There are 2 types of windows,new install & replacement windows. New install has a nailing fin around window & is installed on a new house before brick or siding is installed, to install these, the brick will have to be removed. Replacement windows are installed from the inside & the frames are thicker than standard windows & this is where they are secured to the frame of the house, so the sheetrock around the opening has to be removed & will have to be trimmed out after installation. The price for labor sounds high, but if they are removing brick, it may be right. I did all mine from the inside, much faster install in my opinion.
