    First video I found that includes installation of the seal angle and head expander. Thanks for covering those apparently obscure items.
    We ordered the American Craftsman 50 Series windows which arrived with the head expander and seal angle pieces clipped to the bottom of the window.
    There were no instructions. I initially thought this was how they were to be installed, ie. along the bottom of the replacement window. Fortunately while test fitting the window, the expander hit my knee and fell off, at which point we realized there was a sill angle piece there as well. We had to look up the instructions online, and they were still unclear about how to install the sill angle.
    Thank you very much for posting this information!

    Good info here , but the gap between the new window frame and the existing old window jamb must be insulated or at least caulked if you don’t want air leaks. The outside needs caulking as well.

    That's a good video for DIY. As an eighteen year installer, there is a much easier way to remove those windows besides removing the interior trim ( which is usually really old and brittle.) You can use a what some call a drywall hammer that has the axe edge on one side and a regular framing hammer. You can literally chop out the outer stops and remove the window from the outside. That way less mess in customer homes. The interior trim then becomes your stops and windows will line up exactly the same as your method. But yes, very good job sir!

    I'm having 10 windows replaced in my house in a couple of months or so and I wanted to see the steps of this process before the installers come. I can't believe it's this easy to do. One note that I took from this video is making sure the installers score the paint from the trim before they remove it. I saw another RUclips video in which this wasn't done and what a zig zag paint cracking disaster that was. Hugo shows how to do this and the rest of the process right.

    First apply silicone to the sill so water doesn’t come back underneath from strong rains/snow & the window needs to be centered/squared using shims so it doesn’t bow outwards so it can be tightened securely not left snugged also by doing so you can apply light expanding window foam all around it and Caulk the outside all around the window but not the inside so the foam can breath the trim will hide the foam. 👍🏻

    I use a plastic tree wedge for protection under the pry bars so you do not damage the drywall or wood while prying the old frames out if they are nailed in . The plastic wedges can be found at stores that sell chainsaws, I have used them for years installing windows. You can also use the tree wedges as a temporary shim so you do not over tighten the doors or windows, then you remove it later and replace with a composite shim. The composite shims do not absorb water so they work much better long term. Hope this helps someone, I have installed all different brands of windows since the mid 80s. You would not believe the amount of damage the wedges save you from doing when you're trying to break a old window frame out when the nail fin was nailed to death by Billy Bob the installer.

      The windows you are talking about w the flanges are generally for “new construction” that get installed before the siding goes on.
      The replacement windows are done after and slide into place.
      Look up “new construction window install” and you’ll see the difference.

    On an old house you should Never put in Vinyl window in place of original old windows... Why ? Because the house wants to breathe with the wooden frames.. When you use vinyl windows the house wants separate from the plastic vinyl...I suggest you check out how to prepare old windows or put in wooden frame windows.... Remember to talk to someone who wants to keep their historical house more original so you are not using vinyl windows.

If a space needs to be filled, simply stuff fiberglass insulation or gap filling material in there. This won’t affect the functionality of the window.

    Hi Hugo. Thank you for the video it was great. I have a question though. Long story short I am a DIYer. Pretty solid skills. I have windows on my home exactly like the ones in your video and my question is do you, or CAN a person waterproof the sill and/or underneath the exterior trim when replacing a window? I watch a lot of videos on RUclips where there is no siding on the house and therefore people use stretch tape or flashing tape but does a person do this when siding is already on the house? Thank you for any feedback!

      Hi David my name is John and I'm a professional window installer 20 years and no offense to this video I was curious to see how true this video would be to installing Windows. With all due respect to David oh, I do not know where this video is taken but that is not how you install Windows and the parts he was referring to or not two parts Tory says they go. Depending on where you live in the country the east coast to West Coast codes and construction are different but you can always waterproof your window seals or perimeter of opening before installing a flange window or fin window. I hope this helps you good luck.

    Installers left SUCH big gaps everywhere, by not using 2X4's, when the new windows are so much smaller, you can frame them with 2X4's but they used 1X1, and filled the rest in with gobs of silicone-like an entire INCH of silicone. Honestly, I think the company went cheap. It looks horrible on the outside. Yes, they need to be trimmed still, but such big gaps have me nervous, and I always thought they're supposed to be set IN-these are not even flush with the original siding. To trim them, the whole trim has to be sicking OUT from the original aluminum siding-a horrendous look. Not only that, but they left in the original slanted aluminum-wrapped sill/jambs on the bottom and filled the gap in with caulk. I thought they're supposed to leave the outside framing ALONE....

    It's okay but you don't do the finish and the finish it's the more important

    Wrong, wrong, wrong. this guy doesn't know what he is doing. you have to shim your windows because it allows for wood expansion and contraction. He didn't install flashing either. he gets a D. here is a video on shimming windows ruclips.net/video/IDGg66Y6h9Q/видео.html ,and heres one on installing flashing so you can get an A and not a D like the guy in the video did.

    Poor video. As a professional I would suggest watching other video's. Bo Buttle tape or caulk or spray foam???? I would fire this guy if I hired him to install windows once I saw all of the mistakes.
