01

Clarify what stays around the opening

For a St. Catharines project, compare the retained-frame and full-frame scopes carefully. A lower initial price is only meaningful when you know which existing parts remain and how any hidden condition will be addressed.

02

Make finishing explicit

Interior casing, exterior trim, sealing and disposal should be described alongside the product selection.

03

A practical planning scenario for St. Catharines

For a St. Catharines replacement, ask the quote to identify retained frame components and the resulting glass area. Compare that with the full-frame alternative and its finishing scope. The method should follow the opening’s condition rather than simply the lowest initial total.

06

Understand the price before comparing quotes

A total is only meaningful when the scope is clear. Review dimensions, glass, colour, hardware, removal, installation and finishing as separate parts of the project. Planning ranges help you start; the measured scope determines your written quote.
