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 Southern AZ Roof Associates 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

    Dan Thatcher and Melonie are absolute professionals, including the whole team. I've been working with Southern Arizona Roof Associates for any of my skylight service needs and will continue to because they provide top notch customer service whether the job is big or small. They have an excellent selection of skylights from double pane Velux skylights to the new polycarbonate styles. If you want a quality professional installation from roofs to skylight installations, I would highly recommend you go with Southern Arizona Roof Associates !!!!

    SARA replaced the incorrect flashing on one of my Skylights, and installed a new Velux skylight with a solar-powered shade on another. Super job!
  • Teresa Mackey
    From start to finish, this project was perfectly managed. I always knew what was happening every step of the way. I had a premium roof installed, insulation and 2 Velux skylights. I have already noticed a savings in my heating bill. The unfiltered light that comes in the Velux skylights brings the outdoors into my house AND they are energy efficient. Locally owned, and family operated, I would recommend Southern Arizona Roof Associates to anyone. Thanks, Dan!
