Add Natural Light Indoors
The Roofing Company provides VELUX skylight installation and VELUX skylight replacement services throughout the Tampa Bay area. Whether you are adding a new skylight to your home or replacing an aging unit, we can help!
As Florida Certified Roofing Contractors, we install VELUX skylights using flashing systems that are roof pitch specific to maintain long term weather resistance in Florida conditions. Every skylight project begins with a roof evaluation, where our licensed technicians will review roof slope, roofing material, attic access, and structural framing to ensure the skylight system integrates properly with the existing roof assembly. From there, we help homeowners determine the right skylight solution and placement based on the space, lighting goals, and ventilation needs.
VELUX Skylight Installation and Replacement
The Roofing Company installs new VELUX skylights and replaces aging skylight units throughout the Tampa Bay area. New skylight installation is ideal when you want to introduce natural daylight into a space that does not currently have one. Skylight placement, roof orientation, and shaft depth all influence how light enters the room and how evenly it spreads throughout the space.
Skylight replacement is recommended when an existing unit is leaking, fogging, or showing visible deterioration. Many skylight issues are caused by aging seals, flashing failures, or improper installation rather than the glass itself. Replacing an older unit with a new VELUX skylight allows for updated flashing systems and proper integration with modern underlayment materials, helping reduce the risk of future moisture intrusion.
VELUX Sun Tunnel® Installation
VELUX Sun Tunnel® is a great option when you want to add natural light to an interior space, but a traditional skylight isn’t practical, either due to roof framing or attic constraints. Because the roof opening is smaller than a standard skylight, installation is often possible in areas where framing or mechanical systems limit larger skylight placement. Sun tunnels are commonly installed in hallways, closets, laundry rooms, and interior bathrooms to add natural daylight with a small footprint.
VELUX Sun Tunnel® systems are available in rigid and flexible configurations depending on attic layout. A ceiling diffuser spreads daylight evenly throughout the room for consistent illumination. The Roofing Company offers certified installation of Sun Tunnels, ensuring roof pitch specific flashing and proper underlayment integration to help maintain long term weather resistance.
VELUX Skylight Options
The Roofing Company installs venting skylights, fixed skylights, sun tunnels, and flat roof skylights with certified technicians who are licensed and insured.
VELUX Fresh Air Skylights
Solar and Electric Options
VELUX Fresh Air skylights provide both natural daylight and airflow, and are available in solar, electric, and manual options. These operable skylights can be opened to bring fresh air into the home while maintaining a weather tight seal when closed, or to vent out trapped heat and humidity. These skylights are commonly installed in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, and rooms with high ceilings where warm air and moisture tend to build up. Some venting models include integrated rain response features designed to help protect the interior when weather conditions change. Venting skylights offer a balance of daylight and controlled airflow in residential roof applications.

VELUX Fixed Skylight Systems
VELUX Fixed skylights are often selected when the primary goal is increasing natural light in living rooms, stairwells, and vaulted ceilings where ventilation is already handled through other systems. Fixed skylights provide a clean, low profile daylighting solution that many homeowners prefer for long term simplicity while still gaining the benefits of overhead natural light. These skylights use insulated glass assemblies engineered to resist heat transfer and help filter ultraviolet light. In Florida homes, this helps reduce fading of interior finishes caused by direct sun exposure. Fixed skylights provide consistent daylight while maintaining strong weather resistance.
VELUX Sun Tunnel Skylights
VELUX Sun Tunnel® skylights are designed to bring natural light into smaller interior spaces without requiring the larger roof opening of a traditional skylight. They capture daylight at the roof and channel it through a reflective tunnel to a ceiling diffuser below, which helps distribute light evenly throughout the room. Sun Tunnels are well suited for hallways, closets, interior bathrooms, and laundry rooms where vertical windows are not available. They are often used when attic conditions, framing, or mechanical obstructions make standard skylight installation impractical. Sun tunnels are available in rigid and flexible configurations. Rigid systems are installed when a straight path from roof to ceiling is possible. Flexible systems allow routing around framing or mechanical obstructions. In both cases, the diffuser helps create consistent illumination without harsh glare.
VELUX Flat Roof Skylights
VELUX flat roof skylights are engineered for flat and low slope roof surfaces and use raised curb mounting and sealed glazing to manage water exposure on roofs that don’t shed water as quickly. Flat roof skylights are commonly installed on modern homes, additions, and low slope roof sections where a standard deck mounted skylight is not appropriate. Elevating the skylight above the roof surface helps reduce the risk of standing water around the frame and improves long term weather performance. In Florida installations, impact resistant glazing is an important consideration due to wind driven rain and storm exposure. Flat roof skylights provide reliable daylight while supporting long term roof performance when installed with proper curb height, flashing, and underlayment integration.

Skylight Installation by Licensed Roofers
In Florida, skylight performance depends on both the skylight system and the quality of the installation. Proper flashing, underlayment integration, and water shedding design are essential for long term leak resistance, especially during heavy rain and wind driven storms. The Roofing Company installs VELUX skylights using manufacturer approved flashing systems matched to the roof’s slope and material. This helps manage water flow around the skylight opening and supports reliable performance over time. Florida weather also includes prolonged heat and humidity, which can place additional stress on roof penetrations and sealing details. Interior finishing plays an important role as well. Skylight shafts should be properly built and sealed to control air movement and reduce the risk of moisture related issues.
Installation Process
- Our team will evaluate the roof, including slope, roofing material, attic access, and structural framing to confirm placement and ensure the skylight integrates properly with the roof assembly.
- We’ll work with you to determine skylight sizing and placement
- We’ll take all necessary measurements to ensure a correct fit, and prepare the rough opening in the roof at the correct location.
- We’ll lay and secure underlayment and weather barrier materials, and then install the manufacturer-approved VELUX flashing system to help shed water effectively around the skylight opening.
- We’ll complete interior finishing work, including ceiling opening trim, drywall or shaft construction if needed, and sealing to help control air movement and moisture.
- A final inspection is performed including a water test to confirm proper installation and weather resistance.
