Don't caulk the bottom. You need to have a way for the water to get out if it finds it way in. I'd also do two layers of tape on the sill and cut the corners at right angles to each other.

I really appreciate people who take the time to share these kinds of videos. This was a really good example. Very thorough

[jackylsmith]

Never caulk the bottom nor put the water proof tape over the bottom flange. You need water to get out that way. It is recommended by most window installers to put a small U shim under the bottom flange to allow water to escape if it ever got in.

Hey sir, I just changed my window out thanks to your video I was able to successfully complete the installation. Thank you so much.

a great way to make caulking (sealant) look clean and straight is to use an empty caulking tube and running it along the bead. After tooling it, it will look very nice. I do this every time I install windows.

Thankful this was the first video I saw and was not disappointed. Especially in his little joke about the caulking and leaks😂

[danielbutcher]

That tape trick when sealing the trim is genius. thanks for sharing.

Gotta say. I'm looking into replacing my windows myself after this video. I thought it would be impossible for me to do it myself but I can easily follow this video and save thousands. Thanks!

The only question I have is this. If the old window is larger than the new window, what extra steps need to be taken? Does the wood framing need to be the exact size of the window (snug fit when placed in the hole) or should there be a gap between the window and the frame?

My only fear is that I will have too small of a hole and the window will fit now that it's cold out but will not be able to open when it gets hot out in the summer.

I’m buying a home and will be moving in next month. One thing I know I’m going to be replacing is the windows. You video makes it look sooo easy! I hope it is, I’ve never done anything like this before and have no one to help me. Google all the way.

[webmastercaribou]

Thanks for the refresher course, i haven't replaced a window in 40 years. Time to get busy again, i don't think I will be around for the next window replacement.

[OrionConstellationHome]

Great wideo, Thanks! I love expression on your face at 8:10. Yes, turcoise will be great color! Thanks for showing flushing tips and silicon under the window.
