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

    I compared skylight prices with several vendors, and this company truly stood out. Not only were their prices very competitive, but the owner also took the time to thoroughly explain the products and assess exactly what my home needed. I really appreciated that he focused on doing the right job rather than pushing me into any unnecessary services. The installation itself was excellent. They finished a large roof project in just one day, and the craftsmanship was beautiful. After completing the work, the team carefully checked and cleaned up all the nails to ensure there were no hazards left around the house — a level of attention to detail that is rare these days. Overall, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and trustworthy. I highly recommend them.

    I needed a full roof replacement and got quotes from 5 area companies. Carlos was the most helpful and straightforward in the estimating process. He answered all my questions, explained the products and options well and was excellent about communicating as I selected a vendor. Skylight has a competitive price- not the lowest but the total cost was one I felt very comfortable with after working with Carlos. The day of the roof install went great. The team showed up in time and prepped well and got the job done in a long day. The new roof looks great and I am Happy I have a durable long lasting product. I can recommend Carlos and Skylight Roofing for further work. I especially liked the drone footage updates of the process.

    Worked with Carlos Cuello to have a Silicone Roof System applied to commercial roof. Carlos and Team did a great job on prep, application and cleanup. Customer service and communication was top notch. Would strongly recommend Carlos and Skylight!
