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 Skylights & Roofing Experts LLC 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 needed a leak diagnosed and were unsure if it was gutter, roof or skylight. Andres and Cristina came out promptly to inspect. They took photos and found the problem right away. They explained everything clearly and offered me a couple options for solutions in order to give me different price points to work with. We ended up replacing several skylights and were so pleased with the final result. Everything looks great. The crew was very professional and the work seems top notch. The communication was very detailed and Cristina is just lovely to work with. I feel confident that this company really knows their stuff and is providing solid work. I would use them again and I would recommend them!

    We recently had three skylights replaced by Skylights & Roofing Experts, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. All the positive reviews I read beforehand were spot on—this company really delivers. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly experienced. The new skylights look great and were installed with care and attention to detail. Communication throughout the process was clear and timely, and the crew made sure everything was clean before they left. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely call them again for future work. Great job!

    We found this company just through google search. Andre was very professional and they were also cheaper than other companies we asked for an estimate. Also, my husband said that Andre knew what he was talking about when he came to do an assessment for the estimate. Very happy with the quality of work. They completed work over two half days. Our skylights look great. Thank you and defo recommend this company.
