I had to use restraint to keep butchers out of the title, as that would have been negative.
Jason and I do prefer to stay positive if possible.
However, Jason and I have recently seen many windows installed or “butchered” in the last 6 months.
I’m wondering why? Are so many in such a hurry that they are unable or unwilling to install flashings and break out correctly?
Things that make you go, hmmm...

Back to reality, this video repair went better than expected, as we found no wood rot.
I will include a couple of videos that show how to install windows properly and another of why it’s best to use skill rather than muscle when breaking out the edges to allow, if possible, at least 3 inches of existing paper and stucco netting. And a third as to saw cutting the stucco to install. The window.

By the way, you or any window installer leave three inches of paper for proper waterproofing.
Leaving an inch to three of existing stucco netting is to ovoid stucco cracking from the new to existing stucco.

I will also include a simple saw-cut window as it was easier to install. However, it was done by a homeowner, not a professional.
A homeowner might do this, as they don’t know. Still, when a professional window installer does it, most stucco contractors will double their price if they fix another man’s inability to install correctly.
If they are unable or unwilling, the homeowner pays the price for them saw-cutting the stucco, installing a window, and running to their truck to beat the traffic home.
However, if they informed you they plan to saw-cut the stucco and install new windows, you know ahead of time.
