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 Daylight Solutions 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
1 Day Total*
*Time estimates are based on averages. Project duration varies based on its complexity.

Highly recommend Daylight Solutions for skylights. After years of hiring roofers to “reseal” my leaky skylights, I finally decided the only solution was to replace them. The customer service could not have been better. I wish I had found them years ago.

I bought a home with a leaky skylight. Chris and his team correctly fitted the new skylight. I’ve been through a tornado, a hurricane and heavy rains without any leaking. Great work, excellent communication. Highly recommend!

Chris Manges and his team did an exceptional job installing two Velux skylights in our condo living room! We have a high vaulted ceiling and it is difficult to reach the area for the installation. They were there promptly in the morning and took extra care covering the floor to protect the wood from the scaffolding. They had both skylights installed by early afternoon and took extra care to insure the casings around the hole were finished for painting. Turns out the job t… See more

We had leaks in our skylight. Daylight solutions came out quickly to diagnose the problem. He had the best pricing of the 3 quotes we received. He is very knowledgeable in skylights and products that he sells. We liked the warranties offered as well. He cleaned up well and our new skylights are functioning well! Highly recommend this company!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daylight Solutions in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and I must say that my experience was fantastic from start to finish. The team at Daylight Solutions provided excellent customer service and a high-quality installation that exceeded my expectations. My experience with Daylight Solutions began when I contacted them for a quote on a skylight installation in my home. From the first phone call, the team was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were able to provide me with a detailed estimate quickly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. On the day of the installation, the team arrived on time and were incredibly professional. They took great care to protect my home and belongings during the installation process, and they were respectful and courteous throughout the entire project. The team worked efficiently and completed the installation in a timely manner, leaving my home looking even better than it did before they arrived. The skylight that Daylight Solutions installed is absolutely stunning. It has transformed my living space by flooding the room with natural light, and it looks like it was always meant to be a part of my home. The quality of the skylight and the installation is exceptional, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. Overall, my experience with Daylight Solutions was excellent. Their customer service was top-notch, and the installation process was smooth and professional. I would highly recommend Daylight Solutions to anyone looking for high-quality skylight installations or other daylighting solutions. They are a truly exceptional company that takes great pride in their work and the satisfaction of their customers.

We just had a skylight installed by Daylight Solutions this week. They did an amazing job! They were very responsive when we contacted them for information on the installation and followed through from the initial consultation to completion. A couple weeks ago we had our roof redone to replace the shingles on our roof and the roofer stopped by today for payment. He took a look at the skylight and said Daylight Solutions did a quality job. We highly recommend them and will gladly hire them again if we decide to add anymore VELUX windows.

Contracted in November for eight replacement skylights. We live more than hour from Travelers Rest, but Chris came up to give us a quote. He was so knowledgeable and explained everything we needed to know. Then winter set in and with rain, snow, freezing, and wind, there was not a day they could install until early March. Chris and his crew came up and got it all done in one day. Roof looks as if it has not been touched. This is a company you can trust! Also, we had an estimate from another company that was slightly less but seemed not as reliable. We are so glad we went with Daylight Solutions!

We called Daylight Solutions a few weeks ago and Chris , the owner, responded to our call right away. We set a date and time for him to come out and give us an estimate. Prior to arrival, Chris texted us and said he would be to our home within 20 minutes. Right away, we liked the way he worked…RELIABLE. During our estimate appointment, Chris gave us his professional opinions and suggestions. This is something we really appreciated as we had never had Sun Tunnels before. On the day of installation, Chris showed up with his team on time and prepared. They took great care in making sure our furniture and rugs was covered before the installation process began. However let me just say, the installation was MUCH less messy than I could have ever anticipated. The installation went without a hitch and 4 Sun Tunnels were installed in our home in just a matter of a few hours. Wow! What a difference the Sun Tunnels made in our home! We loved working with a locally owned and operated company that is so responsible. This is a company that truly cares about their customers and the reputation they are making with each installation. In our opinion, Daylight Solutions is the ONLY company to consider for sun tun installations.

This is our second time having Sun Tunnels installed by Daylight Solutions, and as before it was a great experience. The installers were quiet and respectful of protecting the surrounding areas, and left things clean. As before, the end result is excellent and adds a LOT more light to a room that had very little. I look forward to working with Daylight Solutions again on an addition in the near future.
