When you put the window in the opening, you used caulking to hold the window in place. I did not see you use any fasteners on the inside or outside to hold the window in place. Is this window held in place by caulking only?
Why when I did search for installing windows this does not come up, I have to have the window distributor send me this?!?! The RU-vid search is broken! This is by far the best video on installing these retrofit windows I have seen and should be at the top of the search results.
Thanks! I've been having problems with the outside sealant drying up and pulling away from the stucco after 5 years on all my windows. Gonna try the CRL polyurethane to see if it's any better.
Good video, but I think you left one very important step out, the weep holes at the bottom, they should be left uncaulked so water doesn't sit inside the bottom rails... no?
Great video, Great looking window, nice looking caulk lines and it surely covers the stucco installation process very well!! I am curious about a few small details that could have been covered here for the home owners attempting to install stucco windows in their homes by themselves and using this video as a guide. Maybe this step was not included in the video during a cut sequence? Was the insulation added between the vinyl and interior walls prior to install of the interior trim?
What would your approach be on a home with stucco and wood window frame that have a wood brick mold that is fastened to the exterior wall as well as the window for mounting ?
Good video, very instructive I'm going to be installing 2 retro windows that way ...I do it the old way by cutting the stucco & then I have to re-stucco a lot more work I have videos on that on my RU-vid channel. Thanks for the tips now I should be able to install a window in under an hour rather than 2 days.. I will make a video on that & I will give you a shout-out. Thanks again.
@@mcola6397 Haha! Seriously? There’s no way it only takes an hour per window, right? My landlord’s changing every window in my apartment tomorrow and this replacement looks very similar to my building: stucco, same kind of windows, etc. She’s saying they can do two apartments per day, seven windows in each apartment. I’m guessing they’ll get half done in a work day. Hope I’m wrong.
I guess you don't foam the existing aluminum window on the inside? Not sure isn't that why people replace the aluminum windows? Due to exterior weather transfer?
Who care what other companies do, worry about the services you provide. If you keep comparing yourself to the competition your just showing how insecure you are in the services you provide.
Why wouldn't you cut your interior trim at 45 degrees for a cleaner corner to match the window frame itself, and maybe I missed something but I didn't see any insulation go in before the interior trim was put on. Otherwise looked pretty good.
Curious how do you like the Simonton Product? I've been thinking of using them for the EXACT SAME APPLICATION 😄😄😄 Using their Madera Series in Bronze...
This guy really doesnt like any other company doing what he does but why did you not miter the corner trim pieces that you installed at the end square cuts look like crap
