your best bet is hiring a carpenter and select the windows of your choice or discuss with your carpenter what would be the best fit for your home. in many cases new casings will be needed or extension jambs or both carpenters will give you nicer finish work. it always kills me when people take the cheapest price for there home projects im not saying paying more is better but 9 times out of 10 YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. best of luck.

I agree with Sky. I had two sliders and a few double-hung replaced by Scott Compton Builder and he did a great job. Using a carpenter like Scott assures he will fix any problems that might occur with the install. I had some rot and water problems that he was able to correct. Window installers don't do the extra work that is sometimes required. Scott (234-1277) is in Meredith, works the Lakes Region.

...and there are those times when the company (Pella and Anderson see post by Smokie Norm ) is just trying to rob you of your hard-earned money. Shop around. Compare QUALITY and price.
