That's probably one of the questions never to be really answered.
I will be replacing my windows, so I have a couple of options in front of me:
Of course my windows are a non-standard size, but even on the MH sites, I can't seem to find my size. Front windows appear to be 62" wide by 47.5" tall. This is measured from the aluminum lip to lip on the outside.
There is about a $100 price difference if I buy stock 60" x 48" windows, vs. custom ordering from Milgard (factory is 30 miles from here).
Or, I could buy stock windows, and enlarge the opening to place them at the right height which then requires messing with every header throughout the house. Or, I could buy stock, and fill in the two inch gap that is leftover on width, and figure out how to expand the rough opening for the 1/2" in height.
I'm thinking from a cost standpoint, I'm better off just custom ordering and not messing with anything other than putting windows that fit in, since to do anything else I would have to hire it out. It just means shortening all my curtains forever more

Opinions?
Thanks!
