Who Installs VELUX Skylights?
VELUX skylights can be installed either by a roofing company, a dedicated skylight installation company, or a certified contractor. The best option is to use a company that deals solely with skylight installations as they are certified by the manufacturer and can complete any complex installation. While you can also install skylights yourself, roofers, skylight installers, and contractors have typically undergone specific training to install your skylights.
Skylight Installers
A skylight installer is a company dedicated to skylight installations. This kind of company will complete full-service projects ranging from a single skylight installation to more complex skylight jobs. They have likely received certifications exclusively for installing skylights and have the knowledge to assist in any skylight project you may have. They can also give good design tips before your installation.

Roofers and Certified Contractors
Roofing companies and certified contractors that specialize in a variety of roofing and home-building projects may also be certified to install skylights. They are great options for skylight installation in locations without dedicated skylight installation companies.
Who Should Install My VELUX Skylight?
Depending on where you live, you may have many options for who can install your new VELUX skylights. So, how do you decide which option is the best? We recommend researching local skylight installers, roofers, and certified contractors, including reading their reviews, to ensure you find the best match for your installation.
Should I DIY My VELUX Skylight Installation?
While possible, installing skylights yourself is not an easy task. Since advanced roofing and carpentry skills are needed for new skylight cut-ins, we generally do not recommend installing your own skylights. The best way to ensure that your skylight is weathertight, meets all your local building codes, and qualifies for the manufacturer’s warranty in case anything goes wrong during or post-installation is to leave your skylight installation to the professionals.
