Replacement windows encased in brick siding

[upset_horn]

Any good recommendations for replacement windows in Austin? I'm thinking about replacing my cheap track home aluminum frame windows with some decent double pane windows. The only downside is 7 of them are encased in brick. Does anyone know how much more expensive a contractor would charge? I'm assuming they have to cut the flange out and then use a replacement windows.

Anyone ever done this? Thanks

I had to remove/move one and the only way i could see to do it was remove the brick around it, but I didn't really try to go another way since I was moving the thing over a couple feet.

Depending on your electircal company check for any rebates. i got something from COA about a program a few days ago.
