How to Remove a Humphrey Flush Mount Storm Window

Prep

• 1

  Cut along the outside edge of the window at the top, bottom and both sides, using a utility knife to cut through any caulking or sealant that was used to adhere the window during the original installation or in subsequent maintenance and repairs.

• 2

  Scrape a wood chisel with the flat of the blade against the face of the frame along the outside edge of the window to remove as much of the existing caulk as you possibly can.

• 3

  Set the tip of the chisel blade into the seam of the screw head cover strip at one bottom corner and pry the cover away from the frame. Work your way, removing the cover strip as you go. Remove it from both sides, the top and bottom of the window frame to expose the screw heads.

Removal

• 4

  Fit a screw tip into a cordless drill. Remove the screws from the frame by reversing the drill. Start at the bottom of the window and work up both sides of the window toward the top. Remove the top screws last, holding the window in firmly against the wall.

• 5

  Pry at the top, starting in one corner, using a thin, flat pry bar. Work across the top and down the sides, prying the window loose from its caulk. Tip the window out from the wall from the top. Cut along the edge to cut through the caulking to release it.

• 6

  Lift the window from the frame carefully. Scrape the old caulking from the frame of the interior window to prep for a new window.
