Adjust the window, making sure it rests on each of the shims. Ensure that the window is square and plump by measuring diagonally, both ways. Adjust the window as necessary until both measurements are the same. Use roofing nails to secure the window along the nail flange. Next on both sides, stick the flashing over the nail flange, over the sheathing and on top of the house wrap, tacking it under the top house wrap flap and over the bottom wrap.
At the top, apply the flashing over the nail flange, underneath the wrap and directly on the sheathing. You may consider taping the edges of the top flap down and so that it holds securely in place.
Use a roller to press down the flapping. For over 24 years, Honey-Doers has provided Twin Cities customers with quality home remodeling, renovation, repair, and installation services. Want to get in touch? Give us a call or connect with us online for a free estimate.

Working with a Contractor for Your Window Installation The first step of the planning process is consulting potential service providers in your area. Some of the options for windows types Honey-Doers installs include: Single or double hung windows: the bottom part of the window opens by sliding upwards.
In a double hung window, both the bottom and the top part open by sliding in the opposite direction. Single slider window: has two glass panes with one fixed and another movable that opens horizontality. We can also install double and three pane slider windows. Casement hinged windows: which are hinged on one side and open to the outside. They do not have a bar in the middle, offering unobstructed flow of air, natural light and view of the outside.
Bay windows: extend outwards from the walls of a building, expanding a room and draws in a lot of natural light. It allows for natural light and acts as a frame for the outside scenery.
Egress window: built mostly for basements, an egress window opens wide and is meant to double as an emergency exit. How much room do window installers need? In the first basic Framing video, We covered layout. Marking rough opening centers first all the way down the wall. The rough opening determines the space between the jack studs, which support the header.
So the header needs to be the rough opening plus three inches, the width of two jack studs. Headers usually have plate stock above and below them for full bearing on the jack studs. A slight variation on this is to use the jack stud to support both the header and the window sill, by cutting the jack stud. This means less lumber and less thermal bridging at each window opening, but it may mean slightly more compressive movement in the framing lumber.
The building mfg says they can make the openings any size, but I am wondering about mounting. Thanks, David. Hi I am about to build a camp. I could use t30 structural screw. I have an engineering background and know the X portion of compression will be off set by tension… but old school carpenters give a bad look with this idea. I also think this info is misleading. I quickly googled rough in gap and this article popped up first. Well that depends, are you installing new windows with frames or replacement windows, there is a HUGE difference.
We would want it to look like sunroom? Thanks Ron. Hard saying actually.. Each manufacturer does it a bit different, but they all typically fit into a RO. How large a beam do I need to use for the upper frame and lower frame?
I guess the upper beam will be holding a lot of the weight of everything above and so should be bog enough to not transfer any weight down on the window frame. All around?
