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 contacted William after reading reviews of his integrity, promptness, and great service—and found that he had all those qualities. He replaced one of 7 skylights that I have and did not push to replace others—which I found commendable, since I believe in the when, then principle. He and Josh were polite, took pains to keep the area under the skylight protected, and worked tirelessly to get the skylight seated and secured perfectly. The cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Skylight Magic.

    Highly recommend William and Skylight Magic!! Recently worked with William and his team to replace six 30 year old VELUX skylights on a mountain home in Pine Colorado. Competitive pricing! Expert and professional installation! Quality product! Such an easy and smooth process. LOVE the solar-powered blinds! They weren’t included with the older product and such an upgrade!! Definitely reach out to William for your skylight needs!!
