Install a window on a modular home

Installing a vinyl window

[@kronosert257]

Heck yeah. We just a bought a mobile home that needs repairs. I was trying to find the simplest way to replace the windows and this was incredibly helpful. Very simple and easy

[@sethheath9568]

Great video. Not a bunch of fluff, fast forward thru the boring parts and focused on the stuff that mattered. Really helped me not be so intimidated to take this project on. Thanks!!!

[@maureenking1608]

Great video so helpful

[@grayson3000]

Great video. We are buying a manufacturered home and it needs some love. I feel that I am able to do windows now with this info ❤

[@keithb8329]

Man, this is the best window 🪟 video. Short and to the point. You didn't leave any steps out. Explained the inside and outside steps. Can you do a video on cutting out a panel in the mobile home to make a custom window?

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it! And if you mean by taking out either the top or bottom glass I have a couple other videos that you might like.

Great video- thanks so much for sharing. I feel like I could absolutely do this myself. Now, can you do a video on changing the siding? LOL

@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass no problem glad your doing what you enjoy and helping people as you do it I watched your other video on how to replace a double pane window and you literally are saving me hundreds of dollars because I'm going to do the job my self keep it up. 💯💯💯

[@angelabrandonsantacruz4596]

Do manufactured homes need flashing on the 2x4 window opening before caulking and installing window?

[@jamesconway337]

You totally forgot the butyl tape. The silicone will leak

[@withajay3981]

Great video! Very informative!

[@leonleon2239]

Great job bro keep up the good work. Just what I needed to know haven't seen all your videos but u should make one preview of this one how to measure for a window then the follow up with this video but great job all the way homie from phx az

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Looks Nice Bud! Can I ask a silly question… can you show me or tell me how to measure for a new window? Thanks I appreciate you! 🤝

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Oh man!! There different ways to measure depending on type of window but if you’re measuring the rough opening measure you’re opening and deduct 1/2 inche for adjustment

[@l0I0I0I0]

Where are you located?

[@isisa.1348]

Thank you for the video!! 🙏🏼 …You wouldn’t recommend the tacky tape before the silicone caulking?

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

No! After replacing hundreds of windows I can tell you that tape doesn’t last long but you do need a good type of caulking cuz that also makes a big difference

[@justineakehurst]

On the reveal adjustment, is that shimming the frame to adjust the reveal or just using screws to hold the shape? Can one measure corner to corner to check for squareness?

[@firewalkerg11]

Good video thx ! 🙏

[@leonleon2239]

Once again great job A/R going to order me some window for a house manufacturer do I need to measure the depth in or are they standard thank u

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Yeah measure depth some new windows are thicker than others

[@DonnadoosTips]

I need my bedroom window replaced in my manufactured home and the window sill on the bottom left is rotted from the previous owner had an air conditioner in the window. How would I replace the sill?

[@angelabrandonsantacruz4596]

How did you measure for this window? From inside?

[@erikw113]

Looks like you installed a nail fin on top of the siding good luck when water gets trapped behind the fin

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

This is a modular home and that is how they come from factory! If it was a stick built house then The in installation of the window is done way before the siding is ever installed

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Thank you for the good observation though

[@erikw113]

@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass not sure what is behind the siding but typically you would want the nail fin behind the siding.

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

@erikw113 not an a mobile home, That’s why there is trim installed on top of the nail fin and also caulked after installing the trim

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

@erikw113 if you watched from the beginning you could see the nail fin is on top of the siding

[@LMonkeyBAd11]

Where do you find windows for a mobile home

[@jenniferhermanson8969]

you don't really need a special widow for a manufactured home. I think most of the time they will have storm windows installed and so you can replace them with a new storm window. Or, a better choice in my opinion is just like this window...a new construction window. It is called a new construction window because it has that flange around it. Much better looking and more energy efficient than storm windows.

[@andyslawnsheretoserveyou2041]

Great video do you have a question the window I installing has a lip at the bottom which leaves about a half inch Gap at the bottom just trying to make sure I install the window properly any information would be helpful thank you so much

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Is that extra lip on the outside part of the window and is it 1/4 to 3/8 lip

[@andyslawnsheretoserveyou2041]

@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass yes it's between 1/4 and 3/8 it is on the inside

[@AlexRubioRQualityGlass]

Okay if it’s what I’m thinking about it’s just more a cosmetic look nothing to do with sealing the window. If you decide to put up window trim you can stuff the trim behind that lip specifically if u use that particle board trim it should fit right under it with its thickness
