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

    We got our skylights replaced and couldn’t be happier. Communication was great, the workers were diligent, and the company is trustworthy. 100% reccomend.

    We are extremely happy with our skylight and the installation. From start to finish the communication was perfect. I now wish we had them all throughout our house. Our bathroom is now bright and feels fresh from the outdoor air. We were able to get money back on our taxes plus we are saving a lot on our utility bills. I highly recommend this company and will use them in the future.

    I’ve used Skylight Service Center several times for skylight installs and they’ve always done great work. Cody and the crew are reliable, show up on time, keep everything clean, and the finished product always looks excellent. Hard to find contractors this dependable anymore. Definitely recommend them.
