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

Two skylights removed and two new ones installed in one day. Excellent job.
-
We decided to replace our 33 year old skylight and they were FANTASTIC! They answered the phone on the first try, came out to the house as scheduled. Not only did their employees complete the job on time, they alerted us to a few things on our roof that we would never have knows (and we had just had the roof worked on). Highly recommend this company on every level.

Very pleased with my complete experience with Exterior Arts. I am also thankful for the quick installation of our skylights to keep us from further damage.

We just had skylights installed. Few was short after 1st day and had to finish on 3rd day vs. 1 day, but we would have been surprised at a 1 day job for 2 skylights. Workers were quiet, clean and respectful. So far, as of day 2, no issues, but too early to rate. Dawn was on top of it as was the salesman. I’d choose them again if today was the day.
