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 Sky's The Limit Sun Tunnel & Skylight Installers 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*

    Jim Sittig at Sky’s the Limit was great to work with from the time he came to give an estimate through to installation of the replacement skylight. Great communication. Answered all questions thoroughly and clearly. Professional, friendly, and accommodating. Arrived when he said he would, completed the work efficiently, and cleaned up everything both inside and out. Overall, my experience was terrific. I will definitely use Sky’s the Limit if needed in the future.

    Back in 2024 we hired Jim to replace a leaking skylight. We couldn’t have been happier with the job. Jim is meticulous with his craftsmanship and cleanup. We needed to replace 2 more skylights this year and we wouldn’t think of hiring someone else. Thanks again Jim!
