How to Replace Water Damaged Window Sill and Trim

In this video, I fix my rotted wood window sill and trim. Parts of the wood were so saturated with water that they felt like a sponge so I decided to change out all four pieces. I wanted to make sure that this window was water proofed as much as possible so I added a few extra things. To the top I added a rain cap then extra caulking and Flex Tape to seal the window.

Nice Job, only recommendation I would have, coming from a window install/weather barrier exterior guy, is that the bottom flange/sill of a window should practically never be caulked or taped shut, in fact it's highly recommended to push a few horseshoe shims up under the flange to leave a drain space. On this sort of fix, your best bet without pulling the windows entirely is to at least try to slip that tape up underneath the bottom flange, and then tape the top and sides, that way you also don't end up with an exposed backwards lap/ horizontal extrusion like you have with the bottom tape, which is also a big no-no, even with most real weather barrier systems' tape, because when the glue ages, or if it's not fully adhered, water WILL get behind it. I highly recommend that people not take lightly the process of doing your windows right, because done wrong, water or moisture will 100% be either seeping into your house from around the window, or sitting rotting out your sill. I was doing this work in Washington state, so yeah let's just say I seen some rain a time or two.

@paulaavery1518 Месяц назад

@ravennewton7556 Месяц назад

Thank you for these comments, as I agree it would be an improvement. I was watching this at the 16:30 mark and had the exact same thoughts about it being better to have either an extra piece of tape behind the window edge and over his main tape barrier, or have the single bottom tape barrier go behind the bottom edge of the window. Probably would need to pry that edge out a tiny bit to achieve this. Overall, this appears to be a nice explanation and process he is using here.

@saltwaterpurl Месяц назад

Thank you for saying this! I would have taken out the whole sill too.

@lucaskennedy1799 Месяц назад

So I fully understand, if using the tape, it should tuck under the lip of the window, correct? He puts it over and that cand lead to water going back in or just staying?

@BFVsnypEz 26 дней назад

@@lucaskennedy1799 it WILL lead to water staying inside the window if there is ANY moisture or water that gets in, which can happen easily if there is any small hole or crack, water will find its way in, and the water will sit and rot the window sill, or maybe even overflow back inside your house into the drywall if there is no water backstop. The bottom of the outside of the window should be left open, usually just put shims under and screw the flange down, but inside the house, the bottom of the window should be fully caulked and sealed.

@lennyf1957 11 месяцев назад

28:55 that hole really should have been pre-drilled. The screw threads are biting into the sill more than they are pulling into the plywood behind it. The general rule is, you drill or nail from the smaller timber into the larger timber, but since you cannot in this case, it's even more important to pre-drill.

@charlescarlson1290 4 дня назад

Nice job and very helpful. One criticism I would make is that I frequently see people thinking that they are going to seal wood up to make it water proof and that’s simply not practically possible. The biggest thing is to have way for the water to get out so that the wood dries out, and water always has an “easy” escape route and a harder ingress route. The best thing you did on the project was install the drip cap and then the plastic moisture barrier all of which is designed to move the water away from penetrating the house. Painting the end grain is good too! But any place water accumulates is a potential problem. In any case, it looks to me like you shouldn’t have to touch this again over the course of your life time.

@craigsmith3645 11 месяцев назад

Great job! If you do any more windows, leave a gap from the bottom of the shingles and the drip cap. This way water won't wick up behind the shakes. I had to redo a couple of mine because they were touching and wicking water up behind the shakes in heavy rains - fortunately I saw it before any permanent damage was done.

hi, do you men do not puch the cap all the way in? after this video i going to do my 14 windows..

@saltwaterpurl Месяц назад

@@bel2665yes… the water will wick up behind there. A larger gap will help the water fall away. Any situation like this should have a gap, but with wood siding, AND end grain, it’s extra necessary. Hopefully the flex tape holds, and he will only have to replace that little top strip of shakes above the window. There are better brands of tape with adhesive that lasts longer, and generally it is pushed down with a hard rubber roller. Regarding the water gap… if you remember back in school the water molecule has a positive charge on one side and negative on the other, like a Lego. This allows water to hold onto itself, and it will create layers of molecules called water films. This works with layers over layers UNTIL the weight of the water is too much and the water falls away (aka water drips). If the water has something hard to cling to on both sides and that gap is narrow, then the number of water films needed to fill the gap is lower, and the weight of the films is never enough to drip. 😉

Looks great and wow was that trim rotten. Just a suggestion from what I've always been told, the drip cap on top of the top trim should have a 1/4" to 3/8" gap above it so that water can run out easily and won't wik up keeping the bottom of the siding shingles wet.

@frannypalmer2726 10 месяцев назад

I don't have all of those fancy tools and at my age I don't want to spend money on them. That angle on the bottom of the trim pieces threw me for a loop. I cut it as best as I could then used a belt sander on low until I got it close enough. Thanks for the video. I always learn from these videos.

Conditions are harsh and my wooden porch’s time is running out but also so much more to do to prevent further damage. I’ve never done diy before and have so much to learn, apparently there are different types of sandpaper for different jobs! Oh yes my lack of knowledge is as bad as that 🤦‍♀️

@mf_rat 6 месяцев назад

@@sheenavaughan2717 It might be a bit more time intensive, but useful to pre-paint the wood before you assemble everything. I had a rotten door frame due to rain (UK too) and painted the replacement timber to prevent rot even if there is water ingress. Sound counterintuitive but masonry paint works for that, since it's made to create a waterproof layer.

@JohnnieBravo1 11 месяцев назад

This was awesome! Last year, I redid sills in windows in front of my house almost just like you did. They were rotted all the way across, and then about 4 inches up each side. I learned Lowes has mill lumber that matched the pattern of the uprights. Using pressure treated 2X's, I also had to match angles on the sill. Mine turned out to be 10 degrees, not 15, but my house is 1990 vintage. I had no training, or any direction whatsoever, I just decided to try it and see how it would turn out (and no way could I do it without that handy dandy oscillating tool).

@kookiedabear 6 месяцев назад

While rot doesn't migrate, it does attract undesirable pests, such as roaches and other bugs. While it's not fun and more work, the best approach would have been to pull the window and replace all of the damage for a long-term solution. The flex tape you installed will prevent any trapped water from escaping, whereby allowing an unknown water leak within the wall. Best practice is to have a 1/8" gap on the bottom flange.

Watched you video on redoing the cellar bulkhead door and learned a lot; still need to work on phase two of that this summer. Also need to do the window repair. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I love flex tape too, it currently makes up a sizeable portion of my motorcycle cover because I don't want to replace it yet but it works flawlessly!

Great video. I just came across your channel and as someone who has worked on anything with an engine and can make a lot out of metal I never really got into the wood material building type stuff. But with a really old house I have to start taking care of some things. The way I've seen your videos explain all the steps is great for someone like me. Gives me hope that an ol dummy like me can do it.

Nice work sir! I would like to suggest you try Quad 400 instead of Alex caulk. It's a superior product for exterior work but it is NOT water clean up. Again, very nice work and great attention to details. Thank you.

Thorough and precise. You are a very skilled artisan. Your channel is as good as "This Old House".
