What is a VELUX Certified Installer?

Short Answer

A VELUX Certified Installer is a contractor who has completed VELUX's installation training program for their skylight and roof window products. Certified installers have been trained in VELUX's specific installation methods, flashing requirements, and product specifications, and can offer enhanced warranty options on VELUX products. Veterans Roofing is a VELUX Certified Installer.

Detailed Explanation

VELUX is the world's leading manufacturer of skylights and roof windows, and their Certified Installer program ensures that contractors installing VELUX products have been trained in the proper installation methods. The certification involves training on VELUX's product lineup, flashing systems, installation requirements, and warranty programs. When a VELUX Certified Installer installs VELUX skylights, the homeowner may be eligible for enhanced warranty coverage that is not available through non-certified installers. The certification also ensures that the installer understands the specific flashing requirements for different VELUX products and roofing materials — VELUX offers different flashing kits for different roof types (shingle, tile, metal, low-slope), and using the correct flashing is critical for preventing leaks. Veterans Roofing holds VELUX Certified Installer status, meaning we can offer VELUX's enhanced warranty options and have been trained in their installation methods. For homeowners considering skylight replacement — especially during a roof replacement — using a VELUX Certified Installer ensures the skylight is properly integrated with the new roofing system and qualifies for the strongest available warranty coverage.
