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

    This local business was super easy to work with for replacement of both of our old skylights with new VELUX solar shade systems. They also replaced the flashing and our interior wood trim that was damaged by condensation. It did take a few weeks to get us on the install schedule, but we were in no rush. They don’t sub out their installs and their guys are clearly very experienced at their craft. Got up there with the drone and everything looks great! Easy to recommend this company.

    ​Exceeded my expectations! When I purchased my house, I knew I had to pursue a skylight installation because the kitchen was quite dark/gloomy from the overhanging patio just outside the only kitchen window there is. I'm so glad that I did! It has made such a HUGE difference and all the natural light it brings in is amazing! It not only looks modern and updates my kitchen, but its also more welcoming and widens the room. From start to finish, it went really smoothly and everyone I interacted with was very friendly and professional. Julia was extremely helpful and great to work with in providing information, what to expect and answering any questions I had. Nick and Jake did my skylight install and they did a phenomenal job! I requested that the flare of the skylight be as wide open as it would allow and they accomplished what I wanted. They also installed the lighting for me, which was such a huge help. I am very appreciative and love my new skylight! :))))))) The before/after pictures speak for themselves.
