How To Install A Window (New Construction)

[AWood]

Watch all this guy's videos.
I went from having no skills to adding an extension to my house, numerous decks, cool garden shed and a bathroom re model.
All thanks the Shannon.
Brilliant

I've been an installer for over 20 years, and it is obvious that the man in this video knows what he's doing. I have always gone with at least 6" flashing paper, all the way to 12" flashing paper. I would have gone with a 12" flashing paper for the sill, instead of using the 3 separate pieces, but each installer has their own preference. And I suppose it depends on the supplies you have to work with. But I think that this installer did a great job of going step by step on this installation process

I've been in construction since late 2007..I've done countless window installations but I'm someone who knows u can almost always improve and of course i don't know everything which is why I watch videos like this .. sometimes it seems YouTube is just a bunch of mindless entertainment but videos and channels like this remind me it's made the spread of knowledge so much easier...i appreciate the videos and all the knowledge man i still can't believe all of this is Free..it really is a godsend for people like me that have a voracious appetite to learn...what's your accent if u don't mind me asking

Hey guys, just want to thank you. We live in a lazy society. Information like this really empowers people and helps them understand how to work with their hands. You're doing a great thing!

It’s a pleasure watching a true profession working and taking the care to do a magnificent job. I wish there were more out there like you Shannon, God bless.

im audi and vw master tech 14 years in automotive; had no real clue with any construction, windows, siding, carpentry etc. Shannon just makes everything look easy; simplifies everything and explains all the details so well. A true professional; best construction videos on youtube hands down. If you wanna learn the right way to do things watch his videos.

I'm a real window guy, 2 minutes into this video i knew I was watching a man who knows what he's doing... great video

[michaelsanders]

Thank you so much. I'm not a carpenter but like to take on projects myself. I live in Montana and decided to put a new window in a room that didn't have one. I did all the cutting, framing and installing the window. Your video was the perfect instruction. You're a great teacher!

I was trying to install windows 10 now I'm here

[irunslow]

This is one of the best instruction videos I've seen. Well done. No wasted time and thorough.

This is the best video on YouTube for putting in a window. I scrolled through a lot of bad advice before finding this video.

I’m so glad I found this video. I’m turning a 15’x23’ shed on my parents property into a studio apartment.
Everything has to be taken down to the studs and replaced, and I’m doing it all myself with some help from my dad.
Every other window installation video I have seen has so much arguing over the “correct” way to install windows: how to cut the house wrap, where to put the tar tape, where to put the caulk/silicone, where to nail or screw, everything. It’s infuriating that people are so negative

I’m definitely saving this for when I get ready to install my new windows!

I have watched most of your videos and I can't express enough how helpful your videos are. Recently I have tried to do my own projects around the house and building my own 36x14 shed/patio...and without your videos I don't know how I would have done it. You are very good at explaining each step and positioning a camera to get the best angle for us to see everything you do. The more I watch your videos the simpler my projects are. I wish I can work with you for couple of months and get better at home improvements. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Awesome tip about wiping the back of the flange. Very important

[erikaslt]

I really enjoy watching this guy. Explains everything. And isn’t afraid of sharing his skills/knowledge.

[buddymartin]

I like his way of explaining. He's calm and easy spoken and just talks....simple and direct. Thank you for the video!!

[laurijorgenson]

You do such a great job explaining this stuff. It is refreshing to see a true craftsman who cares about his methods and doing it right the first time. Thank you so much.

This is exactly how I was taught to professionally install windows with exception to larger tar wrap on the bottom. Great video

[johndillenger]

Bless you man I just recently joined a construction company Dallago Corporations and this is very useful, I learned a lot from your videos, don't know why people disliked It but it's a major help and very useful Knowledge

[jcmoore]

Shannon, thank you greatly for these videos. I installed 5 windows years ago using this video and they still look perfect. Came back for a refresher while I do 3 more.
