How to Install a Bay Window

19Comments

A nice job, Ron. Do you know if the old window was repurposed in any way. It still looked like a good window. Also did you have shingles on hand to match your roof 'cause sometimes you can see windows like that where the shingles don't match. Also, I think that more insulation could have been used than was depicted.

WELL RON...I HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS. FIRST DID YOU SEE HOW MANY SEAMS THAT THE INSTILLATION CREW DID NOT SEA? FROM TOP TO THE BOTTOM EDGE AND BOTTOM SEAMS UNSEALED....THEY CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!!
I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE RUN THAT ALUMINUM TAP ALL THE WAY AROUND AND EXTRA AT THE BOTTOM CORNERS. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE USED A FLEXIBLE ROOF PRODUCT ABOVE AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ALUMINUM TAPE AND BEGINNING FROM THE BOTTOM UP FINALLY COVERING THE ROOF PRODUCT WITH THE ALUMINUM TAPE.

YOU KNOW EVEN WITH THE STRINGERS UNDER THE WINDOW THE WIRE WOULD STILL STRETCH....I FOUND THAT OUT THE HARD WAY WITH AN ANDERSON WINDOW... I BELIEVE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD PRE-STRETCH THE WIRE SO THERE IS NO SAG OVER TIME...YES THE WEIGHT OF THE WINDOW EVEN WITH SUPPORT WILL STRETCH THE CORD.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE HOW THE ROOF ANGLES WERE CUT, AS WELL AS THE SIDE PIECES.AND HOW THE OVERHEAD FRAMING WAS LAID OUT. SELLING SUCH BY PELLA WOULD MAKE THEM A LOT OF MONEY.

I had to watch this video to see how it is done right. We paid for a bay window installation; however, it was nowhere as professional as these guys. We bought Thermalgard windows, but the installer in this area is worthless - less than reputable. Although we went to court and they refunded our money, without proper support our window is sagging and I've got to get someone to install a new one. At least now, I'll know what to ask up front and make sure the installation is complete. Thanks, Ron.

Leave this to the pros. It took a crew of 5 two days to our bay windown installed! I watched them closely and it is no easy task!

How do I correct a bay window? The side windows are showing not being levels. The contractor had put braces in the middle of main window about 6" apart. How do I correct this?
