I'm confused. Based on everything I have learned about vinyl siding, the house MUST be wrapped FIRST, with a vapor barrier such as Tyvek, to keep the sheathing from getting wet and rotting. Vinyl siding is not a block against moisture. It's a system that breathes and allows moisture to penetrate. That is why you put the flashing around the window, for when rain water gets in behind the siding. The problem is, once it does get behind the siding, is that it will run down your nice window flashing, and then right back down on to the surface of the unprotected sheathing below. Is there a reason this house was not wrapped?
At a minimum it needs wrap on the sides and under the window. The bottom corner of that window will always allow water to get behind the vinyl therefore it is necessary to have house wrap from the bottom corner down to prevent damage to sheathing.
I'm going to try to vinyl side my house myself I'm thinking I using fiberboard sheathing(brown 4x8 1/2 width) which is what many houses had up to the early nineties except plywood at the corners...what do you think of that ?@@davisboy421
Can you do a video on removing a vinyl window without removing the siding? Lots of videos on removing old wood windows but nothing on how to remove a vinyl window for replacement! Thanks.
These guys are way better than the unscrupulous window installers ive had to deal with. Dont use metropolitan windows a marvin infinity installer in Pittsburgh. I asked repeatedly for new construction full frame windows and they lied every step of the way. They said these were going to install full frame with full tear outs but they were inserts pocket windows and are really the exact the same product. Im sure they rip off many less paranoid and richer customers all the time. The amended contract listed inserts which they always claimed was a computer glitch. Lol what were they thinking? glad i got my deposit back. BTW, They were going to install 23x46” double hungs inserts for $2500 each! I would have paid it for new construction full frame done right. Ill just keep my 40 year old anderson 400s until we redo siding. Be careful out there homeowners.
My house is getting remodeled, and the contractor the builder has working on my house installed new windows without taking the siding out. The outside has no plywood so they are going to gave to put new plywood all around and then siding. My husband says the windows go last.
What would be helpful is to be mindful of those who may have heavy furniture to move, especially if they live alone and may not be in the best physical shape. This is especially true if that person has a lot of stuff. It can be especially stressful for some people who happens to rent, even more stressful if the landlord is personally doing the window replacements. Depending on the relationship with your landlord will depend on how pleasant of an experience it is, or how much of a nightmare it is for the renter. Moving is an option, but not an option if you have nowhere to go, and no means to move. For some people with physical limits, it can be terribly physically taxing and even stressful to have to move too much heavy stuff and do too much at a time, and even within a day. If you're renting and you can't move and the landlord comes by and decides to replace the windows, you're going to have to set limits and have someone to call if the landlord tries to push you beyond your limits and you just can't do it. Hopefully landlord and tenant can work together in those cases
Hi sir how are you doing. I want to install upvc window and door manufacturing or pvc wall vinyl manufacturing plant in canada or usa. I have source of this all machines which are using in this manufacturing plant . I am looking a business partner in this plant to install in usa or canada . How i find business partner ? Can you help in this?
I know you are a business and really try to sell your services, but step by step videos with workers would be helpful for d.i.y? The speed up video is not very helpful i what i can expect when I do my own repairs. Cause my budget is VERY tight!
Not educational. Just an advertisement. And they never heard of a scaffold apparently and like to work off ladders a lot without fall protection which is technically illegal as an OSHA violation.
There was no tarpaper or Tyvek on top of the OSB? That would not fly here in NJ

These guys didn’t do the siding, they just replaced the windows. Ask the siding installer 😂

How did this house pass inspection without a moisture barrier??????????

Why did tyvek not get installed?
My house is getting remodeled, and the contractor the builder has working on my house installed new windows without taking the siding out. The outside has no plywood so they are going to gave to put new plywood all around and then siding. My husband says the windows go last.
Do you have job opportunities? My friend and I are skilled in window making
وشكراً
Where is the water resistant barrier (tyvek, zip)????
Wait there is no vapor barrier? Why not just redo all the siding?

Wow. The biggest problem is there's no Protected sheets green, like Tybex. Bad form.
How much is the salary for a window installer?
Not a complete video. Many steps missing. Insulation around the frame?, etc.
I didn't see the drywall being cut back.

This video sucked. Was expecting more video and less fast forward.

What a hack job they didn’t even remove all the rot that osb will rot away
I didn’t learn a thing.
Useless video.
Very sloppy job. Wrapping with vapor barriers were not used.
