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 Now 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 had three skylights put into the upstairs bedroom of our Cape Cod style house and we could not be happier about the decision. Our room started off very cave-like when we purchased this house and now it feels so airy and cool. Skylights Now was a great partner in this and they delivered on their promise of excellence. If you have an area where you can add skylights, I highly suggest it, these bad boys are sweet!

    I have been very impressed with Skylights Now. Scheduling an estimate for replacement of two skylights was prompt and professional. Communication was easy concerning the ordering and scheduling an installation date. The installation went smoothly and all the workers were friendly, clean and respectful of my property. I am thrilled with the results. I definitely will recommend Skylights Now for anyone needing replacements.

    We are so pleased with our skylights! The whole process from start to finish was top notch! Not only was their quote comparable to another we had gotten, but the communication from the team and the quality of their work was far more than we could have hoped. We are just thrilled with our skylights and the experience as a whole!
