create a new window opening in a windowless room

10 years ago

Hello,

I want to create a new window opening in a room that currently has no windows. The room is on the 3rd floor. What kind of contractors should I look for? Most I have come across on the web are window replacement contractors. Is there a particular certification I should look for? The job requires cutting into a brick wall to create the opening. Its important that the contractor(s) know what they are doing and very skilled. I live in Brooklyn.

Also, any advice on window manufacturers? I am interested in a large custom made bay window.

Thanks!

Tracey

Window replacement contractors simply install new windows in the finished opening of the original windows. You need a carpenter and a painter.
