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

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!

Jeff and Austin came by and did an excellent job fixing and cleaning my Velux Sun Tunnels. They were friendly, knowledgeable and provided top notch service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing service for their skylights.

The whole team at Snook Skylights was great from beginning to end! the original 90’s skylight for our house was cracked and leaked during this previous storm so we needed a replacement. Every other roofing company was booked months in advance for just an estimate. One call to the Snook Skylight office and we had a quote along with skylight options to choose from. Jeff had our size skylight ready and available and made time a few days after our phone call to come out and replace our skylight with a new one! The light in our house is so much better and we really appreciate the team for going above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone looking to install or replace skylights in their home.

Installed two skylights in my ADU. They were amazing in every way. Highly recommend people like them that do what they promise and go the extra mile.

Jeff installed a new skylight with a blind in my home. His workmanship, attention to detail, professionalism, and knowledge exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and outstanding results.

Had a hard time finding someone to work on our metal roof and so glad we found Jeff. We bought our home in June and it was dark like a cave..... We had Jeff and Michael install a new skylight in our bedroom, a Sun Tunnel in the hall, and replaced two older skylights in the family room. WOW what a difference! I keep thinking I left the hall light on. They were super clean, professional, and did an excellent job! If we need/want more skylights we will definitely be calling them back!
