Replacement should solve a supported problem or a documented household preference. It should not become a shortcut around an incomplete diagnosis.

A seasonal sale or product claim matters less than the existing dimensions, connections, shutoffs, mounting, clearances, finish interfaces, and future service access.
Compare repair and replacement using product compatibility, availability, water use, removal, disposal, permit needs, inspection, adjacent trades, and finish restoration.
Confirm who selects and owns the product, approves substitutions, receives a removed fixture, coordinates shutdown, and handles hidden conditions discovered after access.
What to observe now
Keep the notes factual. A visible clue can direct an inspection without proving what is hidden.
Write the inspected condition or household goal that replacement should address.
Check dimensions, mounting, supply, drain, clearances, and access before ordering.
Name model, finish, features, efficiency label, lead time, and substitution rule.
Assign plumbing, electrical, cabinet, tile, wall, floor, and disposal tasks.
Demonstrate normal use and review care, warranty, and remaining finish work.
Responsibility
Closeout record
Closeout should include model and serial data, installation record, permit status, representative operation, finish condition, care instructions, invoice, and warranty.
Current primary sources
Public procedures and status can change. Use the source that owns the decision.
