How to remove a window with vinyl siding.

Most windows are removed and replaced from the exterior of the home. Now is also the time to add or replace a vinyl sill if you would like a window sill feature. You can also score the siding. Use a hammer or a drill to take out any nails or screws that are holding the window in place.

Tin snips are used much like scissors. If the piece still seems attached to the wall gently pull it outward so it comes free of the channel holding it in. Sometimes there are little pieces of wood between the window and the wooden studs that hold the window tight. Vinyl siding can be cut with either tin snips or a utility knife.

Remove any damaged vinyl siding. The easiest way to replace windows in a home with vinyl siding is to do the job from the interior. Instead remove any nails then use a siding removal tool to separate the siding panels. If the siding is hard to remove try tapping it with the palm of your hand.
