave me several options for the issue we decided to replace it with a larger upgrade. Arlie and Zach were here on time and upgraded my light tube in less than 3 hours.....WoW!!!! They answered any and all questions and kept me informed on the progress. Great prices, great crew, great service. What else can I say!!!!
