Preparing for Construction
Preparing for construction is a critical step in the timeline. Dust from demolition and installation is always a concern and we’ve listed some helpful hints to assist you during construction and after installing cabinets, easing the transition back to a fully functioning kitchen and home.
- Seal off the kitchen area doorways with plastic sheeting.
- Close all vents on the same floor as the kitchen during construction days.
- Close as many doors as possible.
- In adjoining rooms, cover furniture with blankets, and bookcases with plastic painter's tarps.
- Take a break – plan time away from the project including dinners out.
- When possible, set-up the construction area in a garage or outside covered area to eliminate the dust and noise of construction in the home's living space.

Secure Attachment of Windows
Gather the necessary tools and materials
You'll need a tape measure, level, hammer, screwdriver, drill, saw, pry bar, caulk gun, flashing tape, shims, screws, and the window unit itself. Ensure you have the appropriate size and type of window for your opening.
Measure and prepare the opening
Determine the size of the window based on the manufacturer's specifications. Mark the dimensions on the wall, making sure it's level and plumb. Remove any siding or interior finishes around the opening, taking care not to damage the surrounding structure.
Install the sill pan/flashing
Install a sill pan or flashing tape at the bottom of the rough opening. This helps prevent water infiltration. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product you're using.
Insert the window
Place the window unit into the rough opening from the exterior side. Ensure it is centered, level, and plumb. Use shims to adjust the position and make sure the window is square. Check for proper operation of the sashes and ensure they open and close smoothly.
Secure the window
Once the window is properly positioned, secure it to the frame by installing fasteners through the window flange. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for screw sizing and placement.
Insulate and seal
Apply insulation material around the window frame to improve energy efficiency and minimize drafts. Use expanding foam or insulation strips, depending on the specific window and your insulation needs. Then, apply caulk around the exterior perimeter of the window to seal any gaps and prevent water infiltration.
Finishing touches
Replace any interior finishes or trims, such as drywall or trim molding, to complete the installation. Attach trim using specialty trim screws for a clean flush look. Ensure everything is properly aligned and secure.
It's important to note that this is a general outline, and the specific steps may vary based on the type of window, your local building codes, and other factors. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions and local building authorities for specific guidelines and requirements for your area. Additionally, if you're not experienced with window installation, it may be wise to hire a professional contractor to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
