This includes removing the old door (if needed), prepping the opening, and installing the new French doors securely.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"574\">Retrofit vs. New Construction<\/h3><p data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"791\"><strong data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"601\">Retrofit installations<\/strong> \u2014 where you replace an existing door with French doors \u2014 are usually trickier and cost more. The installer may need to widen the frame, move electrical outlets, or adjust trim and flooring.<\/p><p data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1045\"><strong data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"827\">New construction installations<\/strong>, like adding French doors to a wall that didn\u2019t previously have an opening, can be even more complex. These often require structural changes like installing a new header, which supports the wall above the new opening.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1071\">Structural Add-ons<\/h3><p data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1330\">If framing changes are needed, you might pay anywhere from <strong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1149\">$150 to $8,000<\/strong>, depending on the size of the opening, wall material, and whether it\u2019s a load-bearing wall. The more invasive the project, the more time and labor it takes \u2014 and the more it costs.<\/p><p data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1540\">So if you&#8217;re upgrading an existing door, expect a moderate installation fee.
