Start by installing house wrap or WRB over the entire opening to prevent moisture and insects from penetrating the drywall. Next, install flashing tape around the sill and at least six inches up each side of the opening; Eric prefers Dupont FlexWrap, but there are other acceptable products. Roll down over sill and press tight with speed square/rafter square; fold back side WRB flaps back as temporary supports using seam seal tape or house wrap tape;

Shimming under the siding if necessary to raise the window flush with its frame may be required, though beware not to lift it more than other windows nearby as this will create a noticeable and unsightly difference in height between them.
Use a level to ensure the top of the window is square; if not, adjust lower corner shims until jamb gaps are evenly spaced at its center and top. Finally, measure diagonally to check reveal ratios on all four sides – these should all be equivalent.
If a window is out of plumb, use shims to ensure it sits evenly within its rough opening. Furthermore, ensure the head flange of your window fits flush against wall framing for added assurance of even weight distribution.
Once all shims have been installed, install a strip of waterproof caulk to protect them. Next, spread low-expanding foam across each gap where there are shims; be careful not to overfill as expanding foam may distort framing structures.
Nailing windows to jambs at every other slot will help prevent them from moving during construction.
Warranty
Installation of new windows can be an expensive investment, yet can be made easier with proper warranty coverage. Homeowners must understand exactly what is covered because warranty terms may differ between manufacturers; also, many warranties use unfamiliar terminology that makes reading them difficult for homeowners.
Warranty coverage typically encompasses labor to install new windows as well as any necessary parts that need repairing or replacing, and often provides for an extended number of years of coverage against defects in their product.
Higher-quality windows often offer more generous warranties
Be mindful that window warranties won’t cover damages caused by natural wear and tear, accidents, or incidents outside the control of the manufacturer, such as impact from objects hitting windows improperly installed or maintained, use of caustic cleaners or solvents, foam insulation products being damaged due to weather changes and even changes in atmospheric pollutants and moisture levels.
Additional key points include the length and type of warranty offered. Lifetime warranties tend to be best, though they may come with certain limitations, such as only covering windows for as long as their original purchaser or homeowner remains living in their home and excluding costs associated with labor to fix any problems that arise.
Other warranties offered to homeowners include limited lifetime and time frame warranties. While limited lifetime warranties provide peace of mind, they don’t cover as many products. Time frame warranties offer homeowners with additional peace of mind but typically expire after a specific amount of time.
Beyond these differences in warranty terms and coverage, there are other vital considerations when searching for replacement windows. Homeowners should make sure they hire experienced installers with knowledge about the type of window they’re purchasing; otherwise, they risk invalidating their warranty if they attempt installation on their own. Likewise, it’s wise to verify if their chosen contractor has adequate liability protection against accidents during installation if injuries occur during the setup process.
