Shouldn't Be Too Expensive
As long as there ar no structural issues, it's a matter of buying the window, having a contractor cut the proper sized hole in the wall, installing the necessary framing, then popping in the window, caulking and trimming it out.
A much better quality window than are used in The Villages houses (standard size 32 by xx) costs about $500. But as I suggest, the vinyl windows used here would be much less expensive -- maybe $200-250. Then it's a matter of the cost of installation. I can't imagine that would cost more than a few man hours of labor, maybe another $200-300.
I'm guessing a total installed cost of somewhere in the range of $500-750. If anyone has experience where they cost a lot more, let us all know.
As far as who to do it -- I'd start with a call to The Villages Sunset Warranty department. They keep a list of constractors who they feel are qualified.
