For this part of a Lakewood project, identify who handles blinds, alarms and nearby trim before the opening is touched. More on retrofit window installation sits on its own page, written for Lakewood openings rather than as a generic brochure.

In Lakewood, post-war tract ranches with later room additions. That context changes how sash and frames are carried, staged and set.
Winter indoor air that is very dry can change how wood interior stops behave after they are reset. Dust from old stops, paint and insulation should be contained, especially in a room that stays in use.
Compare the same boundary at the opening
Two estimates can look similar until you compare flashing, the outer joint, room-side trim and site protection. Primer and paint on new interior trim may sit outside the window scope; say so clearly.
Arrange the information before the next step
Include approximate sizes, the height of the opening, nearby furnishings and any access limitation.
