[quote=Anonymous]We did this on a rambler in Vienna.  We went vertically on 3 windows and vertically and horizontally on 1 (made it into a double-sized).  It was $500 extra per opening, although we did it in conjunction with replacing all the windows in the house, so they got tons of money from us.  We had vinyl siding.  If it was brick, it would have been $1000-2000 extra per window.  I interviewed a couple window companies while we were looking at houses, and learned to eliminate brick houses if they needed more light!

The double window took an entire day on its own.  All this work does mess up the interior walls, so you will need to fix that and replace the interior trim and window sills.  This work was not included in our price.  DH and I are pretty handy and did it on our own; if not, you will need to factor that into your cost as well.  Oh, and the double window required re-routing some electrical wires.  Again, DH and I did that, but if not, you'll need an electrician.  [/quote]
