"A carpenter/ joiner would be more benefit, as they may need to get a better finish on the inside window boards etc. you may also need to patch plaster the inside reveals."

"This depends on the windows you want installed. Both can do the job, the window company may be better for standard off the shelf windows, the joiner also can do this, but also can make and fit bespoke non standard windows hope this helps."
