Besides all the good advice you'll get from this group, may I suggest
looking around to see who has had some work done lately and getting the
names of at least 3 contractors that folks like? Since you mentioned
"style changes" twice in your post, it might be best to have someone
look directly at your project and let you know not only what types of
windows are available, but what else would be involved in replacing
them in *your* home, with the goal of making them fit the style as
close as possible. I'm guessing your "ballpark figures" will end up
more accurate if you go this route.
