Ask any roofer where skylight leaks actually come from, and the answer is almost never the skylight itself — it's the flashing kit around it. Velux, the skylight brand most roofers and architects default to, certifies installers specifically to close that gap.
United Veterans Roofing is a Velux Certified Installer serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Here's what that means if a skylight is part of your project.
Flashing Is the Whole Job
A skylight is only as watertight as the flashing kit sealing it into your roof deck, and that installation has to be matched to your specific roofing material — asphalt shingle, metal, tile — each requiring a different approach. Velux certification means we're trained on the manufacturer's exact flashing specifications rather than improvising a fit.Better Warranty Protection
Velux's "No Leak" promise on its skylights is tied to certified installation. That's not a coincidence — the company is confident enough in its own flashing systems, installed correctly, to guarantee the result. That guarantee only holds when the install matches their spec.Solar-Powered and Smart Skylight Options
Certified installers are trained across Velux's full current lineup, including solar-powered fresh-air skylights and blinds that operate via app or sensor. If you're adding natural light to a room that's never had it, we can walk you through what actually fits your roofline before you commit to a size or placement.Right the First Time
A skylight is a hole cut deliberately into your roof. Getting the flashing wrong doesn't show up as a problem until the first hard rain — sometimes not until months later, once it's already caused interior damage. Certification is Velux's way of putting a name behind installers who get it right before that ever happens.
