The average price to Replace a Bifold Door noted above is cost data to compare a contractor’s estimate with doing it yourself.
What’s the cost to replace a bifold door? A carpenter charges $276 to replace a bifold door vs. doing it yourself for $120.
Doors that fold easily can be a pleasure to operate or downright annoying when they are difficult to open and close. Their hinging mechanism should allow the door panels to swing wide open for easy access to whatever is inside.
It’s been our experience that door hardware hung from the top of the opening allows the panels to hang and operate smoothly – something not always possible with a track installed on the floor. So if you have bifold doors in a bedroom, hallway or utility closet that balk at opening and closing, consider replacing the door panels and hardware, and make it attractive and easy to operate.
To remove and replace a 4-door folding unit with paneled wooden doors in a 48-inch wide opening, a carpenter will charge $276, which includes the labor and material. If you have carpentry skills and tools, you can do it yourself for $120, the cost of the door panels and new hardware.
