🪟 Retrofit = new window, existing frame. Faster, cleaner, more affordable.
✅ No exterior stucco or siding repair needed. Less labor. Less mess.
💧 The catch — waterproofing is only as good as what’s already there.
⚠️ If there’s rot, bad flashing, or old failing seals behind that frame, a retrofit traps the problem instead of solving it.
🔍 Inspect before choosing which route to go— because saving money upfront isn’t worth a water intrusion issue later.
