Retrofit over stucco with build out questions and ideas
Hi all, I have been racking my brain with this and thought I’d ask the home improvement community. I am going to purchase some double pane windows from Home Depot or Lowe’s and install them myself self, the problem is my stucco window openings have a build out around the original aluminum frame windows and im going to be installing the windows inside of the aluminum frame but I’m trying to do as little stucco work as possible. I’m thinking of just cutting the build out back maybe 1/2” further then where the outer edges of the vinyl windows will land so I can get a good bead of sealant around the edges still. What are your thoughts on this? Or should I just remove the build out completely and then restucco and paint them install the new windows? submitted by /u/PitifulProposal4560 [link] [comments]
