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 Specialty Home Products Inc. 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

    Specialty did a great job finding and installing our new skylight. I definitely would recommend Chad and his installers.

    It is rare in this day and age to come across any company that provides value for the exchange. Specialty is one of those rare companies. If I had to pick the first thing that comes to mind after my experience with this company—which included skylight replacements and three roofs—I'd say trust. Trust is the number one word that describes them. They earned my trust because their quality is consistently high. They do what they say they're going to do and keep you informed every step of the way. Their quality of work is excellent, and they stand behind it. They schedule and finish jobs in a very timely manner and keep you informed throughout the process. Their prices are fair and competitive, and the quality is hard to beat. If you're considering a new roof, it's a big decision. Call Specialty because they will not only take care of you, but you'll also know you were lucky enough to find a company that prioritizes relationships, value, and service—qualities that are becoming increasingly rare in today's "quick-box" world. These aren't just buzzwords; these are words I've personally spoken from experience. I'm very thankful that I found this company.
