Usually there is more to it than just "adding windows". Be sure to talk to several contractors to get their ideas in addition to a quote.
This is also my opinion. If you want high end vinyl doors with low E glass, a cement floor raised and tiled, electrical outlets installed on the exterior walls, and stucco banding around the doors on the exterior then you are looking at over $20,0000. You can do it for less, but your floor will still be on a slant and the installer will have to build up cement wedges under the doors to level them and this is not a very permanent method and can cause water leakage over time.
