This is what I call a perfect instructional video. The carpenter explains each component’s function with absolute clarity. I know a gem when I see one. Thank you for this video. 🙏

Love this book! kzfaq.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

It’s such a pleasure to watch a well-prepared presentation by a professional who cares about quality work. Thanks a million.

Ten years on and still (when using the technique on the right side of the window) one of the best videos on creating a highly water resistant window installation.

This guy is amazing. Best install I’ve ever seen. Triple water protection. Smart as a whip this guy!!!

I watch a ton of videos and I promise this is the best most concise video that made so much sense I’m trying to figure out how I didn’t already know! Awesome video, instant training resource!

The most comprehensive window installation video I have ever seen. 11 out of 10 !!!

Been watching a lot of videos on window installation. Anyone can figure it out but to do it right takes knowledge and experience. And if not done right you'll just cause yourself more problems in the future. Roofing, siding, windows and doors are meant to keep the elements out (obviously) but if not done right you'll just introduce elements to the framing of the house and will slowly rot and cause havoc and money. Great video, best one I've seen on window installation. Great channel.

The best video I have seen installing a widow. And I have watched quite a few. Explain everything great!!!

what a great video, even 8 years later. wasn't sure about the house wrap with the new build i am doing and this explained it perfectly. thank you. hope you're doing well here in the end of 2021

I've seen dozens of videos now online of people flashing windows horribly, and this is the first time I've seen a guy and I *know* he knows what he's talking about because he explains in excellent simplicity exactly why each thing is done that way.

Great video. It best to learn from a pro. I'm having a home built and this is the kind of videos I learn from. Good job Rick!

Hands down, one of the best videos demonstrating a proper, water tight, window instalation.

This was the best video on how to install a window that I have seen. Well done, good simple instructions and sensible explanations. So glad I watched it.

This is the best video I've seen on window installation. Thank you so very much!!!

Excellent instruction and detail. I need to pull the doors and trim off my shop to fix a leak. This helped me figure out what I did wrong.

Excellent explanation, not only how to do it, but more importantly WHY.......great job, best vid on window install yet. Thank you

Outstanding. Watched a few other window installation videos before this and was flabbergasted at the complete lack of knowledge and skill as well as improper installations. This is absolutely perfect. Exceptional instructional video.

This is fantastic. This man is a pro and everything he did and said makes perfect sense. Well done

Seriously, how does this video get 33 down votes?!?! This is absolutely the correct and proper way to install and flash a new construction window

Whelp, best demonstration video I've watched over the last 3 hours.

I would like to thank Rick Arnold for educating me in installing a window the correct way. I fully agree with others here that this is the proper way of doing a proper job. Wish all our contractors were as dedicated to their work as Rick.

Excellent video, so professional and no distracting music, the best I have seen by far, thank you!

Thanks so much Rick, I've always wanted to know how to do this the correct way, and your video is spot on. I've had some high wind and rain hitting in my windows and this technique is fantastic. Thanks again.

This one of the best instructional videos on KZfaq of how to properly install and flash a window.

Thank you! This is the best new window installation video I have found. So grateful for coming across it!

One of the best window flashing systems. Top job. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Valuable Window install instruction. Thank you. Cliff

That was fantastic and well spoken .... I learned more from this video then any other .... Well done.

Nice video thanks. This is probably the most complete video I’ve seen. Attention to details such as overlapping the gap on the sides with the tape and adding a bead of sealant before adding the drip pan.

This video is over 7 years old, BUT!! To this very day, this video is the BEST in its field, bar none! Great job!!

Thank you for a video. I think this is the best instructional video on window install on the net. "Professionals" that installed windows in my house never water proved the frame/window. Video super helpful!

Excellent work Rick. Nice video

Thank you...thank YOU. It is great to see new products which makes sense and how they are being used.

What a superb video. Very well done indeed. I'm very grateful.

Professional, succinct, easy to follow and extremely helpful. I hired a brother-in-law to replace all of my windows in 2007...huge mistake.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST AND MOST CORRECT WAY TO PROPERLY FLASH WINDOWS. THANKS FOR THE ILLUSTRATION

The detailed information and the explanation of those details are very helpful. Thanks for posting this instructional video. It will help me on my backyard shed project.

I just installed 3 windows & have 12 more to go, at least now I will have 12 windows right! This is a great "How To" video, thank you very much!

Awesome skills,thanx for your time ,its always nice to see someone do a proper job!

There it is ! No more secrets, explains the waterfall effect and venting , sealing, I call this TOP NOTCH !!!! Great job...tell me more !

Thank you for the video. I found this very useful. I will be able to install my windows in my remodel with confidence.

Refreshing to see it being done correctly, don't see this as much as you used too.... Great Job!

Very good job! I anticipate having to replace some windows on a new construction home. The windows are Anderson Silverline. Told not very good. This approach will leave me with peace of mind. Thanks

Thank you! Excellent....Most installers are always in such a rush and don't really care about a proper installation.... Well Done!

Truly gets it! Only a few like you. Keep up the good work.

Most Helpful....I'm replacing a French Door with a window....and wanted to make sure I install, insulate and seal it properly. Very easy to understand. Thanks!

Thanks for posting. I’m a diy-er, so this is a huge help. I was about to make a series of mistakes! 😳

- This is the best window installation video I’ve found yet.

Great Work Mr Arnold!

Excellent demonstration!!

Well done. I want to see more of his videos. Great explanations. A real pro! Thank you.

Holy CRAP. That was possibly the best demonstrated, best explained, and best lit(because that matters too) window installation video I've seen. KUDOS. There are some comments I've read that are critical or offer alternatives, and that's great help to make everyone better and more informed. Sharing a link in a comment to that alternative video would be helpful to all. We all get better together. That's how dad did it. That's how NASA does it. And, it's worked out pretty well so far. (Tony Stark omaj)

Outstanding Video! Very informative!

Excellent educational video on the proper way for window installation. Great job and thank you

Finally someone that know how to do it. I’ve watched a dozen guys that say their way is best and all were not totally right. I prefer the way you did it on the right side. No way for water under the fabric to wick around and into the house or onto the wood frames.

Hey Rick, I know this video has been out for quite sometime but I REALLY appreciate you sharing your expertise. I have now confidently put in 3 windows while carefully following your instructions. I have saved this video for review every time I begin to replace a window. The video is very well done and appreciate all the step-by-step tips and comparison of different methods. Thanks again! Jeff-Seattle/Tacoma, WA

Watched a dozen installation vids, this is by far, the best. Thank you, brother. MERRY Christmas/Happy and Healthy New Year

thank you... best video on the subject...

Thank you! Mine will be (4) 2x3 shed window installations. The drawing sure falls short of these details. KZfaq is my how to go to! I'll now be able to do a better installation.

Amazing work, thanks for posting,

Windows done this way will never have a leak. Sure, there are different ways of doing things that may be just as good, but I'd be giving this guy a pretty nice tip at the end of the job.

THANK YOU RICK. GOOD VIDEO. Excellent info.

I'm looking for a company to replace 9 windows and this is a good video to save so when the time comes I can make sure the company does the installation this way. I'm glad we have consumer complaint pages on line now I think it really helps.

Best Video Ever! Thank You!

Best video I’ve watch so far! Thank you

One thing I would add is a horizontal piece of quality tar paper across the bottom before starting this process. As he discribes you always want to direct water away. With this piece at the bottom you can direct any water coming down the sides of the window between the window and trim/siding, out over the siding below, and trim off what shows after the siding is installed. It’s not as easy with vinyl siding, but can be done. I’m not a fan of house wraps, since it covers the whole wall from top to bottom, and when siding multiple holes will penetrate through leaving a spot for water to eventually get in. I have always been a firm believer of installing siding paper/house wrap in stages and have it come out over the top of the siding, overlapping the siding and paper/wrap. This directs water away. Siding is not water proof, and will always find a way in, but the more you can do to direct water away helps. Also lessons the chance of water damage/rot to the sheathing and framing later on.

Great video! Clearly, he's an expert with 30 years of experience

Dear sir, can you give me the name of the sealer that you use to install the window? Thanks

Can you tell me if I can install a window slider that is 5'x 40" on on a sun porch. I have 4 windows to install. I got these windows as new construction. I have 23 feet across the sun porch to work with. I brought these windows with out a nailing flange. What will I need to do the same job you are doing. I',m working on the second floor. My height is almost 10 ft. Because its on the weather side, would I need treated lumber for the framing and would I use 2x4's or 2x6's. Thanks, I hope you reply to me.

Thank you Rick your videos are awesome,

Great video. It Helped me a lot to learn how to water seal my leaky windows.

Thank you, sir! I feel much more confident to be installing my windows now. This was extremely helpful and well done.

I forgot to say thank you for posting. Good how-to vid.

Tip of the hat to you Rick! I'm ready for my install now!

Thank you, we are redoing our window using this tutorial. Perfect! Much appreciated 👍

This was very helpful. Thank you!

More very thorough instructional videos like this please.

I like the way you talk, very clear, thank you

Nice work on the brake i must admit the oil ports. Confused me at first as i was wondering why you. Were. Putting counter screws in the middle of a hinge originally. Looks like you got pretty good bends and that was one of the best waterproofing. Ive seen i did residential construction for a few years, and some renovation work its amazing how many crappy flashing jobs. Have been done on windows that eventually lead to mold and lots of rot as well as the water usually attracted termites that ive seen do structual damage. In older homes that didnt have todays pressure treated sill plates on the concrete unfortunately one of them was a place i bought and discovered many years later luckily it was a Condominium and that fell under the Associations responsibility to repair all because of a crappy window installation being the culprit they went after the builder but it was past the 20 year warranty they had so insurance picked up some of the costs and the Association had to pay te remaining amount

Can you make a video with window build outs. Here we use Mitten foam after the typar, in order for our siding too be flush with our windows we use ⅜ plywood 2¼" wide for nailing flange.

Thank you and this is very helpful for DYI project I am working on.

Awesome video!

Good video, thanks. / I have to replace old windows on a brick exterior house (my house) basement windows and 1st flr. I'm not sure if on the basement windows I should remove the wood frame to the brick or leave the existing frame and add replacement windows to that. I've ckd a lot of videos but nothing on replacing this type. Any ideas? thanks.

In Oz, we dont wrap and seal our houses near this, I wish we did. One thing though, our drip caps usually over lap the edge of the window by 1-2 inches (each side) Notch the cladding(siding) to suit. It is at these corners, that driving rain is most likely to penetrate. Good video btw.

Best video ive seen so far

Wish I could afford those products you have there, also my sheathing is rigid foam, not so sure the window would fasten as well, also worry the cheaper tape I have to use might not adhere so well to the foam (without priming)... but I like seeing all of the options out there. Nice job.

best job i have ever seen flashing a window.

thank you for a very informative and educational how-to video. i now know how to properly install a window and flash it the right way. you are an expert in the truest sense.

Great educational video. Thank You

I did my first windows like this and it worked out great! No leaks. Thank you!

Thank you. This is a great way to do this because you can keep the house protected if you are waiting for your windows to arrive. I saw that you put a nail in every hole on the window flange, and i got concerned because I generally put nails in the corners and then about one every 6 inches every were else. so should i not do that

Excellent video, Thank you for sharing.

Very good video! Great system for waterproofing..

Incredible video. Thank you.

Greetings from Brazil. Dry construction is getting more and more known down here.

Best one I've seen yet, thanks Rick! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. If installing 1" T&G Insulation over the existing sheathing along with new windows, does the house wrap still go on first, over the sheathing, or does it go over the insulation, after the windows are installed?

Thank you wonderful help.

Mr Chris Thank you for sharing

Great video. Thank you for all the great information.
