It has been pointed out that at the 18:13 mark I explained the sealing at the top of the window completely opposite of what it should be. The house wrap along the top should be the layer you see when done. Seal it to the membrane. Watch this video fro a better example. th-cam.com/video/dC3_0srY0Rs/w-d-xo.html
Great information and demonstration. Slightly slanting the bottom board of your rough opening by 1/8 of an inch was a great idea. Water follows the path of least resistance so it's running off and down the siding rather then seeping and soaking in the wood. The membrane is an added protection to the wood. Not completely sealing the bottom part of the window with silicone bead is added protection just in case water should find a way behind the window it can still run back out. Very good video well explained.
I just bought a house last year, I've always been fairly handy with electronics and cars, but little with home improvements. Your videos are great and a big help to people who want to see someone doing something right, and explaining it well as they go. Thanks again, you've been a huge help
Thanks Shannon! Between this and your "how to frame in a window" video, you've shown me all I need to be successful in adding a window to the attic in my 80 year old farm house.
Excellent. I just did the first three windows in my new construction, almost exactly as you did. The top is the only difference, though minor. You mentioned the house wrap laid down first, then the membrane applied. I layed the membrane first, overlapped with the housewrap. Then using tape, seal the wrap down. Just another flap of protection.
Thanks Shannon. Great advice and very helpful for a beginner like me. I used your method on 3 windows I installed into a block wall shed after framing the openings. On the last 2 I added a metal drip flange above the window and covered the vertical part with another layer of sealing tape. Thanks again.
good job - i've been a contractor for 18 years and just installed 2 windows after not having done it for ten years. Your method is the same as mine although I used no silicone on the bottom flange. Great vid to reinforce I still remember things!
FANTASTIC!! Thanks for the great instructional video!! I cut a hole in the house & installed my first window following your instructions. So easy & simple when doing it right.
You make everything so easy to follow, I am building a small 16'x20' cabin up north and before I do stuff, install doors windows, insulation house wrap I first check your videos to help me do what I have to do. Keep up the great work !
Sure appreciate your time showing us the proper way to install a window. I watched this because I had windows installed and wanted to make sure it was done properly. Sure helped a lot having the knowledge. Thank you 😊
This is THEE BEST video presentation I have ever watched. Nice lighting, can see wherever you point or are talking about, not dead time or windblowing on microphone. REALLY appreciated your presentation, process, products and concept. Gave me the courage to attempt 1 or 2 for my beginning experience. Trying to find how/where to buy less than 100 RedZone corner guards. I want to use THEM as you directed because you can cut them to size. Considered Lightening Flash corners, but trying to pursue Resisto RedZone corner guards. THanks for such a fine presentation. We novices can really learn and emmulate your "simple" process so clearly demonstrated.
+Dean Nezerka I have seen techniques where instead of the corner guards, you just use the same peel and stick membrane- trim an 8 inch piece, and stick it at the bottom corners, folding half its width onto the sill, and the other half it's width onto the edge. You also have to overlap it 4 inches from the sill so that the other 4 inches stick out off of the exterior wall face. THEN you trim the membrane overlapping the wall face at a diagonal so that you can tightly fold it ONTO the wall face.
I have just taken the time to watch a few of these and this gentleman is one of the best teachers and the best quality videos for DIY that I've come across. It helps cities Canadian because he's speaking my language ;-). Thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to put these together. I have more confidence now in doing a project myself.
As always I find your videos very helpful. You’re great at explaining concepts and are extremely quality oriented. Thanks for taking the time to put together these great instructional videos.
this guy aint fukin around! quality work is not expensive, its priceless. thanks for these great videos. im ready to hit a home run now with my repairs.
This is exactly what I wanted to see. Great video, very detailed, clear, price and nice pace to it. Appreciate it for documenting and sharing!!!. You earned a subscriber!!!
The corner protectors would seal better if you install them after the flashing, and on your bottom flashing, if you don’t have house wrap yet if you don’t peel off the paper and just throw a couple staples and when you do install house wrap you are able to lift the flashing and tape it over the house wrap, thanks for the videos!
Here's a tip for anyone reading comments, don't use a level. Let me now clarify. In the case of this window installation, where it appears to be approx. 6 inches from the soffit, a level window may not actually follow the long horizontal line of the soffit. This can make the window appear to be tilted when viewed from outside of the home. I use to install siding and ran into this issue many times. Aesthetically, you want to the window to "appear" level, not necessarily be level. Being that the long line of the soffit is very close to the window, I would use it as the reference to measure from, making each side of the window the exact distance down from the soffit. Inside the home you needn't worry so much about it as distances from the ceiling can be "corrected" visually with the trim that is installed around the window, giving the appearance of a level window. A window with no close horizontal references (in the middle a large wall with a gabled roof for example) I would certainly use a level. Obviously, discretion must be left to the installer. This is just my experience. As a note, if both sides of the window are the same distance from the soffit, it makes the siding piece that goes over the window easier to rip for installation as well. One more thing, I was always told to use 16 brights for installation (nails) for their grip strength on door and window installations. You don't want your nails backing out. I'm not sure if that's code, or just my inspectors preference, but tiny roofing nails would be frowned upon in my neck of the woods. Nicely done otherwise, and I appreciate the effort made for a quality video!
If you don't level your window it can be inoperable. When the sill is out of level that bad you should adjust with shims (if space allows) or call a pro to do some minimally invasive framing work.
I agree with everything you said except for the roofing nails. I've pulled out plenty of windows that were a giant pain in the ass to pull out that used 1½" roofing nails. Also, if the depth/ throat of the window is not as thick as the wall it's better to make sure your reveal on the inside is even rather than making sure it's level
My company installed for three Lowes stores for 27 years. It sucks when something like a soffit made a level window look crooked. We always choose to level and plumb our installs, usually with a laser on tripod. Seems like overkill but if there was ever an issue the manufacturer reps would throw us under the bus if it was a fraction out of level. Most of our installs were impact single hung that didn’t allow any grace to work correctly. Choose your battles.
I enjoy watching someone doing it right! Why didn't you use truss head screws, as you did in other videos? Do you have a preference? Why? Thank you for your time and consideration for others!
@@HouseImprovements I've watched you for years and you've helped me on countless DIY projects. Whether it was working on a heater system, soldering, and now door installation you've got the touch, man! Thank you very much!
Your the man I always love your videos I'm looking to have to resheet outside of a enclosed porch with new windows drywall an wireing an this is super helpful I love your work guy an videos
Great video. Thx for pointing out that some windows have a built in J channel. I didnt know that. Im going to be installing a similar window and siding n my shed so the timing of your video was perfect.
Seems that my shed window will take longer than normal to be delivered due to Covid. I wonder if its ok to install my soffits and fascia before installing the siding. Then I would butt the siding up to the fascia using a finish trim. This will allow me to get some work done while waiting for my window. My original plan was to install the siding first then install the fascia J trim over top. Any suggestions or recommendations.
I have watched about seven of these installation videos on TH-cam now and this is the first video I've seen that no tape was put down both sides of the window before the window was installed on the rough opening
Love your videos Shannon! I'm on your forum as well and find it very helpful. Can't believe you have to time to answer all the questions you get on the forums a busy as you are. Old adage.."if you want it done right.. ask a busy man to do it" ;)
I have 2 widnows nailed in behnd stucco. I am going to attempt th easiest one first. When attempting to get a couple estimates on 2 windows I need right now. Both as naied behind stucco, so I guess I am confused on how to measure it. Thank you for any help..... Im using your exterior garage door video also. you rock and are ery helpful.
Just bought some of the Resisto membrane the other day for some windows I was installing, noticed it now has a plastic backing instead of the brown paper which is nice because it comes off clean without ripping.
Dupont makes a peel and stick tape that uses butyl instead of asphalt based adhesive. Always check for comparability. One complaint above was silicone cracking. With asphalt based peel and stick the silicone never sets up correctly. It's on the label. Also eliminates need for primer.
Hey Shannon! Appreciate the videos very much. At the 18:20 mark you mentioned having the house wrap down then the adhesive paper over the top of that. Not sure if i am understanding that part correctly. Thank you so much for the help with your great videos!!
Hello Shannon, Always I really do very much spiritually appreciated your tutorial DIY projects. I couldn't find someone to installed 5 windows downstairs without trying to rob me without a pistol. So DIY came into play. Your windows are the same that I purchased from a window wholesaler that saved me quite a bit of money. Champion was attempting to charge me over 5 grand for these windows. Instead of using nails I decided to utilize construction screws which in my opinion has better holding power. I don't have any membrane material or the corner plastic I saw in your video. I am going to home depot to purchase them. The replacement windows are double-paned and let down on the inside. I love them. The old windows are one pane and not energy appropriated. Once again Shannon keep up good work and I will continue to watch your tutorial videos. Hey, do you have a video on removal and installation of a fireplace? Take care of yourself and family. Be safe and practice social distance. Peace and Love In Yahshua Messiah, RE Morgan
Great presentation! Now I see why all of my new windows leak so bad~ the carpenters did none of this! I have a huge mess now. All but 3 windows in my house leak so bad!
I am planning to replace single glazed windows in my house. How do I measure the olde windows they are in the brick wall outside side. Can you please post some guidance on that part. I do watch the program you post time permitted. I will appreciate it Thank you 🙏🏻
You need to tape that bottom flange and barricade the water at the exterior. If you leave that flange untaped in a high wind/ driving rain climate like a coastal situation, the negative pressure of the house will suck water up and in like a vacuum and it will drip down the interior of the wall.

I'd recommend using plastic or scrap pvc for shims, they won't absorb moisture.

Great video, thanks for the very thoughtful breakdown of the steps.
What about flashing above the window? Drip edge
Use a z bar flashing above the window
Thank you for the video Shannon great job
You need to tape that bottom flange and barricade the water at the exterior. If you leave that flange untaped in a high wind/ driving rain climate like a coastal situation, the negative pressure of the house will suck water up and in like a vacuum and it will drip down the interior of the wall.
