This page describes a representative scope for this project type. It is not a claim about a specific completed job, and no client, address, or date is implied.
You do not need a window list
Homeowners are not expected to arrive with sizes. Rooms and an approximate count are enough to scope the job; the exact opening dimensions get measured before anything is ordered, because aluminum units are built to the opening rather than pulled from stock sizes.
That measurement step is also where the surprises surface: a rotted sill, an out-of-square opening, or a bedroom window that no longer meets egress once a replacement frame goes inside the old one.
Why one mobilization matters
Doing the house at once means every window shares the same sightline, the same finish, and the same glass. Phased work can match later, but only if the first phase is documented — profile, finish code, and glazing package all recorded so phase two is not a near-miss.
Practically, the install runs room by room. Openings are opened and closed the same day, and the interior trim is protected before demolition starts.

Every project differs in opening count, condition, and timing. The quote form takes it from there.
