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 Service Center 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

    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

    I had personally held off upgrading my frosted fixed skylight to an opening one for many years because I thought the installed price might be too high for the advantage I would get and then worried of the hassle. I read many reviews and contacted a few Skylight shops before making my decision who to go with. I am extremely satisfied with how easy the process with, the affordability and the overall process. Cody who I started the process with in scheduling and them pricing. Yury came out initially to measure and then a few weeks later to install. I went with the Velux Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylight System. Cody was great and easy to work with, Yury was quick and excellent to work with. The install was worry free and they took great care not to make a mess inside or outside the home. Thank you Cody, Yury and Skylight Service Center!
