Maybe, I’m not saying putting in a window is not DIY, but only you know your skill level.
There are a lot of tutorials out there on the web showing the basics. Some very good, some not so.
One thing we can all agree on is you don’t want any leaks.
If you do hire the install out at least let the contractor measure the windows.
You don’t always save if you take the ordering out of the hands of the contractor.
If you order, you’ll pay retail, I get a discount and charge you retail and you end up paying the same thing. I make a few bucks, but any order mistakes are on me.
If you post some pictures the level of difficulty answer would be much easier.
