Install eaves before/after new windows?

Page 1 of 1
I have a 1960's brick veneer, and some of the windows run right up to the eaves. I recently had all the eaves removed so the windows could be installed (window company wasn't going to the job if I didn't, as eaves were asbestos).

The windows haven't arrived yet. Wondering, should I install new eaves before the windows go in, or after?

I assume you are talking about the lining under the eves? In which case probably best to do it after the windows have gone in.
Probably too late but definitely replace the eaves linings before the windows go in. You'll struggle to make it look good if you have to do it after.
