The New 100-Year Window by Hull Millwork. Our answer to the problem of disposable windows.

[@Cbappliance]

That’s awesome. Good American craftsmanship.

[@BrentHull]

Thanks! We're very excited and proud.

I just discover your channel, have been watching daily. Being a DIY'er will be building my finally small retirement place with woodshop. I want to learn about building windows like yours, wondering if there are any "How to" books on making either single or double sash windows. My place will be only 32'x70'x12' which includes shop wanting to give it that old Farmhouse or Country House looks, any book recommendations would be helpful. Dang love your work, and all info you provide.

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for watching. I'll work on something that can help. Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like a great project.

A candidate for a lifetime warranty? But should it be transferable if the property changes hands?

[@BrentHull]

We stand behind the window for 100 years. . . assuming it is maintained. Doesn't matter the number of owners. Thanks!

@@BrentHull Brent, I know you have a very good self-image, but I don't think you are going to live for another 100 years, no matter how highly you think of yourself (to make sure the company fulfills your commitment), just saying. All kidding aside - I think you are on the right track. I wish more customers were willing to invest in their homes and want to build something that will be around and in great shape 100 years from now. People pay BIG lip service to "green" and "sustainability", but use products that won't last 20 years. It doesn't make sense!

[@taylore2003]

Whats the flashing detail on these windows? The casing is built in and there is no flange correct?

[@BrentHull]

We've taken an old school approach. No flange, instead the blind stop extends across and is nailed to the framing. All this can then be flashed or taped depending on your preference. I hope to have a video on it soon.

@@BrentHull can't wait! Love these windows!

[@bradthompson4257]

Really appreciate the knowledge you share. What type of primers do you recommend for old windows? Oil or latex? Do you recommend the Sarco glazing putty?

[@BrentHull]

Thanks! We like oil based primers but I think the quality difference between oil and latex has shrunk quite a bit. We do like Sarco putty as well as Dap 33. We lean towards Sarco.

Directly from the website under the warranty section: "Material and Workmanship Warranty: 5 years" - 100 year window my ass 😅

[@BrentHull]

Ha Ha, yeah lawyers. Keep this window painted and it will last 100 years. I guarantee it. 😀

[@ryananthony4840]

Haha!😂😂 They'll last..... The man is a MASTER!

[@McVaio]

It always pains me to see how ugly modern (replacement) windows look. This is great work! I'd even build a brand-new house with these windows rather than modern mass-production ones.

[@BrentHull]

100% Thanks!

[@KCkohler]

Common give us a price. Probably 2500$ windows.

[@BrentHull]

Well as you might guess, the price varies by project. But $2500 is a good starting price. What we have found is that for a standard 3x5 window a good rough price is $3000.

[@KCkohler]

That’s what I figured. I’m sure they are well worth the price considering the quality and time going into these but unfortunately way out side of my budget.

[@gregschoolland5551]

@@KCkohler Kasey, can I ask what kind of project you are thinking about? Let’s have a conversation about who these windows would be right for. I’m a general contractor in CA, and 90% of our projects are nail on vinyl windows. So, I’m not judging. I’m just feeling myself starting to think more critically about why I make the choices I make about what products go into our homes.

[@KCkohler]

I’m a home owner of a house build in 1994 brick siding. Original windows in poor shape the sash is wood but the side track is vinyl they don’t close properly and very difficult to open. I’m wanting to replace 28 windows. I’ve been looking at Marvin windows though and about a 1/3 of them will be picture frame windows because I have no reason to ever open them.

[@gregschoolland5551]

@@KCkohler Are you working with a contractor? Can you tell us what line of Marvin windows you’re looking at and how much they cost?
