Window openings from two different eras
Newberry's historic district preserves buildings from its 1890s phosphate-mining boom with original window openings from before the industry's 1914 collapse, while the farmland the town turned to afterward carries newer construction with standard modern rough openings — two different starting points depending on where in town a property sits. Getting that distinction wrong before ordering is the single most common source of a window project going over budget here.
Confirming which Newberry era a home belongs to
Worth clarifying with a contractor whether a property's openings are original 1890s-era or standard modern construction before assuming a stock-size fit. Assuming a stock size without checking is a common and costly mistake.

What helps for a Newberry window quote
Note whether the property's openings date to the 1890s phosphate-boom years preserved in the historic district or to the farmland construction that followed the mines' 1914 collapse, since the two starting points call for different order sizes.
Two window eras, one wind-rating standard
Newberry's mining-era openings and its farmland-era openings differ in original size and condition, but any replacement in either setting now has to meet the same current Florida wind-rating code before it can go in.
