This is the kind of guy you want to apprentice under. Just explains it as it comes to him, has endless knowledge and does an awesome job delivering it.

@nw5189 6 лет назад

As carpenter of 45 years I would say this is one of the best ways to do it. Very good for the novice to watch!!!

@WorldCommander Год назад

@tylerpotter4927 Definitely and if he doesn't know that, he is clueless about water behavior. The only thing that saves him is that big overhang of the roof, not the caulk.

@agems56 11 месяцев назад

Not just for the novice, but also for some corner cutting sloppy home builders!

@davidsearles1701 Год назад

thanks for not rushing through and for not using over technical language.

@jameswilliams663 3 года назад

I was amazed that at 7:25 he addressed how he attached the pvc to the trim board. Amazed because just a mere few seconds earlier, I was a bit disappointed that he did not demonstrate how he connected those pieces together. Then he indeed did just that. His videos are helpful because they are mostly aimed at the diyer trying to learn and do for himself. I am definitely considering siding my brick ranch by myself, because of his simple yet detailed instructive approach. Only I am looking at Everlast composite siding Thanks much

@therealRustyShackleford 2 года назад

OMG...same here. LOL!!! That's crazy we had the same thought at the same time while watching the video. And it's like Shannon knew as well!

@wymanatkinson8496 4 года назад

Shannon, it's the 83 yr.old,carpenter wannabe, from southern On. I persevered with the window cap and now we're doing the windows properly. My son is just like his mother, easily convince differently. Following all your instructions and things are going well. The bunky is looking up. Thanks again. Wyman

@donmclean762 6 лет назад

Love your videos because they give all the details that leave no room for guessing.It helps you to do things more by yourself than having to get help. I loved the video where you showed how to install a garage door . I did it alone and I was very impressed. Never had any problems. I watched a video and the small details were left out but yous was excellent because it never left any room for guessing. I always look for videos when I go to do something .

This is great. We installed new entrance doors last summer. Windows to follow and thinking of new siding too. I knew we could build out the windows so we can add some foam but wondered about the doors. This probably would work.

@zalllon 4 года назад

@deborahstrout1917 3 года назад

If you had notched the outside edge of trim before mounting, it could have served as your J-channel. Great video !! !!

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

I could have yes but with this product then I would need to prime and paint those freshly cut channels very well to seal them again to prevent delimitation from water over time.

@mikekeating 3 года назад

I love your videos, very informative and well done. That being said, I disagree with tooling caulk on anything that needs to be water tight. Caulking is supposed to be convex. When you tool it it becomes concave and creates a valley for water to sit in. I've seen windows leak and not be insured because of the caulking being tooled. They sited improper installation and referred the homeowners back to the install company.

@martytruelove5026 2 года назад

I would change insurance companies in a heartbeat.

@lanaswanson1821 5 лет назад

Wouldn't the process of cutting the foam board out slice the flashing tape and basically void the whole point of the tape making a seam for water to penetrate?

@wmoli872 4 года назад

Not if you follow his instructions and do it in a series of cuts. Link us to your videos though, show us how it's done.

@anthonymarquez1775 4 года назад

A lifesaver, I'm dealing with a oldish house built in the 40's that has the "sheathing", pine siding and vinyl siding on top of that. Looking for a way to make the trim for some new windows without introducing water leakage or having it look off.

@gsh319 5 лет назад

Nice work Shannon. Real clean look

@rickcathcart2196 5 лет назад

Makes a nice looking finish. Would rather see the horizontals run straight through, with an angle on top surface of the bottom one to run water out for when the caulking fails,

@ciine70 4 года назад

I m installing 1" Foam so i don't need to do this, but the Trimming is awesome so i will do that one to every window on my house.

@rehman12390 Год назад

Really nice tutorial. I have a question though. How do you install vinyl siding on top of this styrofoam? Do you use long nails to do that? My house has similar exterior insulation and vinyl siding on top of it. I want to install camera on top of vinyl siding. How do i fasten the surface mounting block to vinyl siding ? Should i use long screws to reach the wood underneath or can i use small screws to hang the surface mounting block with the vinyl siding. In fact, a professional vinyl installer suggested me to do the latter. What is your suggestion?

@patrickclemens8431 Год назад

I have the same question, Shannon.

@Bubba_fett 3 года назад

I like your tutorials, I'm starting my siding job tomorrow on my home. Its pretty straight forward ranch with windows and a few fixtures. Its fun work, so smile once in a while man. Cheers.

@leochen4891 3 года назад

Is it going the cut the flashing tape or house wrap when cutting through the foam board?

@jjmooner1 4 года назад

Would suggest using a metal flashing, a Siga breathable membrane, and an air gap, strapping which allows airflow for drying

@ds99 6 лет назад

Shannon, butt is my favourite word. 😀 Thanks for the demo. Well done.

@TonyWadkins 5 лет назад

Nice details ! Just a little armchair carpentry here.... Curious about the long term water/rot resistance of the composite trim boards? Especially the sill piece. Is it the same material as engineered subfloor sheets or OSB or perhaps it's treated with a resin for water resistance? Maybe a back coat of primer. Also, I might have tried to completely coverfully the bottom board at the foundation with the red membrane tape so condensation wouldn't rot it out. Or perhaps used treated material. My wet humid climate in the deep south is much different from yours so it's probably not a problem for the details mentioned above. Love your videos! Ignore my ramblings because the stuff that I've seen you do is 99% better than most of the crap I've come across in my remodeling career.

@HouseImprovements 5 лет назад

Yes our climates are much different . This trim is designed to be used as such and seems to have a good factory primer on all surfaces. Time will tell, as it is relatively new in the last 6 yrs or so up here. You may enjoy commenting in our forum from time to time with your experience? Check it out and see what you think.

@HouseImprovements 29 дней назад

No problem

@embwee Год назад

I'd be worried about using composite anywhere, but especially where it abuts other wood where moisture can infiltrate. My problem is that the window frames are brick mold-- I could try to plane it so that the boards are flat, but that will be tricky to achieve. I could build the low/ inside with strips of wood and then screw an extension to that...that seems to be the most workable solution. Great teaching, as others have noted as well!

@embwee Год назад

which is exactly how you've done it (short thinner piece attached perpendicular to the trim, to form an L)

@HouseImprovements Год назад

I have a follow up video coming out in late October or November of 2023 ( This is a follow up 5 yrs after the install)

I added foam to my home & my neighbor said good way to waste money 👍 So then he comes to ask how do you plan on boxing your windows. I showed him your video 🙏👍🇺🇲🥃♥️🤣 Just like this professional does it. After I explained that as a veteran I was discounted on the foam then the credit card gave me 24 mo intrest free, with 10% off my purchase also a federal tax break of $1200.⁰⁰ my foam was 40 x $28. For R10 2in. Pretty much free. 😂 just my time.

@rogerwhiting9310 3 года назад

I am watching this with a LOT of interest. I want to pull the vinyl siding off and add 4 inches...2+2...of polyiso. There will be a GIANT extension past the window flange. I dint think a piece of pvc 4 inches wide would be a great idea. It is also going to be reliant on caulking to keep water from getting under the pvc.... and that doesnt seem wise either. You seem to have a good grasp of this....whats the way to add 4 inches of foam AND keep water out FOREVER? Thanks

@danielohirsch 5 лет назад

Why didn't you run the rigid foam up past the soffit... doesn't the wall extend up there a bit?

@stevethewsimpson25 3 года назад

Relying on caulk to seal joints makes for a poor joint. You will have to re-caulk it every year in order to keep the rain out.

really like the video I could not make out what you use on the outside corner

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

I used 1-1/2" foam covered with 1/2" plywood (this gives me the 2" thickness like the rest of the wall) and then installed my outside corner " LP Smart Trim " over that.

@Bigjmoney83 5 лет назад

Enjoy your videos, your work ethic and attention to detail. Only question I have is why didn't you miter the corner? Is it just preference?

@HouseImprovements 5 лет назад

You absolutely could , this is just a preferred look for me.

@2010williethomas 6 лет назад

I was going to this to my house but the question of how to attach the siding to that came up and I'm hesitating.. the finished product looks really good!

@HouseImprovements 6 лет назад

I am installing vinyl siding over this 2" foam and am using 3" shingle nails. If you are using a cement siding then I would not go with foam any thicker than 1-1/2".

Can you put other types of siding over that rigid foam, besides vinyl siding? Looking at doing the modern planks from our old wood siding. Thx for videos.

@HouseImprovements 2 месяца назад

Some you can especially over 1" foam . Heavier sidings like cement board is not recommended over thicker foam without strapping over the foam first .

@HouseImprovements 5 лет назад

Give it a try, should work.

@mitchdenner9743 4 года назад

Thats what I'm thinking of doing, pocket screwing the frame together. But i still haven't figured on a good way to attach it without putting a bunch of holes in it , because i wont be painting the trim. I'm doing the trim now because i am re siding the house now and wont have the money to do new windows for a few months, so i want to make frames that will be fairly easy to remove when the time comes for new windows. Pull the frame, replace and flash in new window, then reinstall frame. This way i won't have to tear into new siding when i replace the windows.

@lydialas8756 Год назад

@Hello How are you doing dear

@theropesofrenovation9352 5 лет назад

That's an awesome idea!!

@toddvansickle1483 4 года назад

If you we're replacing a window would you run the foam up to the window opening...then flash and install the widow?

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

No the window should not be installed onto foam. First you would install solid wood around the opening (with old window removed) that is as thick as the foam you are using and at least 2 " wide. The window can be installed and the foam butts to the wood.

@ronblaikie3829 2 года назад

Hello Shannon. I'm in NS Canada. I'm on in the spring to put vinyl on a 1974 house. I have color lock on the house, which was used alot back then . Ok now after I stripped it down to the boards, When I prep the house I'm going to place house wrap on first, Then this is where I'm not sure. Do I put the styrofoam on next then wood slats then vinyl siding. Now the wood is for a air barrier. Does this sound right. Now to pump you up but I have watch and learn alot from your videos. Thanks from the great white north. Cheers Ron

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

Thanks Ron. Yes if you are doing a "rain screen" then you want the wood strips on under the siding. The house wrap can be under or over the foam.

@macleanclassics 4 года назад

Just the solution I was looking for! But, I was thinking the bottom piece of PVC should go over the composite, to act as a continuous sill, and be notched on the ends to accept the side trim for water run off ??? Or are you comfortable the joint between your PVC and composite trim won't leak ? Or better yet, just have a piece of metal flash go in with it to cover the joint and make a continuous sill.

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

If you are concerned you could go either way

@nhschreiner Месяц назад

Hi you have some great videos, any chance you could explain or direct me to a video explaining how to trim a curved window sill using aluminum trim stock. I have scoured the internet with no success. I am attempting to wrap my curved bay window sill and apron with white aluminum trim. Thank you for any help.

@HouseImprovements Месяц назад

Generally pretty impossible to do. Many times I have to cut the J in short lengths and join together. I unfortunately have no video at this time.

Shannon with the insulation board is there a wider drip edge to compensate for the thickness of the insulation .I figure that you still place it or nail it to the wood .With what I got it doesn't seem to to be wide enough. Or am I missing something from your video..Thanks Ron

The drip edge over windows is installed over the foam not under it. Use my forum please if you have further questions.www.house-improvements.com/forums/

@ltcajh 3 года назад

I liked this until I saw the OSB trim. Waterproof?

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

This is an exterior grade trim. Use it all the time.

@cmnr8487 3 года назад

it is made for that, also depending on what part of the country you live, some people don't have alot of moisture/rain/humidity so not as much of an issue. You can still use this same method using only pvc trims or cedar or treated wood, you don't have to use the OSB type.

@huejanus5505 3 года назад

Will the water get in, in between the pvc and trim pieces at the bottom of the window? Water does tend to pool there.

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

I dont seem to have issues , but if you think you will keep a slight slope on the sill

@al3645 5 лет назад

What kind of caulk did you use. Caulk I’ve used sinks into the holes. I’ve done pvc trim. What do you recommend to fill holes in pvc before painting it? Btw I did pvc trim around doors and window with 3/4” gap behind to fit vinyl siding. That way you don’t have to use j channel around the trim. Looks clean.

@HouseImprovements 5 лет назад

Mono exterior caulk. Sometimes it takes a second application.

@pingpong9656 3 года назад

Is there not a risk to cutting through the flashing and house wrap?

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

These windows do not have water weeps and on windows that have that it is not usually in the brick moulding but in the bottom sash of the window.

@SonNguyen-iy8ut 3 года назад

Hi, will the foam shrink enough in -40 that it would make a problem with those tape or even disturb the siding?

No, you should get no shrinkage with this

@paisley436 Год назад

Any links on where I can find how to this when windows are being changed/new build? I'm in the southern US, so I don't need 2in foam but I;ve read that there can be issues with the window installation over foam.

@HouseImprovements Год назад

The windows are not installed over foam. In this case because the windows were not changed foam was added up to the windows , this is why the extensions where built and installed. If your adding new windows and adding foam you would first build out (with wood) around the openings to match the foam thickness and then install the windows finally the foam would butt against the build outs. For example if using 2" foam I would use 2x4 covered with a strips of 1/2" plywood for the build out.
