What's up guys, in this video I replace old wood windows with United window and door vinyl replacement window from Lowe's.
The United window is vinyl, double hung and come with 10 year warranty. The sashes tilt for easy clean up and comes with 2 trim pieces.
I typically install the Pella 150 series windows ( • Pella- How to install ... ), but they were out of stock and I had to get a job done, so I opted for the United Window Pro series, which is equal in grade to the Pella 150.
The United Window felt very similar to the Pella 150 in weight and quality. There were two main differences between the two and I point that out in the video.
As far as installation, the process is fairly straight forward. Once you replace one vinyl window, they all install the same. In this installation video I do remove the sashes to make the window lighter to handle.
The United window comes with the hardware necessary to install and two trim pieces meant to be used on the bottom or/and the top if necessary.
I hope you find this video helpful for your project, and as always leave me a comment , if you have any questions.

Hello, This is straight up one of the ONLY videos I've found that replaces a window similar to the one I have (wood sash, aluminum track) with a new vinyl one. Very informative, thank you!

@TrueGritDevelopment 5 месяцев назад

Love to hear that man, gd luck with your project 👊🏼

@carolhildebrand8360 11 месяцев назад

At the end of the video you show what the screws on the outside frame, one on each side halfway up, what they are used for! Thank you, nobody else explains that. I could not find that on the Pella site, I also went back to Lowes and the assistant there at the time didn't know. Thanks

I just got new windows, my old ones were just like this, they pulled out the stops on all the windows, which were in good shape. they put in the replacement ones window, didnt use any flashing, i asked him if i should get it, he said no. Then they didnt use any adhesive to the inside, i asked about that he said, they caulk outside of it. They put foam on sides, then they made some wooden trim to frame it in the outside, then, they caulked all around the trim. This was a contractor. I do have weep holes, so i hope i dont have issues…

@cindyk4145 3 месяца назад

I did paint all my sills before they put in new windowd to protect them from moisture.

@TrueGritDevelopment 3 месяца назад

Good on you for doing that. Co tractors do the minimum. Caulk will dry over time. In my view, what is the harm in putting down flashing tape? It’s also recommended. Don’t worry, chances are you will be ok, it’s just an added precaution.

Thank you for this video! I have a 8 windows that are the old wood windows with the aluminum track with the springs. Unfortunately one of my cats broke the window luckily I have the storm windows. Im hoping to start working one the broken window soon. You have explained alot and helped ease my mind, now I feel confident with replacing the window

@TrueGritDevelopment 3 месяца назад

Glad it helped! Once you do one, you’ll find it’s much easier than it looks. Good luck 👊🏼

@offidano8821 Месяц назад

Would have loved to see the removal of the storm window frame.

@TrueGritDevelopment Месяц назад

My bad. I basically sat on the sill (be careful and make sure you balance your weight so not to tip over) and unscrewed the storm frame. Where the screws were stripped I used a drill bit to drill through the screw. That’s pretty much it really. Hope this helps.

All of the questions I've had concerning replacement windows were answered here in this very short time!!! Thank you!!! But my windows are .25 inch smaller than the opening! Is this, OK? Everything is square

@TrueGritDevelopment 6 месяцев назад

Glad you found your answers. Yes, that’s fine. Thanks for watching 👊🏼

@mattibaol Месяц назад

Great video! This gives me the confidence to try window replacement in my house. Wondering if after your experience with both brands, next time would you choose the Pella or United if they are both available? Pella seems to be about 25% more expensive from what I’m seeing, worth the premium in your opinion?

@TrueGritDevelopment Месяц назад

Thank you. Very gd question. They are comparable, maybe the Pella edges the United, if I had to choose. I felt the Pella were a bit more sturdy. If you’re on a budget, you are fine with the United. Hope this helps.

So, double hung windows means that both window sections can move up or down independently? (Or slide, if they’re Sliders?) thanks for showing us!

@TrueGritDevelopment 9 месяцев назад

That’s correct.👍🏼. Thanks for watching

@stevenziegler2523 Месяц назад

Could you show us how to measure the windows so you know what to order?

@TrueGritDevelopment Месяц назад

Here is a link to my Pela 150 installation where I show how to measure for the window: Pella- How to install vinyl replacement window Pella 150 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sDCmXNTiTXw.html

@stevenziegler2523 Месяц назад

Thank u. Why did you not remove the pella windows like u did with the united when u installed it.

@TrueGritDevelopment Месяц назад

You mean the sashes? Either way is fine. Removing the sashes makes the window lighter, but you have to pay close attention to ensure it’s square and sashes operate smoothly. I’ve also been dealing with back problems, so these days I try to work around heavier loads.

@BassAmateur99 9 месяцев назад

Ive watched a bunch of these types of videos and you're the only one I've seen that doesn't use expanding foam around the window , Is there a reason why?

@TrueGritDevelopment 9 месяцев назад

I do, but don’t cover that in the video. I have another video where I install Pella 150 series windows and I show that there. One tip when using foam is to go lite, so the window has room to expand in the Summer. You may also use backer board or bat foam insulation.

@fattyratz2474 5 месяцев назад

Can you do a video on how to wrap the outside frame in aluminum?

@TrueGritDevelopment 5 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I do not do that work. You will need a breaker tool to bend aluminum. You can rent the tool BTW. It’s not difficult, but requires precise measuring and basic understanding of angled cuts and tucking. Nowadays, many contractors and swapping with pvc or Azek trim for exterior. Thanks for watching.

@sheltdog8463 10 месяцев назад

You wanna talk about a window replacement mess. My parents decided to replace the windows in their house. These windows had storm windows also and the had the aluminum frames and they had no brick moulding on the exterior, why I don’t know but every house in the neighborhood that is brick was built the same way. So they hire a company and a guy comes out and takes measurements. I believe it took a couple months to have them made. Well the windows are ready and a contractor shows up with a boat load of windows. So the crew pulls out the first window located in the living room and it’s a double window. So it gets pulled and they go to install the replacement and it doesn’t fit! They go and get another double window and it doesn’t fit either. The lead guy goes and measures all the windows and goes out to the replacements that he has and not a single window will work! The guys were able to get the living room window temporary installed and makes the call to the shop and relays the news. The next day another guy shows up and retakes all the window measurements and apologized to my parents and told them he would put a rush order in for the new ones. They did get all the windows replaced on the second go around. This company lost their butts on that job which was around & $25K!!!

@TrueGritDevelopment 10 месяцев назад

So typical of window companies! They sub everything out and the profit margin is ridiculous. Glad your parents got their windows!

How do you put the screen back on

@TrueGritDevelopment 15 дней назад

Try putting in one side then the other. Do this from inside the room.

@christopherdekonstrukt444 3 месяца назад

The window in my study was installed poorly by a previous owner and looks like they cut the nailing fin off except at the top. So I'm treating it as a replacement window. Perfectly good window just was installed poorly.

@TrueGritDevelopment 3 месяца назад

Maybe they bought a new construction window to use for a replacement window job?

@zephyr1408 5 месяцев назад

Is cutting a new hole in a old house considered new construction window?

@TrueGritDevelopment 5 месяцев назад

If there is no siding. The new construction window comes with a nail flange that goes against the framing. See my other window replacement window, Pella 150 series from Lowe’s. I discuss the new construction window. Thanks for watching 👊🏼
