Crown molding on outside windows

13 years ago

I am looking for an easy inexpensive way to add crown molding to my outdoor windows. I like the simple classy look it gives. Is there any way to install perhaps a PVC or other product that wont compromise the integrity of the window or the shingle. Or do I have to do it the old fashion way and remove the shingles and provide flashing.The windows are Anderson with a slight trim on a 1950 Ranch House. The measurement was aproximately 38inches across. If possible I would like to do it myself.I know there is someone on this forum that can help PLEASE. Thank you jjbjr

I am looking to add a header after the fact.I would rather not cut the shingles and put flashing.Are there any products that go on top of the shingle without compromising the integrity of the shingle. Like tin or pvc of good quality

We ordered beautiful moldings in molding creator. I really recommend them
because they are of a very high level of services.

The first order of business is how you plan to keep water out. Depends on the materials that are there now. Brick, vinyl, wood, etc. How is the window head flashing dealt with now will bear upon if/how it can be extended to cover another several inches of horizontal trim.
