I’ve been installing for 23 years this guy is spot on. Great job Ron. Best install on you tube.
This was not long and drawn out! I love it! I just purchased my 2nd fixer-upper and I and determined to save more by doing many projects myself! This was truly helpful! I'm confident I can do this myself!!
Thank you so much Mr.Ron this so helpful to my husband and I .We bought an older home a few years back and we need to replace the windows .They are the original windows of the home built in 1928 .We are grateful for your help .thank you for all your time you take to show us how to remodel our home .I like how professional you are when doing your remodel projects.take care.
Great video. I have been working carpentry for a long time but like watching how to videos and always learning new techniques. Thank you.
Great video. Very thorough and easy to follow.
Best video on the topic of installing replacement style videos!
Excellent presentation. I'm all set to tackle this project now. Thank you sir.
most informative video i have see yet on replacements .. thanks
I've never installed windows before, so I've watched a bunch of videos before attempting here. This is the best video I've come across. Thanks!
Howd it go?
@@mattbraga4033 the windows are smooth functioning and sealed, so I'd say it went well. Any issues would be invisible to others, haha. I made a point to really take my time putting them in and to remeasure and take a sip of coffee between each step.
Soooo awesome watching you and learning!
Nice demo. Hits all the right points. If I follow your method, I know I'll be happy with my results. Thanks.
Fantastic video, thank you Mr. Ron I follow all your instructions and install my first Window thank you for all your help.
Ron, I'm impressed with this video, good job on showing how and outstanding additional information! Throwing your professional van with the side opening toolboxes, outstanding!
As always, Ron, your presentation is informative and entertaining. Scott
Very well articulated and to the point.
Great instruction , easy to understand. Thanks
Excellent video Ron video thank you !!!!!
Great video
Great video !
I am about to do this to one of my boy’s rooms. Looks straightforward. Thank you.
let me know how it works out for u. I am interested in trying this.
Your good man!!!! 👍🏻🙏🏻
100/10 amazing vid and window,love it 🤩😍
I am so glad you showed the part about how to remove a screw covered in paint! That is what happens in the real world!
Nice video Ron....
Very nice video
Great video, I’m curious to know how to measure the window so I can pickup the correct size? I currently have Pella double pane windows that have haze on the inside pane.
Thank you
thank you
You are lucky....your window fitted the opening. Your brick moulding and sill aren't rotten either like mine. I had to order special size windows and nail them into the original 2x4 wall framing
this guy is more pleasant to watch than Bob Villa.
Nice craftsman impact gun and I know that’s a craftsman. I’ve been using them for years 19.2.
My windows are on the third floor. Can I leave the storms in place, making the job a bit easier?
I need help with replacing windows surrounded by Asbestos panels. In particular, a window has a wall-unit AC, and it is slowly, over time pulling the rotting ceal further outside causing the stoop to rot. Any tips?
I had an Andersen Rep come by but I never got a straight answer about what I was going to have to do when the replacement windows are installed. Looks to me that you will need to do some trim painting on the interior and likely going to have to do all of the trim so that it properly matches.
Most people don't realize there are little gnomes that come by at night and drill tiny holes in the glass, thereby releasing the argon gas and nullifying the insulative affect.. so next time you feel a draft.. you can curse those little gnomes for that..
Wholesome AF and very informative
did not realize that this was so easy.
Thanks for making this "for Dummies" (like me)..other vids had my head spinning
You make it look easy. I have 12 window in my house that is single pane I think it's over 40 years old. The house is very closed to busy street and traffic noise are killing me. I think I am going to upgrade it to double pane insulated window to keep the house little quiet. I don't how difficult this would be.
Those are some nice windows! I was wondering how to do the window from inside only. What was the brand of that aluminium tape? It looked like it said Pella on it.
Do you have links to any of the products you used? (like the tape and the sealant you put on the outside)?
I'm in a very old house (built in the 30s or 40s). Windows are metal & don't even have trim around them on the inside. Had the siding redone so they have J-channel around the perimeter. Inside some of the windows just have wall paneling cut roughly around (bc tenants ruined the walls) & no trim.
One of the windows I need to replace will be inside a shower so I'm trying to figure out how to frame it out to work with a surround and a mustee duratrim window trim kit (made of thermoplastic).
Classic video
how do you finish interior? put back stoppers?
I like his van and have never seen one with toolbox doors as he has.
Gotta admit that was pretty cool definitely customized.
Does anyone get the idea he just wanted to show off his remote control side panels on his van?
The plastic "rope" around the corner of replacement window, should not be cut until caulking and shims are done. With storm windows in the 1980's, removing this rope too early, will cause alignment problems. This rope is what holds the strom window aligned. Am I right Ron? The manufacturer warns installer, to remove when almost done. Be careful you are measuring jam to jam, sash strip can cause problems measuring.
Measuring tips to ensure you buy the correct replacement size???
Good video. I like to buy windows from Dako.
good video. very informative. Ryobi must be a sponsor and I'll leave it there.
I thought you were gonna say the most annoying piece of mail was the one from Anderson windows renewal by Andersen asking you if you want to get your windows changed
I can understand why the outside bottom of window may require some attention due to the sill angle not matching the replacement window; but, having difficulty visualizing what you were filling on the sides of the window since it was installed against the outside stops. Thanks.
thank you , come over anytime you want , i appreciate the help.
What model is the window you installed?
Hello great video. However i do have one question. What is the depth of the double hung window? 3" or 3 1/2". Are most depths 3" on newer replacement windows? Therefore you will have a 1/2'' gap between the step sill and the double hung window... How do you fix this gap between the step sill and the window? Replace the sill?
Most replacement windows come with a half inch plastic strip that slides on the bottom of the window before you install. That way it covers that gap and then just caulk around the window.
Very nice and very good information. I can't find one of those Grabber Bits however. Can someone point me to where I buy one. Thanks.
Phil
I'm pretty sure that's an alternate name for screw extraction bit. Hardware stores have them (in kits)
Very informative video, with only a minor correction which I'm sure was just a simplification. Obviously 'warm air' does not pass through single pane glass.
What happens here is 2 fold. First off, the single pane of glass easily transfers the heat on one side of the glass to the other. It also does nothing to block infrared light from passing through. The double layer of glass prevents direct heat transfer from the outside air to the inside air, and also reflects infrared light, keeping heat energy inside in the winter and outside in the summer.
Over all, great video!
You forgot a very important part. You never explained or showed how to determine the size of the window to get.
You can find the details of how to measure the size of the replacement windows from Ask This Old House

@@fengtaowang5348 They say measure twice, cut once. How about, measure 8x, take lowest number, and order with prayers. 3x horizontal , 3x vertical, twice on both diagonals. The lowest horizontal and vertical is your order. Horizontal and vertical is sill, middle, and stop(at top). But review video, and write down on a piece of paper to take your data sample. Be very careful
@@daibones2133 When he saws measure three times, I think he is talking about the three different spot locations left , middle , and right for both the horizontal and vertical measurements. Basically,, if the measurements are not the same then that means that the space you are measuring is not square. You choose the lowest measurement for the value to use on both the vertical and horizontal measurements. This will ensure that the window will at least fit in the space.
I believe some will already have the window or measurements. Preferred video like this short on time sometimes. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Helpful video but how did you measure for that window?
You can measure yourself. It's not hard, but if you're buying them from Pella, then there's no need to do so. Have Pella come to your house and measure. Installation is a separate cost. Just buy the windows and then install them yourself. That's how I did it.
Ron, Can you please tell me exactly which tools I need to buy for this project? Thank you.
His New Life a window, a jack hammer, super glue and a chicken.
@@bababooey1266 Too Funny, Bro
Do you service in Louisiana
Is that tape up to code nowadays?
Ron, you do great work, i can hardly tell it from a good job.
at 3:55 you checked the stool level, not the sill.
If you pay attention, you’ll see he places his level behind to stool, up against it, but on the sill.
Why doesn't anyone show how to install a replacement arched window? I have an arched (half circle) window in a stucco wall I need to replace and I'd love to see a video but can't find anything on it.
Cheap drills , did a good job lol
the windows with mullion strips on the outside are harder to clean
I have US property, accessible from the Canadian side. I have to cross the boarder, then take a boat to our property. Nice windows, but if they can’t installed them, they won’t sell them. Crazy. I guess I will skip the install fee for a contractor as I built the house. Yes, it has reclaimed single pane windows in it now, but it gets cold. I guess bears and company policy make it scary to accomplish!
My new double hung window has a device that must have been used to keep the window shut during shipping, it is stuck between the locks between the top and bottom window. How do I remove it so that I can open my window?
I think there’s a reason the energy efficiency information on the sticker was blacked out. Those windows are the low grade standard Pella window. Not efficient at all. They don’t even have an energy star certification...
How long does this take to do?
If you never did it, considering tools, tape equipment, many hours. If you have a mentor who has done it, still lots of hours. But do it, these guys are making $300 an hour installing.
Why is there a gap when this thing fits inside and against the stop and how or why would you put sealant in the stop if the gap needed backer rod? Looks like an incorrectly sized window.
@mandingoteck dailey Exactly, would have been nice to see the guy measure for proper size for opening for expansion
Really professional install. I wonder how many installer's do this level of work?
Where is the foam backer and non-expanding foam, window wrap tape? Caulk does a poor job of filling in the cracks, don't bet solely on caulk. Old school install.
Can I remove the window shims after the foam dries up. I want to foam where the shims where then replace the screws.
It looks like putting a smaller window unit inside the old window frame
This is so 90’s
All my windows guys say that PVC and Vinyl windows are superior to Wood. I really dislike the way Vinyl and some PVC look. Plus when things go wrong they cost a fortune to replace. Wood is at every builder supply and so easy and inexpensive to replace. Here in GA I we do not have energy concerns as much as up North where you deal with extreme temp changes. I often wonder if expensive windows really pay off? I did the math once and it would have taken me 30 years to break even with PVC windows. So I just replaced my broken sealed windows with same wood (cost me 200 bucks over 800) plus I have so many clients who spend thousands of dollars in new windows only to learn a few years later when a seal breaks that it isn't covered under the warranty! Just had a client learn that with Anderson Windows.. they charged him $$$. I was so angry for him. He paid the 1200 to have the windows replaced. So anyone looking at replacing those windows better have a good look at the warranty and do the math with supposed energy savings and cost factor.
You’re right, replacement windows never pay off. You’ll never make the money back on your power bill, even if you install them yourself. Plus, they don’t last nearly as long as non-vinyl. Better to rebuild old ones. The most expensive replacement window, double-paned and vacuum sealed with noble gases between the panes, is about an R6. The wall next to it is an R10, even if there’s no insulation. If you’re replacing windows because you’re environmentally conscious, there is an embedded energy cost in the manufacture, shipping and installation of the windows themselves that you will never offset with the energy you save. Window marketing has been amazingly successful. Vinyl replacements should be an absolute last resort.
Since I replied to this comment I have had a buyer looking in the 2 Million and above market here in Atlanta. Well, I have made note of the style of windows. All of them had run of the mill Wood windows that you buy/order at the builder supply. Only one had custom Iron windows (and I actually think they were painted Aluminum) and that was only at the front of the house and they matched and the rest were painted Black (wood). We are talking 2.3 Million dollar new construction home. So, I think for sure I will stick with my simple Wood double hung windows. Everytime a client tells me they spend 20 K replacing windows I think, "I hope you enjoyed them because a buyer is only going to care that you have windows and they are not going to pay 20 K more for your home because you have them"... Just a hard convo to have with Sellers sometimes...
So I’m sure the price of windows has gone up since this was posted but wood is definitely not cheaper than vinyl, at least in my area. They are hundreds more than the low E double hung vinyl. I paid, with tax, slightly over $200. I would have loved wood double hung but can’y afford that. Good thing my house is well insulated
Does anyone at (4:09) get the idea he just wanted to show off his remote control side panels on his van?
👍
We have old windows. Last week, I did a big dooty in our downstairs bathroom. Clogged the toilet and all. I’ll be watching your video on how to unclog a toilet since it’s been sitting for a week. Anyways, I didn’t even open the window and my wife said I stunk up the outside backyard. I think the windows need replacing since there is a draft outside.
Is the same shit old or new i change my Windows and the bill is the same nothing change
how do you measure your windows
I prefer a tape measure.
That ancient TV is so distracting.
You didn’t talk about how you measured for a new window
Ron, I'd bet 5 dollars you had to rip the interior mullion strips?
"Pella" and "state of the art" don't belong in the same sentence. May as well get your windows at the Dollar Store.
``😵❗❔
I have friends that work at the Carroll Iowa Pella plant and they feel that the windows they make are super cheap.
@@Robert-sw1xx - I think many of them are. Here in California they sell many _Milgard_ brand
Why didn't you get a white window? Doesn't match anything.
checking for square on an already 'square pre-made window is really not needed, as it's already square.

Aluminum clad Pella... 90 million $$$ lawsuit settled finally last yr, 10,000 people on the suit for this windows constant wood rot. Aluminum expands at different rates than wood thus allowing moisture in between the aluminum and wood.
Good thing those are vinyl 👍🏻
@@vincentbrandstadter4491 nope the new window is Pella’s aluminum clad, not sure why you say they’re vinyl
@@joereeder you are probably correct. I thought he said it was a vinyl window for easy cleaning.
...and describes Low-E coating as if it were something additional to what he just described prior. Nope, both the same thing
It’s not always that easy. When you’ve got a concrete block stucco houses is a completely different story windows in wooden houses are different vinyl siding houses are different condos are different picture windows are different and on and on
I opened my car but didn't find any aluminum tape. What should I do?
Quickly induce vomiting.
Try fucking yourself
@@mikemike9501 Wow. what a loser.
Deal Estate Inc. fuck off brian
Great installation !!
I can tell your caulking ability is poor but over all good job 👍
I’m a pella window installer my self .
That is not how you apply the flashing
This is replacing a replacement window... there is no flanges as with many new construction windows.
Say what? Elaborate, please.
@@abigailarizmendi1261 He means if you are ordered a new window, make sure it's a replacement window. Not new construction which have nailing flanges and are installed from the outside.
@@bernardbarn, gotcha! So what happens if I order new construction? Sorry about all the questions. I'm just curious to know.
@@abigailarizmendi1261 New construction windows will come with nailing flanges, which means you would have to remove siding to install. It's better to order replacement windows if you are changing them out as the majority of the work can be done from the inside.
@@bernardbarn, I saw a few videos of people replacing their windows from the outside. The new windows had the nailing flange. Of course, I saw videos of people replacing their windows from the inside also. Is there q difference between the two as far as efficiency and quality?
2:22 I call bull shit! the paint seal was broken around the screw ! The only way to do that is if the screw was removed already and they put it back in .so now it comes out easy for the video!!!!
Pella is literally the worst...expensive and way over engineered. Replacement parts are over priced as they use their own proprietary hardware.
Nothing special about them tipping out to clean.....even cheap windows from the 80's will do this.
A single pane of glass has the same R value no matter what its mounted in, so these plastic windows are Not more energy efficient than wood, Also, wood windows last for centuries when maintained & plastic windows last about 10-15 years then they are landfill material!
True, but these are more energy efficient because they have less space between them and it is filled with gas. A lot of times, the storm windows are not fully sealed so air exchanges easier and the gap between the windows is much larger and less ideal.
When you replace the window, there were no problems in leveling and plumbing ans shimming the new window. You should have shown the techniques required rather than simply stating...It's all good...The reason for these videos is not to remove and replace, but to remove, shim, level, plum, level, then replace... You are misleading the public!
+george nemeth Ron Hazelton has been on TV for a long time. These clips are short because they tend to show you the basic jist of the repair or project. They probably didn't cover that for the sake of time as they typically show multiple projects each show.
Ron...Ron...Ron. Replacing your windows will not decrease dramatically your electric bills. Energy leakage from other areas must also be addressed such as bad air seals on doors, attics, and electric outlets. How much did those Pellas cost/window? How many years is the warranty? You made it look so easy and fast, but how long before the seal for the argon gas fails, moisture gets inside, rots the wood, and you have to replace them again...and again...and again. They sound like disposable, non-sustainable windows to me. Instead of trashing the old wood windows, you could have taken the time investment to strip the failing paint we saw, repaint and reglaze the existing wood windows to fix the air leaks. Installing good weatherization products could further improve the air seal.Then invest in some high quality storm windows like Monray which don't detract from the design of the original windows. Is ease and time saving of cleaning really your second criteria for your windows?
I had that type of window installed in my house a few years ago, and it was the difference in being warm and freezing, the old windows would actually have ice build up on the inside, and always had a cold draft, no matter how warm the room was.
My house is almost 100 years old. I think the windows are original. I'm only slightly joking. Half were replaced at some point. The rest are SO bad that cardboard would probably give us better energy savings. The glass is SO thin. My daughter was making a TikTok video and trying to stand on her head on her bed...walking her feet up the wall, and then the window. Foot went through, blood everywhere, and a gash that missed her Achilles by a couple of mm. I'm watching a lot of window replacement videos and thinking I'd even take the ones they're pulling out! LOL
Annoying music.
