Does everyone appreciate that he has an actual camera person following his every move rather than using a stationary camera? Makes his videos so much better. Thanks to you both

No

Cheers Geoff, we are definitely trying to increase our production value.

[@tttarms1970]

Yeah...clear professional and precise...very appreciated

[@slushaem4741]

It does make it so easy to watch vs watching a standstill shot. I love so much how much detail and information he gives, I learn so much!! (FYI, I'm not a video editor or video guy)

Home RenoVision DIY Hi Jeff I live in Orleans and would like to do some remodeling would you be able to do it Thanks

[@OfficialTsunami]

“You begin from the beginning” is one of the realest most true statements I’ve ever heard from a DIY channel. Thanks for the good content 🤞🏾

[@alexsinclaire1504]

I wish i had met just one contractor like you in person. Thats the highest compliment i can give you.

[@martydoll2935]

This guy is an animal! I truly appreciate a man who tells it like it is yet can laugh at himself! BRAVO😂

[@semmes5342]

Absolutely incredible instruction, the level of detail is second to none. How the level of 2 windows relates to backsplash tile is something 99% of us didnt even think of thats gold

[@cpuebla7909]

“You begin from the beginning” that’s when I knew he’s the real deal

[@Emmanuelwithus]

You the man!! You made it simple, common sense and included the very important details for window purchase, tools, moisture defense and thermal breaking. I'm replacing 30 year old double hung windows and I'll find out if any of the defense tech that was available during that time was used as I'm anticipating some rot. Most of all you have me looking forward to replacing a window for the first time as well as it being the prototype for the others including a picture window replacement. Thank you very much and I look forward to your other videos on all things renovation!

[@Piledriver2235]

Great video! Bought my own house that needed gutted and completely redone. Been using your library to help with the things I didnt know. I worked residential framing and remodeling back in the 90s and still have retained a pretty good idea how to DIY most things even though I have been working heavy construction for the last 20years. Especially windows, I installed hundreds. But your other vids have shown me some new tricks that I didnt know since tech and materials have evolved in the last 20 years so I figured I'd check this one out. Back in the day we used to build up sills and sides with plywood or dimensional lumber to minimize the gaps, shim and then stuff fiberglass in the gaps and caulk the interior. Cap the exterior with aluminum we'd bend on a brake and then caulk seams. The way you wrapped the tyvek, waterproofed the sill and used foam just makes so much sense from an insulation and waterproof sense. I'm glad I watched before I started my installs. They have come a long way with foams in the decades I've been out of the game. Thanks for the great content

[@iAutodidact]

I’m going to be helping my lifelong-tradesman grandfather replace some windows and he’s gonna hate my newfound knowledge lol

[@matthewscheidenhelm4563]

The added comedy and candid insights makes this so much better.

[@williamunderwood4339]

Hey Jeff! Thanks for all of the time you put into educating us! My wife and I bought a major fixer upper house in Orangeville, ON and close in January, 2022. We've done many remodels over the years but never a gut job down to the studs (renovation); nor have I done windows before... I feel I have a good understanding of most things, since I've dabbled in just about everything, but your videos have certainly helped me understand things way better than before... And maybe even made me realize I did a lot wrong haha. Since we live and work in similar areas, I was hoping you could recommend a window wholesaler that I should order my new windows from. Thanks again!!

[@davemckeraghan3585]

I can't stop watching his videos... super informative and he talks in a way that is totally relatable. 👌 His videos are true to life and the camera work is fantastic. I am going through a cottage reno and as a somewhat DIY guy myself I can tell you that his videos have helped tremendously already. Thank you! 😊 please keep the videos coming.

[@qaziirfanullah8519]

Wow! Jeff apart from being an excellent craftsman, you are pleasantly hilarious. You make a difficult job look simple and wit such a wonderful sense of humour watching and learning from videos is real treat. Thanks a million. Stay safe and healthy and keep posting such wonderful videos. Thanks.

[@codyphinney9256]

Im assuming you ladies are leaning how to be “Handy Men”? If so, good for ya! Hope all works well, no better feeling that when YOU BUILD IT! And, you can say “don’t need a man to do work for ya” and it saves ya SOOOOO much money. For example. Doing my Front Porch Roof and A window and a peace of Vinal and minuscule paint touch up. But, a contractor woulda “UP” charge items and pay labor. Do all that, talking $2500+. Do it MYSELF, talking $850ish....BIG DIFFERENCE!

[@suzyhector6541]

Same!

[@AdaobiUkadike-Ellis]

Agreed!

[@countrybigfoot5252]

Always love your videos. This was of great benefit to me as I'm debating about replacing a kitchen window in the spring and trying to think ahead. Great job and thank you for educating the rest of us diyers on how to do it the right way.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers , you will find the trim video coming soon helpful as well. we build a jamb extension and a sill for a traditional look.

[@joebinion1]

I love how you go the extra step in showing all the little details in the process of whatever you are installing great video please keep giving us videos I have learned so many little things that I have either forgotten or just never knew GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

[@randystrand9716]

Had a very successful tub calking experience after watching that video about 4 times! ~ I repeat my watching because you fill your videos lots of tip and overall great information that works! Thank you for helping make me a success in my projects!!!

[@deborahhefty2558]

I wish I had found your video sooner! I just put a piece of wood under a replacement window (post termite repair - the replacement window was from 12+ years ago and not done correctly by "professionals" in the first place.) I did put a heavy glob of silicone behind it to meet up with outside. Now I wish I hadn't and just used the foam. It's wedged in pretty tightly so I doubt I can get it out safely. I love your videos and have been binge-watching them lately. We were thinking about doing some of the demo for 2 bathroom renovations to save money, but after you mentioned the cost of tub/shower without vs. with new floor tile we decided the estimated we got were reasonable and I will just watch the work being done to ensure it is done correctly. The videos are truly homeowner-friendly!

[@1557Reckless]

The main reason I come to this channel before trying anything at home is because he tells me everything I need to know, not everything there IS to know and it makes it so much easier to understand and not feel as overwhelmed from information overload. And of course we're both Canadian so his store choices, building code mentions, and when he talks about weather patterns I know we have the same "types" of weather.

[@gracjan9069]

My wife and I are buying a manufactured home and are closing this week. Super excited about the diy renovations we’re about to embark on. Jeff has been the best help, by far! Thanks for the great content!

[@trip127]

Love your videos and this one in particular as it’s cool to see someone actually using the blue skin the factory I work at makes. I always wondered how companies actually used it as to me it’s just a roll that we put in a box

[@davidsgarage44]

A confident builder explains everything effortlessly like this while using sarcasm and going through every step.Great video this will teach many

[@hans2five]

you're my go to for how to do any project myself. just found a window that's leaking and now has black mold so I'm hoping to save a few bucks on fixing it myself after a company comes through to take care of the mold. cheers again sir and great video.

[@JamesMiller-hb3qt]

Jeff, I would like to thank you for the extra work you do to make your DIY videos. Your information and demonstrations have been very useful to me. I am restoring a late 19th century 2 storey log cabin that was relocated to a waterfront site 40 years ago, it was reconstructed to about 90% complete and then abandoned. It had no maintenance for about 20 years. I have had to abate the attic, replace windows, add new siding, rebuild a deck and 3 season room - and I have referred to your videos as my go-to resource. Not only have you saved me a ton of money, but the tips, tricks and recommendations for certain products that will help to avoid water problems in the future have made the job easier and more fun. It feels like I have done a good job ensuring I can enjoy the cottage without concerns or worry that I took a shortcut where I should not, or that the work is somehow insufficient. So, I wish I could shake your hand - virtual will have to do. I wish you much success in your business and I sincerely thank you.

[@mikec8668]

This has me feeling confident in replacing my own windows. Thank you very much!

[@tronotrond]

Thank you so much for these videos! I have a house from 2007 with a broken window, and more or less all the vinyl windows are a pain in a** to open/close. Now I feel pretty confident I can change the broken window and do a better job that the original contractors did!

[@user-fv2fv6rf6q]

Ripping on it then finding a screw holding it was so relatable and funny I appreciate your videos sir.

[@dextermiller7073]

Hi Jeff, this video has helped me learn a ridiculous amount! Thanks so much, I've just recently decided to replace my windows and I was crapping bricks because I didn't want to screw it all up. So thanks again for speaking plainly and explaining everything as clear as day.

[@secretmuse420]

I love channels like these thank so I can work on my own stuff, thank you!🙏🏽

[@user-eo2qt2ri9c]

I love this guy's videos. Hands down the most informative and, by all appearances, he films live showing the easy and the difficult not sugar coating anything. Bravo!!

[@jasonventura1804]

Great video. I always appreciate the level of detail you go into even when it's not a scenario you're facing in that instance. One quick comment though. I notice that the windows did not match. The one on the left had a grille and the right one did not. We're you replacing both or was that intentional for another reason?

[@TwangTown]

From the first stuble across your channel trying to figure out how to level my house since the flood here in Waverly TN, to this one... you know every trick of the trade it seems. Great instruction every time, every video. The laser level tip... man, thats going to make life so much easier. Forrest

[@glsgareth]

I really feel for this guy. He wants to tell you everything you need to know, all while trying to make the instructions simple to follow. I run into this all the time and my business is nothing like construction.

[@franciscoalicandri2476]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a realistic and well inform way. To release the weight of lifting and handling, can I take off the window panels then starts the installation process and put them back after finished the installing?

[@abdullah79195]

Damn it how am I supposed to live with only half an hour of content this week!!! How shall I liveeeeee

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

LOL, That was funny!

[@DomDollx]

I am so grateful rn to have come across your channel, instantly subbed. I'm on my 3rd video ...even if they're long as heck! - but we're in a mess with a new house with almost a complete reno and we've just cut ties with our 2nd contractor bc of all the bs they're pulling. I'm adding a tidbit here so others can be cautious. Don't rip out everything just because the contractor/hired help is intimidating you to do so! we were bullied and manipulated to do fixes we could've lived with and we decided it's just better to DIY some of the stuff we want to do and get specialized help with plumbing and electrical. Thank you so much for these helpful videos, I just learned a bunch of stuff about window install. Taking notes, rewinding etc like this is a university lecture! I appreciate the following about your videos (and I watch a lot of home improvement stuff and am a millennial): 1. 0 bs music covering up what you're saying 2. pauses at the right places, cutting out unnecessary bits so we can stick to the video which is already technical and long 3. very technical ...no loooongggg personal anecdotes, with light humor and mainly focused on instructional content 4. mentions of useful tools, materials, variations in applications and potential differences in conditions etc. again, ty so much!

[@EDBailley]

Awesome video, so now we can be more professional than the professionals lol. Cherrs! I always wondered what the best way is to install windows and now I know, thanks Jeff for all you do in teaching us.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Happy to help!

[@claudews529]

Really great tutorial. I work reno and, if I may, add some notes from my experiences: 1. side-HUNG & top-HUNG & PIVOT windows: the JAMBS are not always square, and I always check that the sides JAMBS are plumb, and that they align correctly with the SASH. 2. big and heavy windows (2 person to move), as well as 2 sections (side-by-side) windows: I leave the bottom shims in place, as well as the shims under the link between the 2 sections (the same that I would do with sliding glass doors) Thx for sharing, again I've learned many new tricks.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hi Claude, when I order windows I always leave a little extra gap on an old house. in most cases if the window operates now then the new one will fit in the space just fine with the same measurements. Cheers with leaving in the shims.

[@claudews529]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I guess my technical english is not that good. I edited my comment with proper terminology (hopefully). My comment was not related to measures, but to weight, shims & plumb jambs. - side-hung windows have a tendency to pull on the side jamb and unsquare the window casing (at installation time). So I check jamb plumb, and sash/window-case alignment, for complete free movement of the sash. - For very heavy windows (ie: 5'x6' double glass), I leave the bottom shims in place. I don't fully trust the foam. Hope that clarifies And thank you for previous notes... regards

Your correct about your work being more professional than most actual professionals do. I got my garage professionally done by danleys garage. And I just saw a ceiling joist where they put a nail through supposedly to attach it to another piece of lumber. And the nail completely missed it so it’s not even attached to anything. Is just a nail going through the joists for decoration

My cordless reciprocating saw is the best tool I've ever bought. Haven't used my corded Sawzall for years. Not only can you use a battery powered reciprocating saw on anything around the house, you can use it on trees on your property and other tasks around the yard. Come to think of it, I'm going to sell my Milwaukee corded Sawzall, I hardly ever used it. My second favorite tool I would recommend is a cordless narrow crown stapler. Mine is a Ryobi and Ryobi doesn't get much respect but their cordless narrow crown stapler is awesome!

Hi, my name is Antonio and I'm from Portugal, I've been seeing a lot of videos and concluded that your experience are relevant to my doubts. I restor my kitchen with drywall and I need to mount a strip of tiles between the counter and the upper cabinets. I saw so much information that I ended up being more confused than I was before. I need your opinion for the following questions. To put the tile on the drywall! - is it advisable to use any waterproofing material? - Is a primary also needed? - Or can I put the tiles directly on the drywall, or is there a specific adhesive cement for this application? Thank you, I look forward to your feedback

Any chance we could get a basement glass block window install? Really nice videos, keep up the good work

Love that siding color, I noticed you level the window but not if it was plumbed, is their reason for this?

[@jamesfauren3994]

Do you measure the exact with in height and then the company adjusts for making a tab it smaller or do you do that when providing your measurements?

Hi Jeff. I have aluminum windows in brick and siding in a house built in 1992. Window companies normally take a torch to the glue holding the window in to take out the glass. I've replaced a couple small windows with a torch. It works but the torch along with using a scraper or razor to separate the glue sometimes cracks the window making it dangerous to remove. Are there any tips you can offer to soften the glue up enough to remove the window and avoid cracking it too much? Note that the window frame is aluminum so I don't think the heat stays where the glue is for too long. Also, I probably won't be doing this without your videos - I appreciate your videos.

When I took the siding off my house to replace it along with the windows I found the only thing holding the windows in place was the trim. The windows were never mounted, wow.

That's why I want to handle repairs/upgrades in my house myself. A lot of people we hire could care less how the jobs we pay them for turn out. Us Homeowner always care about doing good job.

2 years ago I replaced the front door myself because the 3 quotes I got were insanely priced. I'm handy, but I never hung a door and doing an exterior door did scare me. Anyways, aside from the casing, there was only 1 nail holding the door in! It sure was easy removing the door. After I successfully completed that install...all the doors got replaced because that job gave me the confidence to do the rest. Thanks to KZbin videos like these, us DYI'ers can save some $$$.
