Any advice on how/tools to create a new slot for screen knife latches aka butterfly knife blade latches? Usually they are on Andersen screens. TY!
I used a heat gun it turned the rubber soft and helped quite a bit. But the ice pick looks like a good idea
@@davide6844 that is not a bad idea either!
Whats a standard screen to buy for home window screens? Fiberglass, pet resistant, extra strength, small insect, polyester, etc? So confused at Home Depot
@@amohvac27 charcoal fiberglass is the standard screen for homes.
@@amohvac27 fiberglass is the standard screen. 🤗
@ I bought the charcoal standard fiberglass recommended spline .140 but its very thin and broke off the window frame to easily when pushed. I think I’m gonna go return it tomorrow and buy the extra strength. The trial and error process has begun for me. Thank you for the recommendation and reply Bro 🙏
@@amohvac27 just get a thicker spline. Try to find a plastic roller make sure not to use a metal one. The extra strength is better but make sure to charge more for it.
What is the price range for that cool machine?
1:27 Thats so cool you just gave us a tip on why you would charge that price per window screen. Not many people share the business that says alot about you. I wish you much success. This helps us newbies alot.
1:30 Ive never seen these screen cleaning machines. 👍
Im on a marathon watching all your videos now. Awesome channel 👏👏👏
@@amohvac27 thank you so much for your encouragement and support I appreciate your time! 🫡
I just found your channel as I just contemplated starting a window screen hustle going last night. This is by far the best detailed channel I found. 🙏👏 Im in Southern California and know nothing about the business but you just inspired me to do it. Can you please make a video for someone like me on how you get started as far as business license, material, mesh styles to buy, types of metal frames, where to buy the product for inventory, etc. Thank you so much in advance.
@@amohvac27 where at in Southern California?
@ Woah, such a fast reply. You’re the best!!! Im in Los Angeles.
@ nice!! You can order materials from Active window products.
Where would you orders supplies for southern Utah?
where do you buy the parts
Where do you order your supplies from? Thanks
@@JoeCardoso-bs5iv a local place.
Great video! Im starting a repair biz in Hawaii. Curious, what would you charge for that screen? Thanks in advance
@@WindwardWaterSports we charge $75 on our mobile side and $50 in our shop
Thank you! This was such a great how to!
@@marysdairy3753 thank you for your encouragement!
Hey Josh, ts my first time trying sorbo. I got a quicksilver and I notice the rubber that comes with which is a soft is so sensitive it bleeds from the end corners of the rubber. I order natural firm from sorbo hopefully that would fix the problem. how you tried the harder rubber from sorbo how do you like it? Also I order the viper which comes with a different rubber whats your opinion on that rubber also. Any tips you think is my technique for the rubber to bleed or I just got a bad rubber. Btw I live in florida so its super hot most of the teae here. Ok thanks for your great content. look foward to get your feedback
@@LePerrit soft rubber should be used in the cold weather in my opinion. Try Sorbo silicone rubber for the heat. Hard rubber should be fine too. I highly recommend getting the Docket to trim down your rubber so you can get the most out of every rubber you have. 🫡
@@JoshuaTheWindowCleaner thank you
I love the video, now would be interesting to see the comparison with the new Wagtail High Flyer Vs Excelerator 2.0 with Liquidator 3.0. The new Wagtail has new motion, it pivot up and down, so kind of have the angles and it also have the precision clips. Well, that's an idea for you next review, I would love to see it.
Wow! I'm in the process of replacing my screens myself. Trying to decide between fiberglass and aluminum. This tilts the scale on the aluminum side.
@@k.b.woodworker3250 aluminum is the best!!
What size ladders do you typically carry
@@pumppanelpimpin7536 we have different sized ladders. Depends on the job. Best one I can recommend is the little giant Epic ladder
This is a much faster method. Use it all time with the pole 👍😃 ua-cam.com/users/shortsWJynQSIAYxQ?si=Dj7NW_NCYpn5b7Ir
Where to buy, home depot link would be useful
@@ProudBharatiyaTV these are custom doors you can not get them at Home Depot. 🫡
Great video Joshua. I hope you are VERY successful in your business! It those like you, that spread knowledge, to help others learn the business or DIY. GOOD LUCK!
@@SG-KY-real thank you for your encouragement 🤗
Joshua, Great video. I Know you said that you didn't know where the jig came from but could you please give the name of it?
@@jerrymashburn4793 snow gauge is all it says
Joshua I have been building screens for the Ace Hardware I work at for over nine years. I love your videos and how you are helping those who are looking for information. I had to learn the hard way so I am sure there are people who appreciate your videos.
@@briancalvert6050 thank you!!
Good video, good tips. Thank you for posting. One suggestion, if not already pointed out, correct the spelling of the word “proceed” at the bottom of your order form.
@@AdamHarry-z2r yes we had new forms made and we had to run out of those first 😂
I wished i found your video before I spent $$ and screen didn’t fit. I guess I measured it wrong. Will be redoing the screen with your very detailed instructions as a reference. Best DIY video on YT. Thanks for sharing . New sub 🤙🏾
@@rolo_pabbs thank you! 🫡
Those pull tabs are cheap!! Use a paint stick to depress the springs. Then pull gently.
@@Maximonious 🧐
At the intro of video are you using a small vacuum or blower? Do you have the link
@@diamondgreenchoreoqueen unfortunately they do not make those anymore
Can you make a video on the actual process of making a new sliding door screen , how to measure , where to buy material, how to make it
@@reecesouza8307 I will keep that in mind 🫡
Great video... awesome tips... Thank you...
@@jayp4795 thank you for the encouragement!
What you have an extension rod to get the hugh window and also dont have an ladder to what should you do in that situation? Should you only do exterior windows only or should you do both ?
I can tell you were a 90s hiphop head 😂😂😂. Whats the easy way to find jobs? Do you think one story homes are better than 2 story homes?
@@PrimeChosenOne 😬 either work great.
Im thinking about starting my window cleaning business. Very cheap price for materials to get started. Im not good with math 😂 but any idea how to price ONLY exterior windows? Lets say if a client's wants an interior clean how do you price that? Or how do you price both. I say my minimum wage is 120-150 bucks for the full window cleaning ehat do you recommend
@@PrimeChosenOne depends on location and how many windows they have.
It really is clean. I noticed the difference before you flipped the screen over the side that was clean to the dirty part. Gratifying to see that part. Nice!
@@veronicaleon8075 thank you!
What drill bit is that
@@micaeladrayer8289 it is a specialty drill bit that I got with the plungers.
Thanks for the instructions. I find it is easy to deform the end of the frame piece when you are trying to cut off a small piece, such as when you are turning the 90 into a 45. I suggest instead you make a 45 on one end, cutting off at least 1/2" of material, before you cut to length with another 45. Your jig should allow this because the tip of the 45 will butt against the stop.
@@williammiller4786 thank you!!
Thanks so much!!!!
@@jamieluhan2546 of course! 🫡
Do you do a video on cleaning frames
@@kevinhartley7423 I don’t but you can use a Sorbo sponge and goo gone will get most of everything off of frames except concrete.
@@JoshuaTheWindowCleaner thanks , do you use hydrochloric acid for concrete on frame or there's now more gentle stuffs ? i'm an abseiler and I rarely do window cleaning jobs. awesome video
Thank you Joshua. Excellent detailed video. I'll be watching again before I begin replacing 11 screens and frames on my porch due to the recently violent thunderstorms and tornado occurring this past week in upstate New York. All the best to you and your business.
@@teejay2483 thank you for the encouragement!! I think you will do just fine with the work! Let me know if you have any questions.🫡
Thank you, Joshua. I got the parts fast and was easily able to change out the screen corners and wheels and get everything adjusted. Total time took about a half hour and I appreciate your help and getting me the necessary parts for this door. Saved a ton and the door works better than new. Joe
@@joeamendolare7854 Fantastic!! Happy to help Joe and thank you for the opportunity!! 🫡
Thank you, Finally someone that knows how to teach and had detail!!
@@bobcyrus thank you for the encouragement! 🫡
I have watched other videos where they say to pull slight tension on screen as you roll the final 2 sides. So are you saing not only to not pull tension but also to leave slack? Is this correct? I will be putting solar screens on 3/4 frames soon. Trying to figure out the best method.
@@kevinwinkle8091 I do not pull tension. I let the screen pull itself
I once went to a diner that had about 40 big windows and they said they already have a guy so I asked how much he was charging and she said $30 ....I literally laughed at her and said nobody is doing this massive job for 30 bucks
@@Mr99RICH99 see it all the time. There is the right client and the wrong client I would say that’s the wrong client.
Great video What king of measuring jig is that does it have a name or any idea where I can buy one
I don’t think they make them exactly like this one anymore.
Joshua, needs to learn where to step on a roof tile so he doesn't break them / I watched where his boots stepped and it's NOT in the correct spot / after that he's not too bad / I'm a Lic. Rain Gutter installer since 1977 / I know what I'm doing. Notice he steps in the center of the tiles ( NOT THE RIGHT SPOT ) step toward the end of the tiles where the overlap is / it's a lot stronger at that spot.
Since this video I have actually learned from a licensed roofer after breaking and paying for many tiles! You are correct thank you for your feedback! 🫡
Have a question do you charge by how many windows or by square feet ,and also if is the same price for a two story and a 1 story, appreciate some advice.
I price per window and yes same for any floor. I would never charge by square foot because you will run into sun rooms and glass walls.
Hey, really nice job with the bow factor. I really failed miserably at my last effort. I had 4 sides bow in so bad it was sad. After seeing this video I’ll try again this weekend with new materials. Do you feel that the kits with plastic corner inserts can work fine as well?
From my experience the plastic corners only last about a year in the sun but they can be a temporary fix.
For a beginner I think you have done well!
For your miter saw blade, how many teeth does it have? Any recommendations on brands? Thanks!
