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 Snook Skylights and Roofing Inc. 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

    Snook Skylights just installed a new 6’x6’ dome skylight to replace a deteriorating one. Excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

    I recently moved into a house built in the 80s, and quickly realized no updates had been done. The windows, including skylights were all original, and not well maintained. In my efforts to find a company to replace all windows, it became obvious that very few companies are willing to replace skylights. Luckily, I happened to stumble upon Snook Skylights, and I am so glad! Jeff was exceptional. From evaluating the skylights, giving me options (they were PVC, so well past needing replacing, but if they had been glass, other cheaper options were available), to providing a quote, Jeff was professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. His quote was cost effective and a no-brainer. He even provided me with information on federal rebates. When it came time to installation, he was even able to identify the reason the skylight was leaking and help fix it. I will 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone. I would say he is the best vendor I have met since moving up here (and I've met with Bonney, Sierra, etc).

    Jeff and his assistant installed five new Velux skylights and shades for us. This required removal of the old skylights, building up the skylight edging on the roof, and painting, texturing and caulking on the inside. Jeff was very conscientious and meticulous about detail on each installation. They carefully cleaned up inside the house at the end of each work day. We are thrilled with their work and would highly recommend them, without reservation. Glad we found this business!
