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 Solutions TX 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

    A hailstorm punched a hole in my skylight. I contacted several roofers nearby to fix it. But each roofer was busy. The storm struck a large area. The hail damage was widespread. One roofer nearby said the storm damaged his own roof on the same night. He had to tarp his roof at 4 AM. Then he had to fix multiple roofs in Oklahoma. A solo roofer came by to cover the skylight with a tarp. For the time being, this keeps the house dry. It would take weeks to supply new skylight domes. Two weeks later, Skylight Solutions became available. They were in Dallas, so they were not that close. Yet within an hour's drive. But they manufactured skylight domes. They even ship the domes across the nation. I felt lucky to be within their reach. Their pro came to inspect the skylight. He left the tarp cover on. This way, rain wouldn’t enter the house. But he couldn’t see the method of securing the skylight to the house. He was certain of the dimensions. The size was not standard. Skylight Solutions had to make a custom dome. A few weeks later, the same pro came and installed the new dome. He said there is a more secure way to install the dome. I declined the option to have a stronger installation. The house move was draining our funds at a fast pace. The new dome looks good from the outside and inside. Skylight Solutions had a quality product and good installation. No wonder they have a 4.9 out of five rating.

    My guys were working on a roof and accidentally broke a skylight. Skylight Solutions came through very quickly and offered fantastic customer service. Big shout out to A-Aron the installer who came out to fix the skylight. Good work man!

    I’ve sone business with SS on two separate occasions and I’ve been pleased each time. They are definitely recommended for skylight(s) replacement
