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 Skylight Magic 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

    Was great to work with William to replace 3 extra-large, custom skylights for our sunroom. Over several months of research, had acquired several other bids for the project prior to William's bid - he came in literally thousands less than what I was previously quoted. On the day of removal then install, William and Josh worked so quickly and efficiently it was hard to believe. The work was done in less than half a day. Not one to leave reviews of any sort but felt compelled to express how impressive and satisfactory this entire transaction and experience was. The final fit and finish of the new skylights from Skylight Magic have brilliantly transformed this sunroom.

    I just had William stop by because I had gotten a kind of high quote to redo the flashing on my existing skylights. He was honest with me and told me he didn’t see the need while the other company had told me otherwise. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out when I consider replacing them in the future.

    William was awesome to work with... came out, measured, gave us a more than fair estimate, ensured the custom size skylight was on track to come in with the roof install. Coordinated seamlessly with North Peak Roofing to have the roof and the skylight install completed the same day. Couldn't be happier with our replacements... tinted glass providing WAY better insulation and sunlight than the old ones. Skylight Magic rocks, thanks guys!
