I have just returned from shopping for windows to replace old, damaged
windows in my 60 year old home.

Both brands I have looked at, Marvin and Anderson, offer either "new
construction" windows which demand that the interior casing and trim be
removed, or "replacement" windows which fit into the interior opening
creating by removing only some of the original window.

The big advantage of the "replacement" windows is that they do not require
paint, wallpaper, and possibly bathroom marble wall trim repairs /
replacements, whereas the "new" style forces the interior rework.

Am I giving up anything by using the "replacement" style?? They certainly
are preferable from an installation simplicity perspective.

Thanks for any opinions and comments in advance.

nope it will save lots of work.

although stock new windows are a lot cheaper, like from home depot
