I had some adjustments made to my sliders just after I moved in. I asked the installer (original contractor I believe) at that time about doing French Doors. I have sliders leading from both the master BR and the DR onto the lanai. He indicated it could be done but would entail a LOT of construction including complete frame replacement and resizing of the openings. I asked him for a simple "ball park" figure just to see if I wanted to consider pursuing said project. He quoted at least $5,000 per door so I backed away.

My response to this thread is based upon my experience in other houses. Although some things are very nice to have there is a point where the financial investment will never be recouped.
