At first I didnt get what he meant but by the end, what a difference! That is gorgeous
This old timer is the last of a dying breed, takes pride in his work, is tedious, does a fantastic job, beutiful to watch tradesman do there craft right !
love watching the old timers work. always a lot more to what they say and do. make a complicated mess look so simple and easy. true knowledge.
Wow, now I see missing window casings everywhere on vinyl siding.
this is EXACTLY the video that I was looking for!
Does anyone know how thermal expansion works with vinyl window trim? How are you supposed to miter the corners and make them flush with each other when you need to leave room for vinyl expansion?
What a nice improvement
I have asbestos shingles for siding, is there a way I could do this for my house without the J channel? Just vinyl casings?
Nice to see that old man in a video!
Looks nice👍
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am planning to do the same, but I can't find vinyl casing, Colonial molding, and J-channel, could you give me a clue? please
I know this is an old video but does anybody know where those pieces can be bought
Yes sir!! Very nice
I have an addition that was build on the back of our home. It was placed directly behind where we lost the bedroom window which since been relocated to the north side in the back bedroom. leaving the frame where the window was. How would I correct this as there is a closed opening where the window was and my mother in laws bedroom wall is coving from the other side. i looked and cannot find anything on utube...help.
Outstanding
Are these pieces also sturdy enough to place functional shutters?
I have this kind of vinyl window sill on my home but it must have been a while since installed because it's now sagged and warped. Wasps have made a home inside it because the end caps fell off. Little things I didn't notice when buying the home during the middle of winter when it's all covered in snow and ice. But at least now I can probably replace it seeing how it's installed.
Those hands have seen some real hard work trough its life.
I would love to know what product this is and if they even make this anymore. It would be a great product to add to my services
Where do you get the vinyl windowsill? Amazon, Home Depot, or Lowes?
I am siding a wall but I have a breezeway right in the center how can be sure that one side will meet with the other once I get over the roof point??
The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install kzread.infoUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC
What about the storm window? Does it/can it go back?
Thanks for the great video. Where can I purchase these trim items, I am in New Hampshire?
Wow Where can I buy this type of vinyl materials? The big box stores do not have Them on display
This is great looks good. Problem is it will cost 3x more for material (if not more) and probably double labor but if thats what the home owner wants its what they get 😊
You can do a whole house with Simonton’s vinyl contractor new construction windows with j channel built and nailing flange for $2,600-3,500 on average with higher end including some mulled picture or bay windows. Then you properly weather seal each window with sealant chalk and protective tape or liquid flashing and put the siding back up as it was. But if you wanted a more Premỉum product Andersen 400 series with snap in trim and plethora of other cool features and wood interiors for about $11-13k in materials. At home depot you can get 15-20% off retail price buying them in bulk or during a sale depending on specs. If you don’t want to DIY though Just don’t go to Renewal they will overprice the same exact Andersen windows you can get at Home Depot installed by their window install team at 200% or more cost.

Hello nice job we're can we buy these products
Seeing this as a Contractor, reminds me that we have a lot of junk to throw away and replace now. That window is probably as old as that guy.
Tthe casing face and molding in this case is manufacture made but the window sil is custom made. In another word, he brake the sil .please corect me if i am wrong . I want to redo my windows. Thanks
This is very cool. I haven't been able to find the products used for the trim though. My window has the J-trim right against the edge of the old windows, not even distanced like in this video. I was hoping to find more info on how to move the siding out of the way a bit. My windows have no ledge/sill on the outside. They sit flush against the exterior profile of the house.

Too bad nobody could take the time to help you. I hope you found what you were looking for. I want to add a 5 inch to 6 inch trim around my windows, but my house is already built and has siding around the windows. I guess I would have to cut some of the siding away in order to get the trim pieces in against the plywood. Just now looking into this but I want to do it myself once I find more info and the product that is best.

Where is this vinyl casing come from
$300-500 per window now probably, back then, $100 per casing, most times you ask the homeowner if they want window casings, but many times the Tin Men take over.
Where can I buy the sills? I'm in NYS.

What is the manufacturer of the product and the jig? I am looking for vinyl trim like this Can anyone help?
where we can found these materials?
Noob here, dont you have to put some sort of caulking so water doesnt get behind the molding?
Vynl trim probably cost more than replacing the window.. I can't find that stuff anywhere.. also there's too many things connected why not use the actual molding for the j channel it has a slot for that.. also vinyl expands and contracts so those miters aren't going to look great in a month.. cut 45's but leave under piece square, the 45 will always be there
That vinyl sill should extend to under the bottom sash, shouldn’t it?
thanks for the wonderful video. I am planning to install vinyl siding on one side of my attached garage wall, which was covered with plywood and painted on top, now the plywood is no good anymore. I wonder if I isntall vinyl siding on top, do I need to completely remove the old plywood? Also, shall I install some special water/insulation paper before installing vinyl siding? many thanks

Jian Ping to be more specific. replace any ply that has water damage. just cut back to the nearest stud and place a new piece in place. and that's only needed if the ply is so weak it wont hold a nail. after that you want to tyvek or house wrap. start from the lowest point and work up. Overlaps should be down so water can not run behind the wrapping. tape all seams. Run Jchannel and side (the easy part.)

Mean jig should have it. Been installing for thirty years. Miter cuts give a more wood appearance
Where can we find this product?? Who’s the manufacturer?
Should of miter top corners would of gave detail appearance. The jig has it.
Real pro 😅
he's taken "that old 70's look right off the house" to bring it to the 1700's
Missed the perfect opportunity to replace the old crappy windows
that's great and all, but what about the storm windows? it's gonna kinda suck if you can't open a window without a screen, because then the little critters of nature will slowly make their way INSIDE...

Great job. why are the windows so ugly in North America compared to Europe. It's such a important detail and can make a big difference.

Probably money, mostly. An 'ugly' window already costs an arm and a leg. Get fancy with it and the price is astronomical. Kind of the same reason someone put vinyl siding on an old house instead of a more stylish product.
Would’ve looked better with mitered corners tho
Huh that seems extreme. I don’t wanna rip my siding off

"Takes all the architectural detail out of the house" says the man whos job description is vinyl siding installer lol
Jig so tight ten degree temperature change and bowing or gaps will result. All vinyl needs movement permitted. And azek and all vybil including boards -- that trim that tight allows for zero expansion or movement. Oyeeeee wavy siding and compromised water entry by design lol
Why couldn't they have done this in the first place?
It does look better but unless they replace the window it's gonna leak tons of air.
Why would they put beige trim on a white house? They should've used white or black trim
I really like the Woodglut plans.
Its nothing there. Solid pvc is the way to go.
I do a video for DIY J trim. Check it out if your still having troubles! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKuaj69uf5PeYZM.html
the way the siding is finished around the ends of the sill is not expectable. The siding expands and contracts and there is no trim to hide the but cuts on the siding to the ends of the sill. This does not look good
No novice would ever attempt this LOL
Should just replace that POS window at that point. Halfway there already.
Replace those crappy windows while your'e at it.
That's good and all; but, you took away the R value by removing the outer storm window. What good is that if your windows leak air? They may look good but its going to cost you every month! Not really a professional way to show off a new product. Shame on you This Old Hag.

Perfectly mitered window casing isn't original or historic. There should be a way to make a header and crown/drip cap. If there isn't a way to do that, then shame on this product.
It's a wasted effort.
Too much work
You skipped the hard parts, and used an aluminum coping jig that nobody else will ever have, so this video is nearly worthless.
