Nothing balances California sunshine and interior comfort quite like a beautiful set of French doors. Homeowners across Fresno are replacing solid back doors and dated sliders with elegant glass-paneled openings that frame outdoor views, improve airflow, and add thousands in resale value. At CountBricks, we combine real-time AI estimating with seasoned field crews to deliver flawless French door installations that stay on schedule and on budget.
• Year-round light: Fresno enjoys 271 sunny days annually, and French doors let that natural light flood your living space.
• Indoor-outdoor living: Wide double panels create a seamless transition to patios and pools—perfect for Central Valley barbecues.
• Energy efficiency: Modern low-E glass and insulated frames slash cooling costs during the long, hot summers.
• Instant curb appeal: A stylish set of French doors is one of the quickest ways to differentiate your home in Fresno’s competitive real estate market.

2. Real-time quote: Within the same call, CountBricks’ engine cross-references live material pricing in Fresno, local labor rates, and current building codes to generate a line-item estimate.
3. Digital blueprint takeoff: If you have plans, upload them to CountBricks.com/takeoffs. Our software traces openings and wall types automatically, eliminating manual counting and errors.
4. Permit ready documents: You receive stamped drawings, Title 24 compliance data, and a material list that suppliers can fill with one click.
5. Hands-on installation: Our residential carpentry team arrives with pre-measured shims, PVC sill pans, and garage-friendly saws that keep dust outside.
6. Final walkthrough: Together, we verify smooth swing, latch alignment, and weatherstrip compression. A digital warranty certificate is stored in your CountBricks dashboard.
Traditional contractors take days to price French doors, often guessing at lumberyard costs that change weekly. CountBricks pulls live data feeds from regional suppliers the moment you ask, locking in accurate pricing before you commit. Need to compare fiberglass vs. wood frames?

• Materials: $1,450–$2,800 (door slab, tempered low-E glass, hardware, trim)
• Labor: $850–$1,300 (demo, framing adjustment, setting, flashing, finish carpentry)
• Permits & inspection: $120–$180 depending on Fresno City zone
• Disposal & site protection: $60–$100
Total turnkey range: $2,480–$4,380. CountBricks provides a downloadable PDF with every cost component so you know exactly where each dollar goes.
• Order swing direction early: In-swing models are popular, but out-swing doors resist wind better in Fresno’s spring gusts.
• Check rough opening moisture: Use a moisture meter—anything above 15% can lead to rot under the new sill.
• Insulate the jamb: Low-expansion foam around the frame cuts drafts without bowing the jamb.
• Upgrade the threshold: Aluminum thermally broken thresholds add decades of durability compared to builder-grade wood.
• Schedule glazing inspection: Fresno inspectors often require verification of tempered glass; having documents on hand speeds approval.

From fast estimates to meticulous craftsmanship, CountBricks delivers the peace of mind Fresno homeowners deserve. Let the light in—on your timeline and your budget.
When the Ramirez family purchased a 1950s bungalow in Fresno’s Old Fig Garden, the back wall held a narrow 30-inch door that darkened the entire dining room. They wanted a full-view French unit but worried about structural changes and hidden costs.
1. During a five-minute phone call, the family provided wall length, stucco thickness, and roof overhang depth. CountBricks AI immediately flagged that the existing header was undersized for a 72-inch opening.
2. The estimator suggested a Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) upgrade, added the beam cost, and recalculated labor—all in real time.
3. Total investment presented: $3,965, including permits and debris haul-off. The Ramirezes approved on the spot.
• Day 1: Crew installed temporary shoring walls and replaced the header with a 4×10 LVL.
• Day 2: French doors were set, flashed with peel-and-stick membrane, and foam insulated.
• Day 3: Interior trim, exterior stucco patch, and paint touch-up completed.
• Natural light increased by 54% as measured with a lux meter
• HVAC runtime dropped 7% in the first utility cycle due to low-E glass
• Appraisal boost of $10,000 documented in the refinance report
The Ramirezes now entertain with both doors wide open, blending their dining space with a shaded patio—proof that strategic upgrades deliver lifestyle and financial returns.
