Good info here , but the gap between the new window frame and the existing old window jamb must be insulated or at least caulked if you don’t want air leaks. The outside needs caulking as well.

[@jeffwhitney3369]

@The Edwin Manna Filez What's the value going to be when the window rot's out!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kamiperzsi7495]

Its my first time trying to install a window. Dont you need to shem behind the screw holes in the window to fill in the small gap between the house frame & window frame

[@ginakerry2588]

First video I found that includes installation of the seal angle and head expander. Thanks for covering those apparently obscure items. We ordered the American Craftsman 50 Series windows which arrived with the head expander and seal angle pieces clipped to the bottom of the window. There were no instructions. I initially thought this was how they were to be installed, ie. along the bottom of the replacement window. Fortunately while test fitting the window, the expander hit my knee and fell off, at which point we realized there was a sill angle piece there as well. We had to look up the instructions online, and they were still unclear about how to install the sill angle. Thank you very much for posting this information!

[@victorperez1734]

I had the same issue. But the 50series from home depot are closing properly/ can lock them.

[@journeyon1983]

I'm having 10 windows replaced in my house in a couple of months or so and I wanted to see the steps of this process before the installers come. I can't believe it's this easy to do. One note that I took from this video is making sure the installers score the paint from the trim before they remove it. I saw another KZbin video in which this wasn't done and what a zig zag paint cracking disaster that was. Hugo shows how to do this and the rest of the process right.

[@HugoCorrea]

Correct, im glad my videos give you an idea on how you need to do the process to avoid issues later

[@mrf2869]

First apply silicone to the sill so water doesn’t come back underneath from strong rains/snow & the window needs to be centered/squared using shims so it doesn’t bow outwards so it can be tightened securely not left snugged also by doing so you can apply light expanding window foam all around it and Caulk the outside all around the window but not the inside so the foam can breath the trim will hide the foam. 👍🏻

[@FullPictureMedia]

Exactly right 💯

[@tiwalterite]

This guy windows.

[@stephendagenhart7449]

That's a good video for DIY. As an eighteen year installer, there is a much easier way to remove those windows besides removing the interior trim ( which is usually really old and brittle.) You can use a what some call a drywall hammer that has the axe edge on one side and a regular framing hammer. You can literally chop out the outer stops and remove the window from the outside. That way less mess in customer homes. The interior trim then becomes your stops and windows will line up exactly the same as your method. But yes, very good job sir!

[@HugoCorrea]

Thank you

[@daveyboy8907]

Chisel or flat screwdriver and pop those outside stops off..We call those outside loads.Then install new stops and cap and caulk the opening.

[@Wonkster]

I agree. We sawzaw the outside stops (or chisel) and pull it out from the outside unless im replacing the inside trim. And we usually still saw saw the oitside either way because it wraps better if you do

[@tperk]

Nice but I'm installing on the second floor using a ladder and my superpower of human flight hasn't kicked in yet

Spray foam insulation between the frame of the windows and the wall is always a great option. You dont need a spray gun these days either pretty neat

[@mattt198654321]

I could listen to your voice all day. Relaxing.

[@hectorrivera482]

Very good video cover everything that I need to know, I like the video. Thanks

[@worlukk]

good video. pride in workmanship. i wish you were in my area.

[@faithismespeaks6848]

I use a plastic tree wedge for protection under the pry bars so you do not damage the drywall or wood while prying the old frames out if they are nailed in . The plastic wedges can be found at stores that sell chainsaws, I have used them for years installing windows. You can also use the tree wedges as a temporary shim so you do not over tighten the doors or windows, then you remove it later and replace with a composite shim. The composite shims do not absorb water so they work much better long term. Hope this helps someone, I have installed all different brands of windows since the mid 80s. You would not believe the amount of damage the wedges save you from doing when you're trying to break a old window frame out when the nail fin was nailed to death by Billy Bob the installer.

[@HugoCorrea]

How do we measure window sizes properly before buying them, and what should we be careful with so i don’t end up ordering twice.

[@vilo3454]

I usually spray Loctite or Great Stuff (blue can) window and door gap filler in the bottom to insulate the air gap under the window base and the window sill then install the window swiftly (not fast , but not slow) as the foam expands, then caulk the inside with paintable caulking and then the outside with paintable or non paintable caulking as well

[@burrr1047]

Be careful with overspray with foam or overpacking fiberglass insular underneath the window sill as it can bow the sill up causing an uneven seal on the bottom sash. Worse, it may actually impede the window’s ability to close.

[@flybyav8tor]

I’m always shocked when people get rid of original windows that last for over 100 years for plastic windows that last 30 years at best. I just restored some windows that are 173 years old and in amazing shape and beautiful as well.

[@bkennington67]

The windows these days don’t have a nailing flange? Is that only for new construction? I’m planning on changing the exterior from T1-11 to vinyl siding as well so I feel I should have new windows with a flange.

[@ela100297]

I would love to see a video where the sides are rotten and how you would go about replacing them. I just bought a house (first time home buyers) and all my windows need replaced and have rot can stick knife over 2 inches in the side

[@southbayproducts5371]

[@aarone9000]

These windows were the easiest best thing I ever did for my house! Since my incone is small I did a reverse infatic order; I did the wose window first. Then worked my way around the house one at a time Very well worth it!! Be sure to place insalation in between the window and the house window frame!

[@kamiperzsi7495]

[@HugoCorrea]

[@conversationswithadrianne]

Nice video.

[@montamang837]

Since the window is new it’s better to use new stopper or new trim

[@bobbytucotte867]

What about shimming the window level first And secondly The foam insulation is pretty pertinent for the windows efficiency

[@johnconnors2386]

I too wanted to see a level, shims & opposite, incremental screw installation. I understand that spray foam can bow windows, so they might not work properly. If a space needs to be filled, simply stuff fiberglass insulation or gap filling material in there. This won’t affect the functionality of the window.

[@victorvek5227]

Why didn’t you put any flashing tape around the opening before installing? No bed of silicone beneath the sill either?

[@chanellesangels2002]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@billyrawls5145]

I been installing windows for almost 20 years. And i have never pit them in from the inside. I pit in from outside insulate the window and wrap out side with trim coil. Makes for a much beter looking job

[@HugoCorrea]

Great idea!!

[@chaoschillin1876]

What is "trim coil"?

[@C4H9N3O2-]

@@chaoschillin1876 thin aluminum metal that can be bent to the shape of your existing trim. Basically you wont ever have to paint trim again and it makes everything look clean. There are certain houses you should never wrap imo, makes it look worse if they have nice wood.

[@maciejfassa4394]

Some good deals for windows are at Dako.

[@kennethcopeland6502]

Wait, so you don't flash at least the bottom? Or spray foam between the frame and the new window?

[@iggyfarms2361]

On an old house you should Never put in Vinyl window in place of original old windows... Why ? Because the house wants to breathe with the wooden frames.. When you use vinyl windows the house wants separate from the plastic vinyl...I suggest you check out how to prepare old windows or put in wooden frame windows.... Remember to talk to someone who wants to keep their historical house more original so you are not using vinyl windows.

[@sjgeneralcontractors2137]

When you say “old house” how old would that be? Prior to 1950’s or 2000? Just would like a point of reference

[@carlosportilla7634]

What about the insulation ? Foam or something for the wind

[@wendellmonster6179]

Very good video our house the windows lost. The seal maybe they were put in too tight? What do you think

[@joshuaglickman1871]

It has a channel where you snap the spacer in

[@kamiperzsi7495]

First time installing a window. Silly question but what are the two screws on each side for that are already screwed into the window frame when you buy it. Can you just discard those or are they holding the window together???

[@MrShack246]

Very nice, George Lopez 👍🏻

[@loganschlabach3899]

Window replacement is for the pros. Always test for lead paint in houses before 1979, and if lead paint is present best not to disturb interior trim.

[@petp]

No butyl/blueskin flashing membrane along the bottom? not even caulking the bottom corners?

[@cindyk4145]

Why did a contractor tell me that i would have to take off my moulding trim around my window and the sill at the bottom wouldnt be there anymore, then he said it would be $65 more in labor to stain n install new trim around the window! And my storm on the outside would be gone and also the outside trim! I see you left all the inside trim there, didnt even take it off!

[@rocomultiservices8094]

Do you have video change the trim and using the metal break?

[@cdismufasa]

Question-if you screw through the frame does that void the warranty?

[@ITWorksSoftware]

You didn't flash the sill or caulk? Yikes.

[@johnsteiner75]

No wonder why so many windows are installed. A lot of things are skipped to ensure it's square and weatherized properly

[@benjaminrodriguez9968]

Hi what if the window I bought is 2 inches higher can I still put it

[@DavidDouglasZach]

Hi Hugo. Thank you for the video it was great. I have a question though. Long story short I am a DIYer. Pretty solid skills. I have windows on my home exactly like the ones in your video and my question is do you, or CAN a person waterproof the sill and/or underneath the exterior trim when replacing a window? I watch a lot of videos on KZbin where there is no siding on the house and therefore people use stretch tape or flashing tape but does a person do this when siding is already on the house? Thank you for any feedback!

[@jonfalero3558]

Hi David my name is John and I'm a professional window installer 20 years and no offense to this video I was curious to see how true this video would be to installing Windows. With all due respect to David oh, I do not know where this video is taken but that is not how you install Windows and the parts he was referring to or not two parts Tory says they go. Depending on where you live in the country the east coast to West Coast codes and construction are different but you can always waterproof your window seals or perimeter of opening before installing a flange window or fin window. I hope this helps you good luck.

[@misaelmartinez87]

What if the window has the outside fins to butt up against the walls then it must be done from the outside right?

[@chrisreynolds2410]

The windows you are talking about w the flanges are generally for “new construction” that get installed before the siding goes on. The replacement windows are done after and slide into place. Look up “new construction window install” and you’ll see the difference. Go gettum tiger!!!!

[@FullPictureMedia]

You can use those. Just cut the flanges off… then install window as normal.

[@andreaberryman5354]

Installers left SUCH big gaps everywhere, by not using 2X4's, when the new windows are so much smaller, you can frame them with 2X4's but they used 1X1, and filled the rest in with gobs of silicone-like an entire INCH of silicone. Honestly, I think the company went cheap. It looks horrible on the outside. Yes, they need to be trimmed still, but such big gaps have me nervous, and I always thought they're supposed to be set IN-these are not even flush with the original siding. To trim them, the whole trim has to be sicking OUT from the original aluminum siding-a horrendous look. Not only that, but they left in the original slanted aluminum-wrapped sill/jambs on the bottom and filled the gap in with caulk. I thought they're supposed to leave the outside framing ALONE....

[@dina_1111]

Is sheet rock needed to help seal a window? I have a window that is cracking in the corner areas, not the glass but the frame of the window. Why is it split/cracked?

[@nikzamora9559]

If you have a newer house it's probably just settling. If there's moisture there then you have an air seal problem there.

[@jaredgilman3955]

A good window without the proper insulation fill between the window frame and the house opening will not make an efficient set up. In fact, it could possibly be a less efficient set up than the original.

The Most important thing to do is make sure the new frame is square by measuring diagonally, if it’s level and plumb it should be square, but sometimes the existing frame is not level and plumb, so you have to decide what looks best in the opening, but the new frame has to be square to operate correctly
