House windows

[mr_blove]

I am looking at installing a couple of windows in my basement possibily by myself or by a professional. Those of you that have done this before if you have any info on this task or know a good window guy, please share your experiance with me. If you know a good do-it-yourself website that could be helpful as well. Thank you.

Installing, like cutting a hole in the foundation and sticking a window in said hole? Or, installing, like taking out an existing window, and replacing it with a different window? I've done the latter, and it was pretty easy. Is your basement finished?

Installing as in cutting the foundation to accomidate a larger window. No the basement is not finished.

DO NOT go with Advanced Windows. Total asshats, IMO. Perhaps one of the worst business transactions I have ever had...

Ah, good luck with that. I recently took out a basement window and cut out the foundation for a French Door. I hired a contractor. That's how I would do it if I were you. He didn't even do the concrete cutting himself, he hired a sub for that.

I have a guy to cut my concrete, I just don't know forsure if I am going to install the window myself.
