Window Replacement
Window replacement with the flashing and sill detail that keeps the wall dry.
A window is a hole in a wall with something in it. How that hole is flashed decides whether the wall stays dry.
Window failures are overwhelmingly installation failures rather than product failures. Flashing, sill pan, and the order in which the weather barrier is lapped determine whether water that gets past the unit drains back out or into the wall.
That water damage is invisible. It happens inside the wall assembly, and by the time staining appears on interior finishes the framing and sheathing around the opening have usually been wet for a long time.
Replacement is also the opportunity to correct an opening. Openings that were never framed square, that lack proper headers, or that were modified without structural consideration can be corrected while they are open.

Yes, with the framing and header work that requires. Replacement is the right time to correct an opening that was never framed properly.
Often you cannot until it is significant, because it happens inside the wall. Staining on interior finishes usually means the framing around the opening has been wet for a while.
It depends on what you have and how the building performs overall. Windows are one part of an envelope, and replacing them while ignoring insulation and air sealing gives less than expected.
Yes, including hanging, casing, and finishing, and including openings that need reframing to fit properly.
Yes. It is one of the trades our own crews perform.
