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

    Absolutely recommend using Specialty. From initial consultation to completion of replacing our roof, the communication and follow thru was phenomenal. Can’t say enough about how professional the roofing crew was; friendly, timely and always took extra effort to clean the site each day. Really appreciated the professionalism displayed.

    I must confess, I wasn't too excited about replacing my 26 year old roof but it had to be done! I am so happy with the new roof! Everyone was great to work with from the owner, the supervisors and the crew! The crew even had to contend with a pesky neighbor!! I live in a HOA and my neighbors are stopping and asking about my roof and who did the construction. Anyway, I highly recommend !!!!

    Rick was great to work with. Friendly and informative with no pressure. Todd showed up to do the shingles replacement and had it done in no time. Definitely would recommend Specialty Exteriors!
