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! czcams.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL 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!
The most comprehensive window installation video I have ever seen. 11 out of 10 !!!
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.
It’s such a pleasure to watch a well-prepared presentation by a professional who cares about quality work. Thanks a million.
This guy is amazing. Best install I’ve ever seen. Triple water protection. Smart as a whip this guy!!!
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.
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!
This is the best video I've seen on window installation. Thank you so very much!!!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST AND MOST CORRECT WAY TO PROPERLY FLASH WINDOWS. THANKS FOR THE ILLUSTRATION
@@RRaucina no it was taped before he put the window in. It's how we did commercial windows for years. Never a call back for that.
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.
Hands down, one of the best videos demonstrating a proper, water tight, window instalation.
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!
- This is the best window installation video I’ve found yet.
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 video is over 7 years old, BUT!! To this very day, this video is the BEST in its field, bar none! Great job!!
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.
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
This is fantastic. This man is a pro and everything he did and said makes perfect sense. Well done
Thank you! This is the best new window installation video I have found. So grateful for coming across it!
This one of the best instructional videos on CZcams of how to properly install and flash a window.
One of the best window flashing systems. Top job. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Whelp, best demonstration video I've watched over the last 3 hours.
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.
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.
Thank you...thank YOU. It is great to see new products which makes sense and how they are being used.
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.
Probably don't fit well with production government projects works.
That was fantastic and well spoken .... I learned more from this video then any other .... Well done.
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.
Excellent video, so professional and no distracting music, the best I have seen by far, thank you!
Yup and especially LIKED the "no distracting" (and completely UNHELPFUL) music.
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.
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!
What a superb video. Very well done indeed. I'm very grateful.
Valuable Window install instruction. Thank you. Cliff
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.
Excellent explanation, not only how to do it, but more importantly WHY.......great job, best vid on window install yet. Thank you
Good until he left out the critical horizontal bottom flashing! Even the ply is exposed. Bad information!
Excellent work Rick. Nice video
Thank you! Excellent....Most installers are always in such a rush and don't really care about a proper installation.... Well Done!
Awesome skills,thanx for your time ,its always nice to see someone do a proper job!
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!
Professional, succinct, easy to follow and extremely helpful. I hired a brother-in-law to replace all of my windows in 2007...huge mistake.
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
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.
Watched a dozen installation vids, this is by far, the best.
Thank you, brother.
MERRY Christmas/Happy and Healthy New Year
Refreshing to see it being done correctly, don't see this as much as you used too.... Great Job!
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)
Best video I’ve watch so far! Thank you
Well done. I want to see more of his videos. Great explanations. A real pro! Thank you.
There it is ! No more secrets, explains the waterfall effect and venting , sealing, I call this TOP NOTCH !!!! Great job...tell me more !
Excellent educational video on the proper way for window installation. Great job and thank you
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
Great Work Mr Arnold!
Thank you for the video. I found this very useful. I will be able to install my windows in my remodel with confidence.
Excellent demonstration!!
Thank you, sir! I feel much more confident to be installing my windows now. This was extremely helpful and well done.
Thank you! Mine will be (4) 2x3 shed window installations. The drawing sure falls short of these details. CZcams is my how to go to! I'll now be able to do a better installation.
Thanks for posting. I’m a diy-er, so this is a huge help. I was about to make a series of mistakes! 😳
Thank you Rick your videos are awesome,
Outstanding Video! Very informative!
Truly gets it! Only a few like you. Keep up the good work.
I like the way you talk, very clear, thank you
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
josh w not bad but I would have put flashing behind the right side of the window fin with poleurthine under it ,
This is not the best way...before folding over the window pan ,first put a piece of vycor or similar across the opening extending by each side about 6”..using vycor.(9”) you can adhere the top half (4 1/2”) to the wall leaving the paper on the bottom half..then fold the pan over the vycor...why ? Because you want to tuck your sidewall under this vycor then seal it over your sidewall...why ? So any water drains out over the shingles not Behind them.......also the drip cap should go on before the top seal is applied.....nice try but I’ll stick with our system,no leaks 35yrs.........there’s more
exactly people are weird
Well looks like these 2, 33 dislikes appeared on your comment. "This is not the best way" ... nothing to show his way. Some folks are a critique but never shows anything to be critiqued. smdh
It should have 923,000 down votes because it is incorrect. He did not place a horizontal flashing under the bottom of the window before the side pieces! Bad!
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.
Thank you, we are redoing our window using this tutorial. Perfect! Much appreciated 👍
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!
That's called a disgrace since he left out the bottom horizontal flashing under the side pieces and over the house wrap. Look at the exposed wood! This is shocking after the first part with correct details
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.
Just get a permit and the inspector will make sure it's done right.
Great video! Clearly, he's an expert with 30 years of experience
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
Amazing work, thanks for posting,
THANK YOU RICK. GOOD VIDEO. Excellent info.
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.
He makes so many references to the "tape" but doesn't tell what kind of tape he is using ..... duck tape??
@@davidgates1044 He is using flashing tape, which you can get in different widths. There are several brands that make it (Typar, Resisto, IKO, and others) but he is using Typar flexible flashing tape in the video.
@@davidgates1044 protecto super stick flashing tape works great.
More very thorough instructional videos like this please.
great video and great instruction, thank you
Greetings from Brazil. Dry construction is getting more and more known down here.
thank you... best video on the subject...
Best video on the topic
Great video. It Helped me a lot to learn how to water seal my leaky windows.
Incredible video. Thank you.
Best Video Ever! Thank You!
Mr Chris
Thank you for sharing
Tip of the hat to you Rick! I'm ready for my install now!
Awesome video!
Dear sir, can you give me the name of the sealer that you use to install the window? Thanks
Best video ive seen so far
Best install I’ve seen. 👍🏻
Very good video! Great system for waterproofing..
Best video I've seen on the topic after watching several hours worth! Great job. Thank you. I am curious what type of product went on top of the house wrap... vinyl siding? Just wondering if I can use the drip cap under vinyl siding.... or under stucco for that matter. I will have both finishes on my house.
THIS IS THE BEST DEMO EVER!!! 💯 👌
Excellent video, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you and this is very helpful for DYI project I am working on.
Great video
Best step-by-step video I have seen yet! Thank you. I think the negative 👎🏼 voters must be other YouTubing contractors or something....
Great educational video. Thank You
This was very helpful. Thank you!
very good illustration
Very clear and nicely done. Thank you. Rick, are you in New England area?
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.
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
Well laid out and narrated.
Thank you wonderful help.
