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 Roofing & More, Inc 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*

    Roofing and More did excellent work—replacing four custom-measure skylights. They were on time, communication was good, the price was reasonable, and they were highly professional from start to finish of the entire experience. Highly recommended!

    Benny was great I've used him for skylights and gutters and he's been excellent, prompt, and affordable! Highly recommend.

    In the end, we are happy with our new roof, skylights and gutter system. It did however require more effort to get here than should have been expected. Roofing & More showed up when they said they would, and showed concern regarding their mistakes and fixed them promptly. However, these issues were avoidable and shouldn't have occurred. First, they had installed two damaged/defective skylights and left it up to us to detect the dented frame and poor-fitting cladding. To give them credit, they replaced these without question when the issue was pointed out. The greater issue was how they left their work site. On the first night the installers essentially blocked every route out of the house with shingles, nails, hoses, electric cables, trash and their truck. It was as if they dropped everything at quitting time and went home. After we complained, all following nights they cleaned the site before quitting for the day. The final clean-up was pretty good, but I'm still finding nails, screws, plastic, shingle and tar paper scraps on the ground. Regardless we shouldn't have needed to complain. This is my second roof replacement in the past three years, just not on the same house or with the same company, so I have a basis to compare our experience to.
