Default Good Point On The Interior Repairs

Good catch on what will be necessary inside the house. Cutting the hole, framing and popping in window is a pretty easy job. But a good, experienced contractor will be able to minimize the area surrounding the new window that will need to be re-drywalled and trimmed with window casing. Here in TV they use that knock-down surface on the walls. A good contractor will be able to replicate that finish. Then you'll have to have a pint or so of your original wall paint to paint the new drywall and a similar amount for the new interior window framing.

We're making this sound extremely complicated. It's really not. But a good contractor can make the job "look like it was always there" when finished.
