When clients ask CountBricks “how much do bifold doors cost,” we answer with real numbers pulled from our AI-driven estimating engine. Because every project is different, the true price of bifold doors depends on size, material, glazing options, hardware, and the complexity of installation. In this deep dive, our residential construction team explains the cost ranges you should expect—and how CountBricks keeps budgets predictable.
Across the Central and Southern US markets we serve, most homeowners spend between $1,200 and $5,500 for a fully installed two-panel bifold door. Larger four-panel systems or premium aluminum frames can climb to $9,500+. These figures include:
• Door panels and frame kit
• Standard hardware set
• Jobsite delivery
• Professional installation by a licensed CountBricks carpenter
• Basic finishing and cleanup
Our AI estimate generator automatically adjusts labor and material rates to your ZIP code, so you never pay generic “national averages.”
1. Hollow Core Wood Composite
• Entry-level choice ranging $200–$450 for a two-panel set
• Best for closets or laundry rooms
• Paint-grade only; limited longevity in humid climates
2. Solid Pine or Poplar
• $400–$900 for two panels
• Can be stained or painted
• Moderate sound insulation and durability
3. MDF Shaker Style
• $500–$1,100
• Crisp, modern look with minimal warping risk
• Heavier weight increases installation labor slightly
4. Aluminum or Fiberglass Exterior Units
• $1,200–$4,000 for three to four panels
• Excellent weather resistance and sleek profiles
• Often ordered with low-E glass for patio openings
5. Premium Wood-Clad Aluminum
• $4,500–$9,500+ for large systems
• Wood interior for warmth, aluminum exterior for protection
• Multi-point locking hardware included
CountBricks crews follow a three-step process when installing bifold doors:
1. Site Prep & Demolition – Removing existing jambs, adjusting framing, and ensuring the rough opening is level.
2. Door & Hardware Set – Plumb-and-square placement plus precise track alignment.
3. Finish & Trim – Casing, weather-sealing, paint touch-ups, and debris haul-off.
Labor ranges from $350 to $1,200 depending on:
• Wall alterations or header reinforcement
• Electrical relocations (switches, outlets, sconces)
• Finished flooring protection and reinstallation
• Second-story access or tight interior spaces
Our internal data shows that a 72" x 80" pine bifold averages:
• Jackson, MS – $1,540 installed
• Dallas, TX – $1,650 installed
• Tampa, FL – $1,720 installed
Because CountBricks pulls material quotes and labor rates in real time, our numbers stay resistant to seasonal price swings.
• Order multiple interior doors together—bulk freight reduces per-unit delivery fees.
• Select in-stock finishes to avoid manufacturer surcharges.
• Combine installation with other trim carpentry tasks; one mobilization fee covers all.
• Use the CountBricks Blueprint Takeoff tool to confirm measurements before ordering, eliminating costly re-cuts.
Does glass style change bifold door pricing?
Yes. Clear tempered glass is standard. Add 15–25% for frosted or decorative panes, and 30–40% for hurricane-rated laminated glass.
Can I install bifold doors myself to save money?
DIY kits exist, but most callbacks we receive involve misaligned tracks and uneven reveals. Professional fitting by CountBricks typically saves homeowners an average of $230 in adjustments and repainting.
How long does installation take?
A two-panel interior bifold generally installs in 3–4 hours. Exterior multi-panel units may require a full day, especially if structural modifications are needed.
Light sanding and new hardware can refresh older hollow-core doors for under $150. However, if you notice panel warping, swollen jambs, or track corrosion, replacement delivers better long-term value. CountBricks estimators compare repair and replacement costs within every proposal so you can make an informed decision.
