How to Replace Block Frame Windows without Disturbing Brick or Siding

This is the best bideo for correct window installation. Most other window installations don't show this kind of waterproofing since the seal is broken once the original window is taken out

Thank you very much for this excellent video. The detail in the animation was superb. Even though I am not planning on replacing my windows as a diy project, I am very concerned about the installation process and options. This answered many of my questions. I am sure most sales reps would not take the time to explain these important details to the customer. I was especially interested to learn about the drywall return installation clips explained at 3:00. I can imagine the horror some customers would feel if a crew showed up and unexpectedly started cutting back their returns. In many cases, that could result in significant loss of depth of the return, making reinstallation of window treatments difficult. In my case, I have a couple windows with ceramic tile returns, and one window with a silestone stool which probably cannot be cut back easily.

Step 2 rough opening verification? Should do that before you rip out. Customer would hate to have a boarded up opening for 4 weeks while you wait for a new window.

What’s a “backer rod”. Maybe we should be very careful not to over tighten the screws so you don’t easily crack the new glass??? Flashing and sealant instructions pretty vague.

Pella doesn't seem to want to answer questions.

That music makes it almost impossible to watch the vidio
