This is exactly what I've been searching for. I need to replace my windows on my stucco house and I refuse to pay exorbitant prices installers charge. I'd rather put my money in quality windows. Thanks. Great job explaining the process.
I just got a quote of $40,000 to replace 12 windows, 1 slider, 1 French door and 1 Bay window on a stucco house and that does not even include the Trim which they will be ripping out or fixing the Stucco. I am shocked because 20 years ago I paid about $5000 for a very similar installation with Trim and Stucco included. I am here for the same reason.
Si no quieres paga a gente que sabe aslo tu y guardas mucho dinero
Thank you so much for your very detailed videos. I love that you show the difficulties in the process and not make it seem like everything goes perfect and smoothly and how you work through the difficult steps. Your videos are truly my favorite.
I've been following you for some time now Shannon . . you NEVER disappoint delivering the 'goods'. Thank you mucho
I appreciate how you share what you're thinking and talk about multiple ways to solve a problem and how you warn us about other configurations or issues we might see.
Love the barn swallow nest above the door. Great job on the window. Thanks.
Like always, great work and explanation. Wish all folks in construction were like you.
Thanks for the stucco demo intro .. Im adding stucco molding to an existing door that has been "finished" off just needed an image to my execution .
Awesome work, Awesome video. Thanks for posting!
Never cut the “building wrap”. The WRB (weather resistant barrier) protects your home from water intrusion. Unless the WRB is being replaced. Whether it’s a dry climate or not flashing is required to lap over the WRB to create a “waterfall” effect. Water WILL find penetrations and cause damage if not done properly.
It looks like he didn't cut it but hard to tell and also can be hard to fully insert new tar paper under the existing stucco. Most of these older stucco homes in Canada just have tar paper under the stucco which cuts too easily though. Luckily there is a heckuva roof overhang immediately above. Most of these 1980s stucco homes in Canada do not have metal flashing above the windows and did just fine without water problems, but it's a good practice to add the flashing when upgrading the windows. At least he did the peel and stick.
Mr shannon u make it look so easy to do!!! Great video
Nice video.
I just removed 6 windows. For the stubborn nails, I ground the heads off. It worked pretty well.
Thank you for the video. Awesome job explaining the process. 👌💯
great demonstration...Have this exact issue...Thank You!
You do such a great job on all of your videos explaining what materials and why you use them and why your doing it that way . Love the videos! Thank you and your camera man or woman , keep up the great work ! 👍🏼👍🏼
Good to know various techniques; thanks S.
Thank you. Needed the refresher
Shannon you truly have a gift for explaining and teaching.
Oooo
O
Ok o
Oo
Excellent video! This is the exact type of installation video I need. I have the same type stucco-built around. I will be attempting to do this myself. I've done home repair, this will be the most involved one I'll undertake. All my south facing windows are toast, the others are great. One window at a time. :) Thanks for the video, subscribed.
nice work shannon. I'm actually working on a window replacement job now that I'll be posting to my channel. doesn't involve stucco but it's always nice to see other scenarios. Thanks 👍
Thanks, helpful
Excellent info my man!
Excellent instructions. Thank you.
Your the best instructor I’ve ever found
Awesome job with that window
nice job
, thanks for sharing , thumbs it up
You make it seem so easy! When will your next video on this topic be?
You are best Shanon. Thank you for you best contributions.
Nice nice will you come to Az? The situation I have is what u did with build out. Oh boy I was younger I would tackle it you r a good teacher too
Great job. Thank you for taking your time...
The dog is so cute 😅
This is a wonderful video, and the craftsman has a gift for explaining. He's pleasant and easy to take. Still, some diagrams, interspersed in the early part of the video, would have helped the viewer understand quite exactly what was to be measured.
very helpful
Really nice clean work! Thx
On the multi tool. I use when working with stucco the carbide tipped blades. with those blades you can cut through stucco with ease. Great for when cutting in for electrical outlets and such. They last a good long while. Note once used on stucco I never use it on anything else because they become dull. But work great with stucco.
You are great. Thanks for teaching us.
You are so welcome!
Your videos are awesome thsnk you. Couple of request, can you do a video on Building garage storage, i would like to build ceiling shelves above the garage door. also. can you do a video on replacing electrical outlets ex; gfci outlet
Shannon - thanks for an excellent "how to"!
Another 1/4" build out for the silicone would have made it much easier to apply... and speaking of that, get rid of that clear silicone! It will dry, accumulate all the dirt and will look like garbage in a short time. Go with a paintable latex caulk, paint it to match your stucco and your stucco/window frame transition will look so much better.
Awesome as usual
Good job sir ! Helpful information !
Thanks my friend, as always great video and tutorial, God bless you and your family and business.
Thank you!
Hi Shannon, I am planning on installing a window in my shed building and need a tool to cut the corners of the lap siding. What multi tool would you recommend for the corner cuts. I want to trim back the LP Smart Side lap siding to trim out my window.
Great video
I didn’t know Dave Tourin from Gold Rush use to do window installation also! 😂
What about putting some shims on top of the window sill so the window sits on the shims instead of the sill? I've seen you do this on your other window videos, but I don't think you did it here. Any reason for that? Just wondering. Thanks for the video.
Good video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
No you dont need to put in a smaller window if you take it out the second way you suggested . You just need to cut of the flanges on the new windows and place new window in opening on the inside of windo drill holes through the first layer of vinel not through the second. The hole should be just big enough for screw head to pop through . Use screws to adjust windows caulk the outside and inside. Put vinel plugs in the holes you drilled for the screws for finish look
I can appreciate your attention to details. I know that you said the waterproofing details are in another video, but this is a retrofit. How would you waterproof the space between the outer edges of the blue tape and the edge of the stucco now that the building paper has been cut?
You can run a bead of caulking in there .
Hole saw around the nail 15:00 Or sharp chisel at a 45 on vinyl
Can I do this with a sliding door replacement on a stucco?
Interesting
This install is great Shannon. Only one problem. I can't find a supplier. Can you please drop some manufacturers, Brand names, and models of these 2 inch renovation brick mold windows. I plan on using them on a Central Arizona Stucco home. Honestly I can't find anyone that's heard of this type on install, using a cap plate to conceal anchor screws. Thanks for your input in advance.
Who makes the window you installed? I have a stucco house and I can't seem to find a manufacturer who makes a stucco window with that flange. Thank you!
Great video and thanks! I want all my windows replaced and I can't seem to find anyone in my area that wants to deal with the stucco. These types of houses are not that common in S.Eastern Massachusetts.
Good luck!
dont worry about breaking past your perfect cut out lines on stucco , it is meant to be jagged in order to have " keys " where the new stucco will fit into and make it bond together . i break it out with a hammer and also it needs to be 4 inches past so you can tie into the existing paper and wire to have a proper lap , good video though !
You’re the BEST! Your
video editing is great! I like the fast
motion for the boring parts is just right.
Although I’ll never change a window on a stucco wall, I still watched it
because you are interesting. I like the
thought processing in sizing things, i.e. brick molding. I hope you guys make a lot on RUclips ads because
you deserve it. I recommend you to all
my friends. My son-in-law building a new
home used your channel a lot. Some scripting could be done better, like using
the common names for tools and materials; cat’s claw, backer rod, etc. But otherwise everything is very well done. Keep up the good work.
When ever you are cutting with grinder hold vacuum up to suck dust while cutting with other hand.
I’m new to stucco, I was wondering how much work would be involved replacing my windows thanks a lot .
Its a lot of dusty labour.
bmw575 careful
I was told to remove 3-5 inches of stucco and keep the paper intact to be able to overlap flashing and be truly sealed.
do a video on how to bend conduct pipe please
buy pipe, get pipe bender, bend pipe.
clear silicone..opps....I do not think that's the best option here to caulk around the windows with that...but again..thank you for your RUclips endevours
I live in Arizona this type of window that you're putting in to replace the old window do you know what type it is I searched and could not find that type of window with that flange I have an older stucco house my windows need replacing or old aluminum windows like do you know the men manufacture that makes that window thank you very much looks like you do a very good job
It amazes me that this type of exterior window trim is not available everywhere. These particular windows are produced by "Allweather Windows and Doors".
Would it be possible to grind off the nail heads.
Please show a video where you installed the flashing for the rough wood and stucco that was already there. I have a similar situation and want to make sure it is watertight. I ordered retrofit windows but I am also removing the existing window sill and installing the window on the rough opening. Please direct me how to ensure that it will be water tight without having to open up any more stucco than you did. Thanks
watch this, it gives you the basic idea of the membraneruclips.net/video/dC3_0srY0Rs/видео.html
great video as always shannon ,,,,,could i use the cordless vibrating tool to cut around the remaining nails if im not to use that window?
Frankah Rodriguez what ? repeat that one more time ?
sorry...i should of said oscillating tool!
Absolutely, just don’t plunge into the wood too much.
I would probably just cut the window nailing flange too....unless you wanted to save the window frame..but thank you for your videos
Cutting your nail flange is quick and easy. But you’ll never meet fenestration code and the window could leak catastrophically down the road.
Thanks for the video. Do you have anything on how to patch the stucco popout if you weren't using the brick moulding?
No, sorry
@@HouseImprovements any resources you can direct me to? Much appreciated
Great Video. I needed this video. I just got some unreal quotes to install windows and figured I could do it myself. What windows are those and where did you buy them from? Thank You
Would the same principal apply when removing a door?
yes it could if it is the same type with a nail fin.
Can you make a video from start to finish on how to replace the window
Your work is amazing. I’m trying to get estimates for replacing some custom arch windows and it’s been a pain. Do you do the same thing to replace those and how would I measure to order them? Also do I have to restucco over them ? Thanks
Arched windows are a little different , you are better off having the supplier do the measuring to avoid mistakes and if there is a mistake you are not on the hook. With arched windows ,fixing the stucco would be a better finish
I noticed the lack of lap over the stucco cut out at the bottom of the window? Isn't best practice to run it over as per the redirection of water if it does penetrate the silicone into the rough opening?
I was going to say the same thing. Fluid flashing is awesome but if you're not tied to the existing building paper/WRB then it's largely useless...
I would have liked to see how you plumbed the window. You said it needed to be shifted at the top and I guess you went inside, but you did not show us what you did?
Just out of curiosityy,what was wrong with the existing windows?
hail damage
I’m so sorry to bother you but I have an arched window that I’m replacing and the stucco is flat doesn’t have that edge (window frame) do I have to build it or how do I build it because my window sticks about half inch out from the stucco the way it is right now. Also I didn’t see any metal pieces on top of the window which I’ve seen other videos install do I have to put that ? Thanks so much in advance
Please copy and paste your question to our forum and we can help from there.www.house-improvements.com/forums/
O o
Thank
Its technically called a 2 coat system, not sure I have ever heard it called a build out?? basically its a brown coat then they come over that with the color coat. Not sure how water proofed the application is?? once your paper membrane has been cut away, your never going to have that unbroken barrier against water penetration. ???? great video, just wondering how effective your added moisture barrier will be against water intrusion in the future.
Yo Shan you need a helper I live in Los Angeles I got truck
Pretty sure that clear caulking will look pretty ugly in a year or so. Thanks for the vide.
Was this a replacement window or a new construction window?
Really can be used in either situation.
Around 14:47 - could you also just use a multitool to cut that section of the flange off?
yes.
you need to cut more the stucco to get that window in level
Finally!
In other such videos, guys are breaking several inches of stucco away from the opening, in order to get flashing behind the chicken wire and subsequent re-stucco. This method of flashing has nothing past the stucco point. Is this acceptable only because you have a large windows trim flange? If not for that flange, what would you have done for flashing? Thanks.
If your new windows have a nail fin then taking at least another couple inches of stucco and then flashing and re stuccoing is the way to go.
I use a circular caw to cut it out . Way faster
Did anyone else see that pelican attack at 19:23?
Curious but wouldn't fitting a flangeless window work better after cutting at the flange without disturbing the stucco at all?
Pros cons?
Who is the window manufacturer? I can't seem to find those renovation brick mold style windows anywhere.
These ones are made by All Weather Windows , Jeldwin will have them also and likely many more . The local big box stores will not have them on the shelf because they are slightly more $$. Talk to a sales person and they should be able to help you.
@@HouseImprovements can you please point me to a video you have or explain how I measure for my replacement window size?
What's up with this house? It does not look very old and they are on the third set of windows already?
Second set of windows. Hail damage
Who is the manufacturer of the replacement window?
I believe these were" All Weather" windows.
Dog looks like a fox, complete with bushy tail, but black with a little white.
What kind of window is that? Where the screws go in the channel?
These windows have a "renovation brickmold" Not every manufacture has this option but for the life of me I dont know why, they are the handiest windows!
@@HouseImprovements thank you. It like these windows are easier for stucco, and if you ever need to replace them you don’t have to cut into the stucco
Who makes that 2 inch renovation brickmold window
Great one once again Shannon.
The only thing I would say as extra precaution. Use a real good face mask VS the N95 throwaway masks. Reason being you have no idea what is in the dust you are breathing. We only have one set of lungs for a lifetime. And it sure would suck to get to retirement and not have good lungs to enjoy the latter years. As always that's just my opinion. Bob the Full Service Handyman.
Uy
Might bit of work
That is taking the looonnnggg road to replacing a window and helpful hint, DON'T use silicone it is not paintable. Use a Quad caulk or Lexal.
what % of your jobs do you get from youtube?
zero
Call the studio and say you got the window to jump out of .. that way they po ay you @@
Why don't you just cut the window right out from the flange and then pull the flange out? Is the window being saved for something?
The window is not being saved and you could cut the flange between the window and stucco edge but the flange will not just pull out without removing the nails and I need the edge of the wood exposed anyways to install the new window.
@@HouseImprovements I got that part I was just wondering if you could do it that way so it would be easier to pull out the flange without having to scrap alongside the finished stucco edge.
I will be doing the same thing to four windows and first time pulling from stucco so I don't want any mistakes on my end lol
NO NO NO This is not how you tear a window out or install a window. You do not chip stucco out for one, tearing out old there should be no stucco damaged at ALL. Deglaze glass and take glass out of frame, in most cases the bottom glass (sash) should be able to take out frame, glass and all, once glass is out. Then take saw all and make cut on side of frame as far as you can with out cutting in to stucco and drywall. Now pry frame out with flat bar. Called collapsing the frame out. Now if your worried about damaging dry wall when you pry cut a piece of wood 12 inch long or so and put board between drywall and pry bar, do not worry if pry bar damages drywall close to old frame cause new window is thicker frame and will be cut out for larger buck or new window will cover damage. Next depending where you live in florida by code, if the wood is beveled like it is in case of this video. The drywall has to be cut back even to edge of new window cause new window should have thicker frame, remove beveled wood (buck) and replace with wood (buck) that fits the whole width of drywall that you cut back to stucco. Then you are ready to set window. Now if window has a flange around outside of window you measure out side stucco and cut flange to fit outside stucco. Now how you measure for new window, measure inside of window Drywall To Drywall Width and Height, then order you new window with a outside flange, that you can trim outside flange to fit stucco. Tip: make sure when you order you new window that the order measurements are for inside of new window not the flange size. Now some places when you order, they take outside flange measurements for ordering new window. If this is so just and 1 inch to width and height to your inside drywall to drywall measurements and that is your flange size for ordering by flange. Just in case you doubt that i know what im doing i own the window companies and i personally install around 2300 units a year. Thanks And God Bless
I have never cut stucco out to change window out. NEVER
Doing way more work than necessary.
Please upload a video describing your method outlining the differences. Provoke a discussion, and help us DIY'ers out =D
So you always replace windows smaller then the one you remove..lol🤔🤔
This window was 2 inches larger also being put in .....do he showed you how to get the flanges out....makes sense so you do have them in ur way
