Well guys...I couldn't think of a better group (cheap bastards) to ask about your replacement window experiences. Its going to hurt...I've got 35 freakin windows on my house.
I know I want a vinyl window but which brand and model type is now the question. What did you choose and have you been happy with them? This year will SUCK for home repairs but its got to be done. Tony |

I did mine myself.
The easiest is the one that sits in the existing frame, however you loose "daylight" size of the window. Option 2 (the one I did) required you to set the depth of a skill saw for a little over depth of the siding, and cut out around the window. This allows you to get to the nail flange of the window. You can then nail a new window in and add brickmold around the outside. I added flashing at the top also. Fortunately I have a buddy that does these that showed me how to do it. I would recommend this method. |
