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

    This is a third time. A third time Skylight service center helped me with our projects. Being a general contractor it's not that easy to find a proper company that not just make a good installation, but also provide a great service to our valuable clients at a decent price. Communication was so easy and smooth, I was not worried even for a second. After cutting the section of the roofing, guys saw an old vent pipe that was left in the roof. They contacted me immediately and provided me the information on how they'll take care of it and asked for my permission. A tru professionals. Also, they have a lot of different options for the skylights. Shape, form, operation, etc. If you need a skylight, do look further and get Skylight Service Center.

    We had two skylights that were over 15 years old and had become inoperable. I contacted Skylight Service Center and Nikita was able to schedule an inspection for the same day. Cody arrived on time with a text notification beforehand. After inspecting both skylights, he recommended replacing them with newer solar-powered models and clearly explained our options. Later that evening, he sent an all-in quotation, which we agreed to, and came by the next day to collect the deposit. A few weeks later, Nikita called to schedule the installation. The crew actually arrived early, completed the job ahead of schedule, and was very neat, placing plastic sheeting under the work areas and cleaning up afterward. The new solar-powered skylights work great, and the built-in sunshades are a nice upgrade. Top-notch service and follow-up from Cody, Nikita, and the installation team. I would definitely recommend Skylight Service Center.

    Nikita and Cody were very responsive, answered all our questions and worked quickly to provide quotes and get our replacement skylights installed. They and their team were extremely capable, and completed the job in the time stated. The attention to detail and care taken was impressive. The new Velux skylights are great, and we look forward to many years of enjoyment.
