Many homeowners have considered installing replacement windows on their own, after seeing the high estimate on the work. The process of installing a replacement window is not a simple one. You have to consult with professionals, even if you do it on your own. The installation process for each replacement window is different, so you have to pay close attention to the installation instruction. You will need several tools for the work.

Full-frame windows aren’t like the replacement ones. Replacement windows are made to fit into existing window openings. There are some basic types of windows, such as full frame units and sash replacement kits. Full frame windows are similar to inserts, but they have a total frame that includes a head jamb and side jab.

The most important step of the replacement process is collecting all measurement data.

The measurement is taken before the installation work, allowing you to purchase windows of the right size. Measure the dimensions of your existing window and keep the data. Start by measuring the inside width of the old window frame, jamb to jamb, in three places:

• Top
• Middle
• Bottom

You should also use an angle measuring tool to determine the slope.

Now you have to remove the old sash from the window frame. In some cases you’ll need to unscrew them from the window frame. Pry off or unscrew the interior wooden stops to remove the lower sash. You must be careful during the sash removal work, as they break easily. You won’t need any special tools for the sash replacement work. Press in on the jamb liners, and pull the top of the sash forward—that will do the work.

Now you have to prepare the frame for new installation. You have to scrape off all loose paint and patch any holes or cracks with wood putty.
