I have replaced many double hung windows and have also replaced casements. But the casements I have replaced have all been in conjuction with siding replacement so we went back with an casement for new construction. We end up having to retrim the interior as well.
I am working up a quote on replacing casements with no siding repair so I need to go with a replacement casement window. I am having trouble getting my head around this. I spoke with my distributer and they tell me "Oh its the same as a double hung". But with a double hung you pull the stop off put the new window in and reinstall the stop, caulk and touch up the paint. With a casement the wood jamb is solid all the way to the caseing I dont see how to get the old out and new in with out removing the caseing or the brick moulding. Plus the replacement is 3 1/4" wide so I will still have to install a jamd extender or stop.
If anyone has a link to a pdf or picture of a replacement casement window or advise on the process I would appreaciate it. I have looked all over the web and cant find anything. I dont want to overbid and loose this job trying to cover my butt.
