1969 brick home I'm getting ready to sell. Changing out windows. Has 23-3/4"x71-3/4" clear brick opening with arch. Having a hard time fining someone who can make an arched vinyl window (CHEAP) that is 23" wide. 23-1/2" wide I've found but that gives zero room for error on fit and square and dropping $3k on 4 of these is not something I'm gonna risk that on.

I can get a fixed 23x59 rectangle window for these 4 locations for about a $2600 savings over the 23-1/2" radius top fixed windows.

I would need to frame in a header and install a finish material for the half-round section. No problem but what are some ideas on finish look to not make it look totally bush league.

Anyone done it? Got Pics to share? My first thought is infill and sheath and then a sticky thin brick to somewhat match existing or a direct contrast color that works.

Color combo of house is black roof, white trim, black front door, white windows, brick is essentially brown. This is obviously on the road frontage facing elevation

Post a picture of what you have. You can get windows at those dimensions but they're not going to be quick or really cheap.

Worth the wait to replace with same style & guaranteed fit.
Market is really competitive now but not on price.

No city posted but when seen, others local to you will give you leads so spend time, save money and sweat.

No plans to spend a bunch of money on these windows. I've looked at Elevate, MI, Pella, and talked to Home Depot. I'm doing the install. Don't see the ROI on spending $3k-$4k on these 4 custom windows alone when the rest of the 8 windows for the house are only $2500.

Two of the windows we replaced on the top floor inclded two much larger (6'x10'?) arched. The were custom plygem and am sure no where near $3K each. Whole job 8 windows 2500bd ft of smart side, trim and paint was less than 25K

The 23-1/2" window that won't work are $800 each. I need 4. That's where the $3k comes in, not each. I will check with Plygem though

Cut the brick upward and just remove the arch. Since all 4 front windows are similar then they would look ok replacing with non arch.
