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

VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights

    Great price & great work. The job was explained to me from beginning to end. They arrived on time and left when they were completely done with the cleanup. I’m glad I chose Skylight Roofing over the mini companies I interviewed and will be recommending them to friends and family

    I had a wonderful experience with Skylight Roofing & Restoration. They did an excellent job replacing two skylights in my home. The owner was very responsive throughout the estimating and scheduling process and was professional and reliable. He arrived with copies of the company’s license and insurance and took the time to explain the work in detail. The workers did a great job with the installation and cleanup, leaving everything neat and tidy. I highly recommend Skylight Roofing & Restoration for their professionalism, quality of work, and excellent customer service.
