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 Synergy Skylights and Roofing 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

    I had Synergy Skylights and Roofing install a skylight for me and I was very satisfied with their work. They were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I would gladly recommend them to anyone.

    We've been living with our new skylights for about a month now and we couldn't love them more!!! We got the solar powered ones with the integral shades, and they make such a difference! I don't know how we lived here for 20 years without them. Our old skylights leaked badly and had completely inadequate shades. Two of the shades we couldn't even open and one we couldn't close. We're very interested to see how much cooler the house is in the summer, just by being able to close the shades during the day and open the skylights for ventilation at night. We're confident we won't need to use the AC as much. Our new skylights were installed in December so we thought we'd have to wait until spring to see what it's like to have skylights that don't leak, but nature had other plans. Within a week we had a rainstorm that brought more than 2.5 inches of rain in a day....without a leak in sight! We put the project off for so long, partly because the whole thing seemed very daunting, but the process with Synergy couldn't have been easier. Laureyn and Nick were great to work with. Laureyn was always available to answer our questions and Nick and the crew were courteous, friendly and did a spectacular job. The largest standard skylight available still didn't fit the opening of our old skylights, so Nick and co framed them in to fit so we didn't have to pay for custom sized skylights. I can't even imagine what that would have cost. We just wish Synergy offered other services besides roofing and skylights. It's not easy to find contractors you can trust. We would have them back here for all of our projects. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
