I'm looking to bring more light into my living room by adding a small window in a spot where there currently isn't one. I'm a bit confused about who to hire for this since the usual window installation companies seem focused on replacing windows in existing frames. The general contractors we've worked with for larger remodels might consider this too small of a job, and I'm hesitant to hire just any handyman without assurance of quality. Who should I reach out to for this type of project? Am I overcomplicating things or missing something?

You might want to consider hiring a skilled carpenter for this job. They can handle adding a window where there wasn't one before. Just make sure to clarify that your wall is non-load bearing; some folks might find that surprising!
Reaching out to a window company is a good bet! Even if they can't do the installation themselves, they could point you to a reliable local contractor who specializes in that type of work.
Don't hesitate to contact multiple window contractors. Sometimes getting multiple opinions can be really helpful for figuring out the best approach for your project!
True! Gable end walls often aren’t load bearing in truss houses, so it’s definitely doable.
