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

    From start to finish, Cody and his team did an excellent job with replacing two skylights in my home. They are very knowledgeable, professional and care about making sure it's done properly with waterproofing, etc. Highly recommend!

    I am extremely happy with the service I received from Skylight Service Center. From the initial quote and first visit with Cody, to the follow-ups with Nikita, and finally the installation by Yuri and his team, everything exceeded my expectations. The installation of my solar-powered Velux skylight was handled flawlessly. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, exceptionally clean, and highly detail-oriented. You can truly tell that everyone takes great pride in their work. I am VERY picky and detail-oriented, and Cody and his team still went above and beyond what I expected. I will absolutely hire Skylight Service Center again and will confidently refer them to anyone who needs skylight installation in their home. THANK YOU!

    We requested replacement of a skylight and three Sun Tunnels. They have been installed and we couldn't be happier. The entire process was professional, pleasant, and expertly implemented. Cody, Yuri, and crew were a joy to work with and complied with our every request. We highly recommend this company to anyone needing their services. Jeannie and Ken Geddes
