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

    SSC sold and installed a VELUX 4646 solar vented skylight to replace the same size triple domed skylight. The SSC team were great. Sent someone out to take measurements (less than 30 min) and provide a quote (in a day). The quote / contract includes manufactures warranty plus installation labor warranty. See website for details. As a certified VELUX installer, they diagnose and repair any issues for no charge under the product warranty. Install happened 3 weeks later and was completed in less than 2 hours - including removal of the existing skylight. The install team was super professional and safe. They removed some tiles on the roof to safely set their ladders and then properly patched the holes before reinstalling the tiles (a step easy to skip). Once installed, they worked with me to confirm perfect fit. Before they departed, they demonstrated the full function of the skylight (venting and shading) with provided remotes. It’s rained for the past three days and there is no problem. The rain detection function on the skylight really works as proven with real rain today. Highly recommended company and product based in my experience!

    We dealt with Cody at Skylight Services. The crew was quick, efficient, friendly and left everything spotless. My husband said they were hard workers. We are very happy with our new skylight. Many thanks for a job well done.

    We just replaced our old skylights and added a whole new one in one of the bathrooms, for a total of 3. Velux brand. Cody and his team did a fantastic job. We are enjoying our vented-style, solar-energy-operated.
