Perhaps, it's the first time you read about how to replace residential windows so I will try to keep this brief and to the point i.e. as less complicated as I can. Window replacement is a great way of renovating one's house, and offers the whole setting a new uniformed look, and depending on your choice of window selection, may offer energy saving and security features as well.
The first step in the topic of how to replace residential windows is choosing a good window, one that is secure, and noise proof and has some insulating abilities too. Like the low e-glass window, that has a thin layer of insulation on one side which prevents heat loss or gain, as well as prohibits the harmful UV's that may creep into one's house, damaging not just the skin, but UV sensitive items in the house too.
Measuring for the new window is very important. Make sure you take the old one out when taking measurements and scrap out the interior trim very carefully too, a careless step at this stage could mean that the new window is 1-2 inch too short and would not fit in.
While you are proceeding with the project try to use a hammer claw to remove the old window, carefully removing any nails that may be keeping the window in place, with all securities removed, the old window will come out nicely. Now clear any debris, and bits and patches, remnants of the old window will never let you move on to the new one. Use a level to check if it the new window is right where it should be and nail it down. Use nails every 4-6 inches apart.
