Replacing windows: full-frame or insert?

• Record the problems that window replacement should solve.
• Ask which existing frames and finishes will remain and why.
• Compare retained glass area and clear opening.
• Request flashing and drainage-plane connection details.
• Keep scope, hidden-damage provisions, approvals and finish/warranty records.
