Casement windows, windows that are attached to their frame by one or more hinges and usually have cranks, can need replacing over time due to wear and weathering. Here we replace a casement window and the shingles surrounding it.

Bob and Joe install a unique custom built casement window. It is extra wide with an arched top and painted peacock blue. Before installation Joe added additional depth to the windowsill by furring it out with 2x3 metal studs. He also made sure the frame was level and ready to support the window and its arched frame. After placing the window into the frame and lightly securing it he demonstrates cross measuring to insure the window is seated properly and not bowed.

In this episode of Bob Vila's Home Again, Bob introduces us to an 1890s Brownstone on New York's Upper West Side. Brownstones were built on the sidestreets off Central Park West for wealthy New Yorkers who wanted large family homes with proximity to the city. These row houses were made of Brownstone quarried in Connecticut and carved with high-quality Victorian detailing. Much detailing still remains on the facade of this building, including the wrought iron window grilles, the original entry doors, and the carving. Other details have been removed, like the stoop that once led to the main floor, which became the second floor with theconversion to apartments in the 1940s. Additions from the original conversion and later updates have left aluminum railings, steel staircases, and iron casement windows as glaring examples of practical remodeling with no attention to the character or history of the building.

Bob and Chris Vila review the spaces and fixtures in the New York Brownstone prior to demolition. In the pink kitchen, 50s cabinets with interior lighting are marked for architectural salvage. The cut-through to the front apartment still has the door and the intercom feature on the wall. They continue to the front of the apartment where a pink-tiled bathroom with an elegant, vintage sink on tapered legs will also be marked for salvage. A series of chopped-up spaces lead to the front room, which has high, iron casement windows and ceilings that are 12 feet or more. Bob and Chris Vila look at the windows that will be removed and replaced once they receive the Landmarks Preservation Commission's approval.
