Replacing patio doors with French doors
Replacing Patio sliding doors with French doors
Replacing patio sliding doors with double French doors, low-E and mini blinds between the glasses.
In order to remove the frame of the sliding doors, you have to cut the stucco with a four inch diamond blade.
I cut it two inches away from the exposed frame and remove the stucco and the Styrofoam.
Now the flange is exposed, I remove the nails or screws and the frame can be pulled out.
Installing the new pre-hung French door unit is next.
Wide trim on the outside should cover the the stucco rough edge.
Well, I had to do some stucco repair as you can see on the left side. That will get painted in a few days.
The home owners found me on Angie’s List

Nice job! I had this done to my house, but I wish that the door opened on the other side! haha 🙂
I love the new look of the French doors vs the old sliding glass door. What a huge improvement it is.
Wow, so much better!
What a difference. I really like the French doors. Hmmm, will have to keep that in mind when I remodel!
Looks good! Something I will have to do eventually…
Love the French Doors… Really makes a beautiful difference!
I absolutely love those French doors!
Wow, that looks so much better.
Those French doors are gorgeous!
Those french doors look awesome. It's making me rethink the doors I currently have on my patio. You do some really great work!
They're better in every way!
Very nice, I like the look of the french doors much more than the sliding ones of course if it is leading to a swimming pool in FL I love the sliders that open the whole home up to the outside:)
WOW…what a simple change, and what a difference to the eyes! Good job!
definitely much better appearance!
These are so beautiful.
These are beautiful! Our last house had a single door instead of the sliding door…but our new house in Florida doesn't. I really miss having an actual door. This looks beautiful!
We plan on doing something similar later =) – Karyn
Some day 🙂
and it's not that hard to replace the one with the other if you got the tools and know how- Christian you should at least have the know how.
I like this look better then the sliders! nice work!
really is a great improvement! amazing what a difference a new door makes!
Love it!
My husband wants to replace our sliding door with a French door, and now I can see what a difference that would make!
This is an amazing transformation! Beautiful!
