Andersen knows how to install windows better than Jeldwen does. Take the weights out of the window and insulate where they used to be. Make sure before you caulk the frame, make sure that the window fits in the opening, and Take out both sashes, so it's easier to lift it into the frame and test both of the to make sure that they work. Like Andersen says, Test the window and make sure that all the parts need came with and make sure that the window works.
I guess that's the easy way to do it. I wanted bigger windows, so I took out the whole frame of my previous windows, and even increased the size of the opening by about an inch to get my new windows to fit.
Of course, tearing into the house that much, then I had to replace rotten wood around the opening and redo a lot of drywall on the inside. But, I love the light that comes into the rooms now!
Windows to avoid at this point are: Pella, Marlborough,Farley,Jeld-wen and Alcan unless you want to keep your old Pearson, Donat Flamand, Vyna-guard or Laflamme. Damn guys who design those windows uses one of the best sealed unit on the market and wrap them in bio degradable, flimsy shit that they call vinyl. I just can wait to see who will come up with a decent fiberglass frame...Hey, it is all glass therefore it should expand and contract at the same rate. I go with North star. Fool proof...
@1899lpv I'm an Andersen Fan and expert, but if I had to buy a non Andersen Company window, it would be Jeld- Wen. Andersen owns Renewel By Andersen, Silverline, and Eagle.
I am a window installer and there are many window styles out there, take a pic or two of what you have and take it to a pro (NOT HOME DEPOT), get advice from a company that deals only in windows and doors...
and do your research, jeld-wen products where I am from are over priced and of poor quality (HOME DEPOT)! GET A GOOD WARRANTY IF YOU ARE UNSURE!!!
@jvonharder Why do you think that I quit my job 2 months ago...The customers watch too many Home renovation shows. I want those windows because the host is good and if he installs them it means they are the best...Lady , I can't install your windows because they are flanged and you have Stucco outside. I have to adjust the price because the openings are too small. I told you...let me measure and order the windows. That big JW sticker is only good in the bathroom from my point of view.
This is so far one of the best instructional videos for removing double hung wooden windows and reinstalling replacement vinyl windows. Better then those fools at expert village

@1899lpv I've heard northstar is a good window, however their distribution is lacking in the mid-Atlantic region.
Not one dealer in a 250 mile radius of Richmond, VA - What gives?
