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

    My husband and I were so pleased with Chris Holtz from Your Skylight Expert. One of our Velux skylight remotes wouldn’t work. He came over the day after we called him and found out the remote just didn’t work anymore and he not only replaced that remote but reprogrammed all 3 skylights and remotes so they now all operate properly. We really appreciated his prompt and professional service.

    I had a leak around my 3 skylights somewhere! I wasnt sure if it was my roof, flashing or skylights. After meeting at the home and garden show, Chris scheduled to come and check out my velux skylights. I was delighted that Chris found an installation problem within 15 minutes, and he repaired the issue quickly!! I would highly recommend your skylight expert!!

    Your Skylight Expert is a great company that is definitely experts in their field. Our skylight was in need of an upgrade as it would leak on occassion whenever it snowed or we had lots of rain. Gabe and Dakota are great technicians. They were very respectful of our home and cleaned up everything to the original state. I would highly recommend this company. They do not disappoint!
