The reason some give thumbs down, is because you don't try to hide your so-called flaws or unforeseen little things that the job always throws at everyone. You have to be a little patient to see talent. This is a big fault of Hollywood's perfect this and that and advertisements, infomercials etc, where everything is just perfect, perfect. This is not real, you poor fools. That is exactly what I like about Shannon. A really better carpenter is better, if true, by a good nature and positive attitude a good parent, a good neighbour, a patient teacher, etc. Shannon is that guy! You go boy!

Thanks, I listened carefully to the video and installed a window today without any problems.

Dera Shannon, I've done quite a few home improvement projects with your help and wanted to thank you for putting up these videos. They are very professional and well explained. In my area, it's near impossible to find any good handyman to hire, so the best option one has is to just go and do it oneself!

One of the best reasons that i Like your videos; is that they are real life situations and idea practices involved to solve them. Thank you.....big fan keep doing what your doing

Your instruction is beyond professional. If I were looking to hire someone to do this job I'd search you out! Above all, the pride you take in your work stands out big time, from checking and double-checking to your great organization and savvy. Thanks for this video. You rock.

I just wanted to let you know that I have watched,liked, and learned so much from your videos. The way that you narrate while you work is so very helpful and I as a newbie at home improvement really appreciate it and you.

Your a good man, I appreciate the way you slowly and meticulously explain from beginning to end, the how to..not getting all excited, just showing how it's done. Very professional and much needed. Thank you

Just changed a couple of windows on my house. I had a rough idea what would be required but this video gave me the confidence that I was doing it right! Excellent video, thanks!

Great comments and instruction tips. I appreciate that he shows the entire video of working around the window and not cutting it out. Thanks for the education!

Thanks for all you videos ive watched all of them now except for about 5, been sitting here 3 days watching lol. Your a great wealth of knowledge and its hard to stop wanting to learn, Thanks!

Best window replacement video on KZfaq. Nice job brother.

Thanks Tom. The master carpenter is so important when teaching. It is so heartening to see an apprenticeship program in action and know they will carry on this knowledge, skills and tricks of the trade from a solid teacher.

Thanks Shannon! Your video's are the best I have come across for a few projects now. Thanks for being a great guy and sharing you wisdom with us!

Your videos are always so helpful for us DIY types--very informative and thorough. You clearly take a lot of pride in your work.

This level of detail you guys show is AWESOME. I'd even buy a dvd if it had videos with this kind of quality!

Nice job on this window replacement video Shannon. You spent the time going in to great detail and clearly showing how replacement windows should be installed professionally and accurately. I learned quite a bit by the time I was done watching your video..thanks man, great job..

These windows i'm using are called a renovator window but could be used in new construction as well. They have a brick mould around the outside instead of a nailing flange. This way I do not need to cover the nailing flange with some kind of trim. I think most retrofits have the nailing flange.

Great video Shannon! I can do most repairs myself but I always seek guidance whenever I venture into new territory. Your video was everything I needed to know. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

By far this is the most comprehensive and user friendly DIY channel in my list. Thank you for the no BS all good info channel! I have done home reno in the past and am getting ready to take on another project. I use this channel to update my knowledge.

That was great, you are very easy to follow and understand. I am in need of replacing all my windows and am researching everything including doing it myself in hopes to save some money. This video clarified the steps, I will watch it again when the time comes. Thank You!

I am in San Francisco. We get some rain here. Most people seem to let their maintenance slide and thats when the problems start. Thanks for the great videos! Keep them coming.

Good instructional video -- very thorough. After watching it, I feel I can actually replace my window. I'll watch it a few more times to build up my confidence. Thanks.

I have learned so much from your extremely well explained videos that I must congratulate you on it and tell you that I am ready to start on my own projects! Thank you!

Jerking off the can was hilarious, nice save lifting the can back into the frame and showing us you weren't doing anything inappropriate was smooth.

Thank you so much... your video is going to be very helpful to my window project. Out of all the videos I search for a good "how to install a window", your video is by far the best and well explain, step by step on how to install a window... Awesome!!!

Wow, that is a detailed video. I don't think I've ever seen a window installation video go into that much detail! Well done.

My anxiety about replacing 2 basement windows on my 80s house quickly dissappeared watching this video. Thx a ton.

Best I have seen on this project. Well done

Thanks Shannon! After watching so many videos you have produced I have finally subscribed.

Thank you Shannon for sharing all your videos and great topics.

Hey, great video! I like the way you showed the steps of how to replace a window.

Love your videos. You're very knowledgeable and explain the work so it's easy to understand. Just wanted you to know that you helped me, thank you.

This probably one of the most underrated home improvement channel...

Good show and tell, used this informative video when replacing two windows at my house...Thanks.

This was a great window replacement video, I learned a lot . Thanks very much Joe

Great detailed video Shannon. Thank you for mentioning stucco construction, that saved me some extra research!

loves your videos very informative and you show the whole process after watching your videos I'm not afraid to do this myself thanks !

I really your humility dude, calm chilled..real cool.

A good teacher you are :) I like how you always mention the little details... Love from the Hammer Ontario :v:

Very excellent presentation. Lot’s of little tips that you demonstrated quite well. Thank you!

he explains everything so well. hes the man

Great job explaining You make it look simple. thanks for your time.

I love watching you. Your approach is always to do the very best work possible. I just had new windows installed, the same ones, a second time and a few up to 5 times by a large contractor here. My windows and exterior are a complete mess now. Inexperienced crew, no supervision or direction. Ive withheld payment until I have opinions from 3 reputable window companies because Im absolutely sure they are the wrong windows for the job.

Excellent video! thank you Shannon, this video has helped me out alot.

You are good and your explanations is awesome. God bless you

Very clear, detail and informative instructions for window replacement DIY

You did a great job of explaining this! I just love your videos!

Excellent job! You did it the right way! I commend you! Thank you for sharing!

Shannon is one of the few contractors who would not be sent away immediate if they showed up in cotton shorts!

Super excited to give this a try! Thank you

You would make a great instructor. Thanks so much for this.

You are the best man !!! Your videos are awesome Thank you for teaching us I have learned a lot with you

Great video, I appreciate your attention to detail.

Pro tip on doing two layers of expanding foam. Never thought of that.

Awesome job man. Try liquid flashing for tight areas and clearance issues. We use tap con for Impact windows from inside or SS screws.Have a good day and great build.Peace.Door and Window guy ~Florida

This year is the year of 2019, I still learning and love to learn everything from everyone. Thank you very much.+1 (Note: I learn and never do the job because I don't have a house.)

Always have great videos with lots of info. I'm going to save the $400 I was quoted on getting a window installed! Thanks

Shanon you r the best bro I replaced all my windows by myself

Great video man. I always reference your videos when looking to do future projects. Many others are unclear and with poor sound and confusing instructions. Thanks!

Good job thankyou you're patience to explain

Thank you very much, you do great job, always very professional, my self I lean a lot from you God bless you man.

Thank you for all your videos!💪👍

Awesome video, thank you. Very detailed an explanatory ...

Super informative! Thank you

GREAT VIDEO VERY THOROUGH. EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW. THANKS.

Good cut, you're a boss, thanks for the video.

as someone with little to no experience doing home improvements this video was a great help! After watching you do it, it seems like a fairly simple process and I feel like I can get through replacing the windows in my home with a little luck and a lot of hope hahaha. My only problem now is that reading through some of the comments that maybe there were a few things that could have been done a bit differently, but just from reading the changes they would have made, I can't tell exactly how it would be done.

Thank you for the great education, have learn a lot today. Mahalo.

Great Videos very helpful step by step.

Man does that look great. Thanks for the video

Shannon your videos are great I learn alot from how DIY how to install sidings and replacing new widows thanks

This is a "GREAT" presentation, well done Shannon***** :-)

your videos are incredible. keep them coming i guarantee youll get more subscribers

My dad's house has them and he said that he did pocket replacement, because they were cheaper. The only reason why I'm glad he made that choice is that we have the old trim, the resilient trim. I bet you can go to Menards of somewhere and buy the exact trim.

Great video Shannon - thank you

Great training video. Well done.

Very well done. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the detailed video, very helpful and it will come in handy even though it's 8 years old now :) had to grin at CJ Walters' remark though, as I wouldn't replace my windows if they looked anything like the ones you are replacing, LOL :)

Great work, thanks for showing this and the full explanation!!

Shannon, you do Nice work! The video quality is good too. I've watched several of your instructional videos and they're all top quality . I like how clearly you explain every aspect of the job in thorough detail. Thanks for your important contributions and keep up the great work! Ujeb08

Great informative video. Thanks.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Good job Shannon!

thanks for the help video really was helpful. love the videos

I am really appreciated for your helps , thank you so much!!!!!#

great video---i learned a lot

Thanks Shannon! Going for it this weekend, thankfully have trimmed out windows to replace so don't need to cut the siding, but i was wondering, in lieu of a cedar shingle, what sort of thickness on the shims for the lower side of the rough opening, how much of a gap do I want there?

These are a" All weather" window with 2" reno brick mould and full jam extensions. Canadian company

I have that same exact drill... great video btw.

Great video. Thanks.

Where did u get the trim from for the outside wall? Love your videos by the way..very prescise and informative!

Please go to my forum to re-ask that question , you will find it on my website and there is a link right below this video but before the comments area.

Great job and you are obviously a good carpenter. Homeowners beware of using the circular saw like that if you are not skilled or don't have a lot of practice, easy to make mistakes or get hurt. One trick that can help is make a guide for each side of the window using 2x4's nailed into the siding. Don't go all the way to the corners but use something like a plunge cutter for those so you don't accidentally run your cuts long. Then when your done you can just putty the small nail holes in the siding that are leftover from removing your 2x4 guides.....could be cheaper than replacing damaged siding from overcutting or bad lines. Awesome video!

I like the video. Good job on the windows

this is almost identical to our procedure except where the owner preferred a near perfect seal around window. we would add a flex rubber "boot" all around window, 4" minimum flash play inside and out, with seal between layers so that all caulking sealant did not touch any wood. There's a good example seal failure and not being rubber cladded in youtube of a window where after 15 years the window was at the point of falling out completely because of rotten wood. It was a major rebuilding of the living room window including replacing all of the wood at least 12" from the original outline and stud framing both sides of the window.

I like ranch style trim, it's my favorite. Is it easier to remove a window from the interior of exterior? If it's a double hung, probably the interior, because i know you have to remove the window stops, the sashes, sash cords, parting bead etc.

One of the best video on you tube .thanks for info .I baught 2 pain windows is there any big diffrence in 2 pane and three pane windows?

The thin flat pry bar you are using is a common beekeeping tool . We call it a hive tool. We use it to pry apart hive bodies and fres the bees have 'glued' together. I never considered using my hive tool in my carpentry projects and I'm kicking myself for missing this obvious use.

This is exactly how I did my windows. Good vid except I suggest using DAP foam insulation. Cleans up with just water very well. I actually used larger outside trim but besides that exact same install setup.

Great job
