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 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 recently had four skylights installed at my house and was very happy with the service and the product. I was referred to skylight pros by my friend as I always loved the lighting in his home. Now I love the lighting in my home.

    I have had a very positive experience working with skylight pros. When Mannie and Carlton originally came over to check out my home I had a particular idea for skylights. However they were able to suggest a design that is far superior and allowed the structure of the roof to stay the same. Later during installation, Luis, Joey, and the others were great to work with. They were professional, courteous, and all around good company even with the temperatures in the 90s! They took their time programming the skylights at the end and consistently more thoughtful about all of their work the whole way through. This is a great company who has a strong connection to the market leader Velux. So if you are consider considering skylight definitely reach out to these guys. In addition to the four master bedroom skylights I also had a replacement skylight in the master bath which now is the type that opens and closes automatically. This was a huge upgrade over what was existing and I chose it on their suggestion which I much appreciated. Skylights Pros has a close connection with market leader Velux and were able to get some good discounts on some of the skylights. That was a helpful bonus!
