How to remove a window with vinyl siding.

Sometimes there are little pieces of wood between the window and the wooden studs that hold the window tight. Vinyl siding presents a challenging obstacle when replacing windows because of the difficulty and expense of cutting and replacing it. Tin snips are used much like scissors. If the vinyl siding around the window area has been damaged or needs replacing then now is the time to remove it.

If the piece still seems attached to the wall gently pull it outward so it comes free of the channel holding it in. Most windows are removed and replaced from the exterior of the home. Vinyl siding can be cut with either tin snips or a utility knife. You can also score the siding.

If it remains stuck double check to see if. Avoid closing the snips entirely to create a smoother cut. If the siding is hard to remove try tapping it with the palm of your hand. Now is also the time to add or replace a vinyl sill if you would like a window sill feature.
