These examples assume standard replacement openings. Record each location, dimensions, operation, product, installation method, finish work, and observed damage before comparing proposals.
Insert or full-frame
An insert typically retains the existing frame. Full-frame work may add flashing, insulation, interior and exterior trim, siding or drywall repair, and concealed-condition work.
Exact product schedule
Name manufacturer, line, operation, frame, glass package, ratings, hardware, screens, colors, and warranty for every opening.
Opening condition
Rot, water entry, out-of-square conditions, altered sizes, egress needs, safety glazing, structural work, and difficult access need explicit scope.
Complete finish work
Require written responsibility for flashing, sealants, insulation, casing, stools, jamb extensions, drywall, paint, siding repair, cleanup, permits, and inspections.

A low unit price is not comparable if it excludes measuring risk, full-frame work, flashing, trim, repairs, disposal, or finish restoration.
