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 Wisconsin Sunlight Solutions, LLC - Milwaukee 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.

    I usually don't write reviews, but when customer service is outstanding I feel a need to let everyone know to go with this company if you need skylights. From the first phone call with Jenny and the estimate visit with John and Josh, I felt I was in capable hands. They were professional, courteous and had an attention to detail. Never before have I had workman in my house and not had to do a thing when they left! Very clean and a job well done. I am beyond pleased with their work, they set an example for what customer service should be.

    Customer Service is great. Installation and workmanship was great. They go above and beyond to make sure that these are installed correctly and will not leak. If you need or want skylights added, but are worried about future leaking, you can be confident in Velux windows installed by Wisconsin Sunlight Solutions. If mine leak, I am confident it will be due to manufacturers defect, not the installation.

    I recently replaced 4 older Velux skylights with newer ones through Wisconsin Sunlight Solutions and their attention to detail is amazing! The guys did a quality install and left the place spotless. I even got a nice hands-on lesson with the new technology features and wi-fi control of the skylights. Highly recommend! After getting quotes and meeting with 3 other companies, WSS is the only one that didn't feel like a salesman, and felt more like a problem solver, not to mention the best price!!! Thanks guys!
