The short answer
Replacing one opening, several openings, or the full home can each be reasonable. Build an opening schedule, prioritize safety and water concerns, compare product continuity and access, and document how later phases will match or intentionally differ.
Inventory
Record condition and goals by opening.
Prioritize
Address safety, active water, and inoperable openings first.
Plan continuity
Document product, finish, glass, and future-phase assumptions.
