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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqljkpOk17-Ugqc.html

Your videos are the only ones that are calm, actually step by step and helpful, no ads, no ego. Thank you.

Why didn't I find this guy earlier!! Would have saved me a TON of time. Well done, sir.

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.

Probably one of the very best "How To" videos I've ever seen.... Every detail with an explanation for each one. Thank you

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 !

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.

Great video. You had many more protective steps than some other videos where they didn't check levels, didn't use the butyl flashing, etc.

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 😊

You just saved me over a $1000. DYi is where its at.

I'm finally replacing my windows (71 vintage) with new windows of this style. This is an excellent explanation of the process.

Good job! I was interested business 40 years. I can't believe how many builders get this wrong!

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.

Fantastic video! I feel ready to install my first flange window, which will be done within the hour! Thanks!

Thanks! This has been real helpful as about to go install a window right now. House wrap is on so appreciate you mentioning those extra tips!

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.

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.

Thank you, going to attempt installing a 2x2 window myself... Excellent explanation of the installation!

Shannon you are the best. i have used your videos for years for several projects. thanks for making things easy to understand. you're the bomb!!!

Beautiful work, I added a dozen of these vids to my favorites, making our dream house perfect. thank you Shannon!

You’re great at explaining every little thing. Really appreciate your videos.

Lot of respect to the man in the video. He knows his job and is very good at it. God bless you and your working hands for years on.

Thank you for the fine, well presented demo. It helped me a lot. I’m doing my first window replacement. I’m sure I’ll be back. Rob Scott

Great video. Thanks guys. Love your stuff!!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. The video was very helpful, full of information and very step by step detailed.

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" ;)

Good point about not taking the housewrap into the sides of the opening.

i wached a lot videos about windows flashing, but this guy is the top one, this corners at the botton Wow is the best thing i see for this job 👍🏼👍🏼

Appreciate the many helpful videos you have provided over the years. Detailed and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this great video, lots of people post but don't take the time to explain the way you do.

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.

This video helps just got a window job and will Do you tube videos on it

Excellent teacher. Thanks from a beginner.

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!

Very nice job and simple explanation. Doesn't seem like rocket science.

Thanks for the short and precise instructions (no blah blah blah as so many others)

You're awesome thank you! Looking to replace my door with a fixed or double hung window, this is going to help alot!

My partner and I are building our own house and are fairly clueless. Your videos have been a tremendous resource. Thank you!

I found your video very helpful…I’m a do it yourself woman and this was great…thanks👍

Always enjoy Shannon's videos

Great video and straight forward. Replacing all windows in my house with these type of windows.

I don’t understand how would anyone disliked this video !! Great help thanks.

This is THEE BEST video presentation I have ever watched

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!

Great video. I'm installing my windows today

Thank you 🎉you’re a great instructor

great video!!! This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much!!!

Hello, thanks for the video, I'm wondering though, once the smaller window is in, how do I match the exterior vinyl covering so it is seemless with the rest of the house? Do you have a video about that? Thanks in advance

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!

Thanks for sharing! I like how you show the details and explain what you are doing and why. I don't think you ever explained how you were going to slope the window sill or how to slope it, though. Do you have any videos showing how to put a single-hung replacement window in for a shower? I'm wondering what would need to be done differently. I know generally the window sills slope downward to the exterior to allow rain and such to drip out, but in a shower, the slope needs to be on the interior toward the shower to keep water from pooling. I need to replace a window in a bathroom (that will be inside of a shower) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about it, without having to mess with the exterior vinyl siding too much. I'm going to replace some of the wood framing with PVC board and I'll have the walls completely opened up on the inside.

very good demo for Windows

Thank you, very helpful video.

Excellent teaching tools....

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.

Great job. I wish I could do this to my home

This is the man right here...💪😎👍

Thank you Shannon for the video, I learned something different today.

Great job! Thank you so being so thorough and keeping the pace reasonable for compression. Subscribing 🙂
