“You begin from the beginning” is one of the realest most true statements I’ve ever heard from a DIY channel. Thanks for the good content 🤞🏾
Does everyone appreciate that he has an actual camera person following his every move rather than using a stationary camera? Makes his videos so much better. Thanks to you both
No
Cheers Geoff, we are definitely trying to increase our production value.
Yeah...clear professional and precise...very appreciated
It does make it so easy to watch vs watching a standstill shot. I love so much how much detail and information he gives, I learn so much!! (FYI, I'm not a video editor or video guy)
Home RenoVision DIY
Hi Jeff
I live in Orleans and would like to do some remodeling would you be able to do it
Thanks
“You begin from the beginning” that’s when I knew he’s the real deal
I wish i had met just one contractor like you in person. Thats the highest compliment i can give you.
It’s 2am and I’m here because I got a $6000 quote for two windows for my home that isn’t worth having such expensive windows in it 🤣
😂 your in good hands
This guy is an animal!
I truly appreciate a man who tells it like it is yet can laugh at himself! BRAVO😂
Absolutely incredible instruction, the level of detail is second to none. How the level of 2 windows relates to backsplash tile is something 99% of us didnt even think of thats gold
The added comedy and candid insights makes this so much better.
I really feel for this guy. He wants to tell you everything you need to know, all while trying to make the instructions simple to follow. I run into this all the time and my business is nothing like construction.
Ripping on it then finding a screw holding it was so relatable and funny I appreciate your videos sir.
Great video!
Bought my own house that needed gutted and completely redone. Been using your library to help with the things I didnt know.
I worked residential framing and remodeling back in the 90s and still have retained a pretty good idea how to DIY most things even though I have been working heavy construction for the last 20years. Especially windows, I installed hundreds. But your other vids have shown me some new tricks that I didnt know since tech and materials have evolved in the last 20 years so I figured I'd check this one out.
Back in the day we used to build up sills and sides with plywood or dimensional lumber to minimize the gaps, shim and then stuff fiberglass in the gaps and caulk the interior. Cap the exterior with aluminum we'd bend on a brake and then caulk seams.
The way you wrapped the tyvek, waterproofed the sill and used foam just makes so much sense from an insulation and waterproof sense. I'm glad I watched before I started my installs. They have come a long way with foams in the decades I've been out of the game.
Thanks for the great content
I’m going to be helping my lifelong-tradesman grandfather replace some windows and he’s gonna hate my newfound knowledge lol
You are the only UA-camr I watch on 1x. So much information. Thank you sir!
I can't stop watching his videos... super informative and he talks in a way that is totally relatable. 👌 His videos are true to life and the camera work is fantastic. I am going through a cottage reno and as a somewhat DIY guy myself I can tell you that his videos have helped tremendously already.
Thank you! 😊 please keep the videos coming.
A confident builder explains everything effortlessly like this while using sarcasm and going through every step.Great video this will teach many
You the man!! You made it simple, common sense and included the very important details for window purchase, tools, moisture defense and thermal breaking. I'm replacing 30 year old double hung windows and I'll find out if any of the defense tech that was available during that time was used as I'm anticipating some rot. Most of all you have me looking forward to replacing a window for the first time as well as it being the prototype for the others including a picture window replacement.
Thank you very much and I look forward to your other videos on all things renovation!
Im addicted to this guys videos. He's Great!!
Me also love his voice also. And he looks like my step son.
Jeff and his son are great human beings very pleasant
Im assuming you ladies are leaning how to be “Handy Men”? If so, good for ya! Hope all works well, no better feeling that when YOU BUILD IT! And, you can say “don’t need a man to do work for ya” and it saves ya SOOOOO much money. For example. Doing my Front Porch Roof and A window and a peace of Vinal and minuscule paint touch up. But, a contractor woulda “UP” charge items and pay labor. Do all that, talking $2500+. Do it MYSELF, talking $850ish....BIG DIFFERENCE!
Same!
Agreed!
I've been a huge fan and I love watching him! Very informative, and now I know that my windows in my house were installed improperly because some are hard to open and close...
Wow! Jeff apart from being an excellent craftsman, you are pleasantly hilarious. You make a difficult job look simple and wit such a wonderful sense of humour watching and learning from videos is real treat. Thanks a million. Stay safe and healthy and keep posting such wonderful videos. Thanks.
Always love your videos. This was of great benefit to me as I'm debating about replacing a kitchen window in the spring and trying to think ahead. Great job and thank you for educating the rest of us diyers on how to do it the right way.
Cheers , you will find the trim video coming soon helpful as well. we build a jamb extension and a sill for a traditional look.
Jeff, I would like to thank you for the extra work you do to make your DIY videos. Your information and demonstrations have been very useful to me. I am restoring a late 19th century 2 storey log cabin that was relocated to a waterfront site 40 years ago, it was reconstructed to about 90% complete and then abandoned. It had no maintenance for about 20 years. I have had to abate the attic, replace windows, add new siding, rebuild a deck and 3 season room - and I have referred to your videos as my go-to resource. Not only have you saved me a ton of money, but the tips, tricks and recommendations for certain products that will help to avoid water problems in the future have made the job easier and more fun. It feels like I have done a good job ensuring I can enjoy the cottage without concerns or worry that I took a shortcut where I should not, or that the work is somehow insufficient. So, I wish I could shake your hand - virtual will have to do. I wish you much success in your business and I sincerely thank you.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for all of the time you put into educating us! My wife and I bought a major fixer upper house in Orangeville, ON and close in January, 2022. We've done many remodels over the years but never a gut job down to the studs (renovation); nor have I done windows before... I feel I have a good understanding of most things, since I've dabbled in just about everything, but your videos have certainly helped me understand things way better than before... And maybe even made me realize I did a lot wrong haha. Since we live and work in similar areas, I was hoping you could recommend a window wholesaler that I should order my new windows from. Thanks again!!
Damn it how am I supposed to live with only half an hour of content this week!!! How shall I liveeeeee
LOL, That was funny!
I love how you go the extra step in showing all the little details in the process of whatever you are installing great video please keep giving us videos I have learned so many little things that I have either forgotten or just never knew GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Had a very successful tub calking experience after watching that video about 4 times! ~ I repeat my watching because you fill your videos lots of tip and overall great information that works!
Thank you for helping make me a success in my projects!!!
I can't stop watching his videos... super informative and he talks in a way that is totally relatable. 👌 His videos are true to life and the camera work is fantastic. I am going through a cottage reno and as a somewhat DIY guy myself I can tell you that his videos have helped tremendously already. Thanks to this I invested in Dako Windows
I am so grateful rn to have come across your channel, instantly subbed. I'm on my 3rd video ...even if they're long as heck! - but we're in a mess with a new house with almost a complete reno and we've just cut ties with our 2nd contractor bc of all the bs they're pulling. I'm adding a tidbit here so others can be cautious. Don't rip out everything just because the contractor/hired help is intimidating you to do so! we were bullied and manipulated to do fixes we could've lived with and we decided it's just better to DIY some of the stuff we want to do and get specialized help with plumbing and electrical.
Thank you so much for these helpful videos, I just learned a bunch of stuff about window install. Taking notes, rewinding etc like this is a university lecture!
I appreciate the following about your videos (and I watch a lot of home improvement stuff and am a millennial): 1. 0 bs music covering up what you're saying 2. pauses at the right places, cutting out unnecessary bits so we can stick to the video which is already technical and long 3. very technical ...no loooongggg personal anecdotes, with light humor and mainly focused on instructional content 4. mentions of useful tools, materials, variations in applications and potential differences in conditions etc.
again, ty so much!
I just got a quote for 12, 3x5 foot windows from a company for $25k and since I was so resistant to get them. They gave me a final offer of $13k at about 5% interest. SMH I’m glad these DIYers exist
My wife and I are buying a manufactured home and are closing this week. Super excited about the diy renovations we’re about to embark on. Jeff has been the best help, by far! Thanks for the great content!
The main reason I come to this channel before trying anything at home is because he tells me everything I need to know, not everything there IS to know and it makes it so much easier to understand and not feel as overwhelmed from information overload. And of course we're both Canadian so his store choices, building code mentions, and when he talks about weather patterns I know we have the same "types" of weather.
This has me feeling confident in replacing my own windows. Thank you very much!
I love this guy's videos. Hands down the most informative and, by all appearances, he films live showing the easy and the difficult not sugar coating anything. Bravo!!
Great video. I always appreciate the level of detail you go into even when it's not a scenario you're facing in that instance.
One quick comment though. I notice that the windows did not match. The one on the left had a grille and the right one did not. We're you replacing both or was that intentional for another reason?
I wish I had found your video sooner! I just put a piece of wood under a replacement window (post termite repair - the replacement window was from 12+ years ago and not done correctly by "professionals" in the first place.) I did put a heavy glob of silicone behind it to meet up with outside. Now I wish I hadn't and just used the foam. It's wedged in pretty tightly so I doubt I can get it out safely. I love your videos and have been binge-watching them lately. We were thinking about doing some of the demo for 2 bathroom renovations to save money, but after you mentioned the cost of tub/shower without vs. with new floor tile we decided the estimated we got were reasonable and I will just watch the work being done to ensure it is done correctly. The videos are truly homeowner-friendly!
From the first stuble across your channel trying to figure out how to level my house since the flood here in Waverly TN, to this one... you know every trick of the trade it seems.
Great instruction every time, every video. The laser level tip... man, thats going to make life so much easier.
Forrest
you're my go to for how to do any project myself. just found a window that's leaking and now has black mold so I'm hoping to save a few bucks on fixing it myself after a company comes through to take care of the mold. cheers again sir and great video.
Thank you so much for these videos! I have a house from 2007 with a broken window, and more or less all the vinyl windows are a pain in a** to open/close. Now I feel pretty confident I can change the broken window and do a better job that the original contractors did!
Love your videos and this one in particular as it’s cool to see someone actually using the blue skin the factory I work at makes. I always wondered how companies actually used it as to me it’s just a roll that we put in a box
Now I feel like a pro after watching this instructor 👨🏫 I’m about to do my own windows replacement….. Thank you sir….for passing out your skills for free…
How'd it go?
I love channels like these thank so I can work on my own stuff, thank you!🙏🏽
Thank you, after watching this video I took down one of the windows and installed it with some help, all around 3 hours or so, had to have someone hold the window.
Hi Jeff, this video has helped me learn a ridiculous amount! Thanks so much, I've just recently decided to replace my windows and I was crapping bricks because I didn't want to screw it all up. So thanks again for speaking plainly and explaining everything as clear as day.
Thanks Jeff, you have helped me achieve so many renos !!!!
Awesome video, so now we can be more professional than the professionals lol. Cherrs! I always wondered what the best way is to install windows and now I know, thanks Jeff for all you do in teaching us.
Cheers Happy to help!
We love your channel. So informative, and you are a great instructor.
What a great tutorial. Very relatable. Too often the installer is doing highly-skilled activities. This gives me hope that I could do the installation.
My cordless reciprocating saw is the best tool I've ever bought. Haven't used my corded Sawzall for years. Not only can you use a battery powered reciprocating saw on anything around the house, you can use it on trees on your property and other tasks around the yard. Come to think of it, I'm going to sell my Milwaukee corded Sawzall, I hardly ever used it. My second favorite tool I would recommend is a cordless narrow crown stapler. Mine is a Ryobi and Ryobi doesn't get much respect but their cordless narrow crown stapler is awesome!
Jeff just want to thank you for your videos... I put in 3/4" hardwoods floors in our house by myself after watching several different videos and by far yours were the best and I wouldn't of attempted it until I watched you
We saved several thousand dollars thanks to you We have a brick house and the windows are terrible not sure if I can pull it off house was built in 79 all wood framed windows
Thanks man! Wanted to take the bottom window out of the frame to fit an AC in and you taught me how!
Jeff, you’d be the first guy a buy a pint for… tks for what you do brother 🙏
You have saved me sooo much money and frustration! Not just the windows! Thankyou!
Great content!!! thank you for being so detail oriented. Most videos talk high level as if the viewers are pros or have experienced, you were great!! thank you
What a confidence builder - great job!
Over all great advice from start to finish. Thank you so much.
I appreciate the direct instruction, clear example, and tips. Decent show. I’ll check you out in the future.
Only thing holding some of us back are tools and the know how. So thankful for videos like this as we will need windows in the future. And Especially after getting quoted 11k for 1500 sqft of luxury vinyl flooring! I’m installing them now on our home we just bought. Saved us tons $$$!!
Glad to help! Welcome to the revolution!
I got a 1600.00 estimate to replace one 38 x 40 window the other day. That was obviously too much, so I decided to do it myself. Your video was very helpful and my friend and I are going to tackle it ourselves when the window comes in. (btw that estimate did not include the window) Thank you!
Thanks for showing, i was able to order my own window and did the install myself with a friend. Saved a ton of money. I did add the blue skin as you recommended. Thanks again
Cheers John, happy to be of help!
When I was a kid, dad put an addition on our house so that everyone would fit. I am amazed by the things a handy person can do. And now that I have my own home, your knowledge (and production quality) has made me confident enough to do my homework and give my projects a go. This is the most practical and realistic home repair show since Home Improvement! Many thanks to you fellas and happy Thanksgiving.
Cheers John, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving as well.
Dude your videos are so helpful and you seem like you actually know what youre talking about, thanks
these videos are very much appreciated Jeff. Thanks
Oh man, you are an incredible teacher, your success is well deserved 👍👍
Thanks for the videos, you’re my hero right now!
This guy is the man I learn so much from him.
I found this really amusing, wild with the knife and trying to rip out a window that was recently installed without removing the screws… informative video!
I really like that your so clear and just take your time explaining. Very nice video thanks sir
you're
Your videos are enjoyable to watch! Lol I spend all day doing this work. Just to come home and watch others work hahahaha.
Being in the glass trade, my mentor told me a story years back, piece of glass he and his apprentice were carrying snapped and he being green reached for it to try and catch it, annnnnd it sliced it off clean, he held his apprentices DETATCHED hand from the wrist down in ice packs from his lunch box while rushing him to the hospital from a job site by ambulance... safety came second that day.
I digress, love your content, I’m buying a new house soon and can’t wait to get to work making it a home. 👍🏼
Omg the way you explain it made it so much easier for me lol.
one of the best instructional videos ive ever seen, awesome job Jeff!!
Your correct about your work being more professional than most actual professionals do. I got my garage professionally done by danleys garage. And I just saw a ceiling joist where they put a nail through supposedly to attach it to another piece of lumber. And the nail completely missed it so it’s not even attached to anything. Is just a nail going through the joists for decoration
It happens Cheers!
Wish you lived in Michigan. I’m 76, (woman) doing my own repairs. It’s a learn-as-I-go. Bay window in bathroom has rotted thru and it’s the middle of Sept. with it being nearly impossible to find anyone to do the work except guys no one wants to hire. (I’ve met 3, had 4...nightmare) I figure I can do this...
I’m saving every video you make! Thank you for your focus, to-the-point approach without all the unnecessary ramblings on!
Hey Jeff. Another great video. A thought about a video idea. Replacing gutters or specifically a piece of gutter on an existing house. The things I am interested in is matching the profile and the best way to replace a section. Anyway keep up the good work. Tell your sponsors that even us here in Australia use your recommendations for products 😀😀😀
Cheers Randall. will do!
I'm thinking about purchasing a home that has muliple windows that need to be replaced. I am somewhat handy. Your very descritive install was quite helpful. I think I'm going to buy the house because a slow window replacement seems possible! Thank You!
Great video, thanks Jeff!
Wow, i really messed up and hired a contractor. I need more than my pinky fingers to push and pull the window. I really appreciate how easy you make your videos to understand and give the confidence to do it. I went to attic to check it out, and wouldn't you know it? Moisture on one side of the window inside below the window. Clown shoe installers, clown shoe contractors did the work around the window.
Perfect timing. I love your new channel.
Cheers Donna, Happy to help!
Great video packed with valuable and useful information for the perfect DIY job every time. Love it!
Thank you very much for your How to Replace a Window EASY TouTube!❤
Thank you. Very helpful in building a little confidence for my first window replacement job today. My mother has windows literally falling out of the house and isn't in a financial position to call a pro. As a professional cabinet maker/painter I knew I could help, but was slightly nervous. Not anymore.
Also! Really like your sense of humor, in your videos!
Really great tutorial.
I work reno and, if I may, add some notes from my experiences:
1. side-HUNG & top-HUNG & PIVOT windows: the JAMBS are not always square, and I always check that the sides JAMBS are plumb, and that they align correctly with the SASH.
2. big and heavy windows (2 person to move), as well as 2 sections (side-by-side) windows: I leave the bottom shims in place, as well as the shims under the link between the 2 sections (the same that I would do with sliding glass doors)
Thx for sharing, again I've learned many new tricks.
Hi Claude, when I order windows I always leave a little extra gap on an old house. in most cases if the window operates now then the new one will fit in the space just fine with the same measurements. Cheers with leaving in the shims.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I guess my technical english is not that good. I edited my comment with proper terminology (hopefully).
My comment was not related to measures, but to weight, shims & plumb jambs.
- side-hung windows have a tendency to pull on the side jamb and unsquare the window casing (at installation time). So I check jamb plumb, and sash/window-case alignment, for complete free movement of the sash.
- For very heavy windows (ie: 5'x6' double glass), I leave the bottom shims in place. I don't fully trust the foam.
Hope that clarifies
And thank you for previous notes...
regards
Question, where can I buy wholesale windows for an old double wide mobile? In Nevada,, thank you
@@DianaLynn-ql5tv Sorry, no idea. good luck.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a realistic and well inform way. To release the weight of lifting and handling, can I take off the window panels then starts the installation process and put them back after finished the installing?
I wish I watched this video 3 years ago 😢. We hired a company to replace our windows and that was a mass. No leveling, no blue liner, no foam, nothing. Even light coming from between the door and it's frame and we couldn't convince him the installation was wrong. I am wondering if I can take them out and reinstall back with perfect shape such as in this video 😢😢😢. Btw he is great in explaining, 👏 There has to be something above like button for this video 😂
Hey by your explanation of the situation, i remember you. Yes, i installed your window and I still stand behind my opinion that your window was installed properly. It is not wrong, just be happy with it.
Looking to replace some old 1947 beat down windows with busted ballasts and no access points. Needed this video!
Why was the top portion of the house wrap folded inside? Most installers will fold it back over the outside of the window so the water runs out only.
What Jeff didn't realize is that water gets behind the house wrap during driving rain and the wrap acts as a funnel, dumping water behind all his barriers and comes out leaking through the trim. The plus side of this is I make a fortune fixing installs like this when I have to remove the brick, fix it and reinstall the brick.
Awesome video! I’m liking your teaching style!
This video was fantastic. Thank you!!
I wish I had your knowledge to save some $$. Great video, great work!
This Person is very easy to follow. Really look forward to your videos. I do have a question that I know you can answer. (you're the best!)
How do you replace old casement windows with the vinyl replacement? Also, Old LARGE casement window with 2 crank openings and a solid glass in the middle?
Great humor and great advice, thank you for sharing
Wow awesome. I have learned a lot from this channel & finally motivated to do DIY. 😀
Cheers!
How did your window install go?
Whew that was close! I totally almost had an impulse to go tear out my dining room window myself! 😬 I think I'll wait on my husband 😂😂😂😂😂 definitely gonna have him watch this video though! 😉
Good video. About to do a house tmrw and idk what I'm doing but I took the contract. Here i am 1 in the morning finding this guy
I wish I had watched this before my last window replacement project.
Awesome video, thank you. What would you do if it's an older house with no house wrap, and you weren't replacing the siding at the same time?
Oh my goodness! You are just awesome! You are the best!
Cheers!
That is super hilarious! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told my children (and everyone else who fears bees) the exact same thing.
What would you use to make a water barrier on the bottom of the window frame on a house that has a stucco finish? Thanks for your time you put into your videos, it really shows in the over quality of the videos.
This video just saved my day. Much appreciated
Just got our impact windows installed..I think it is sitting on top of the marble sill/stool..Is that ideal? Have plans to replace the sill.
