I talked to Lowes and it seems all they do is replacement windows (they did a good job for me in California).

I need someone to put in a patio door where a window currently exists. Need to make a bigger opening, cut through brick, install header, etc.

Then, it would be nice if they could also install the new door and trim it out.

Would appreciate any recommendations.

TIA!

I had Lowes remove the old slider on our place and replace it with atrium door which we purchased from them, and they also did a great job. I don't recall who they were and I have no one else to recomend, but Lowes should have a list of approved contractors at the contractors desk who can perform that task. It addition to a new header, the new opening will have to be re-jambed, and the brick under the existing window will have to be sectioned out so that only finished ends are exposed when the opening is completed. A good contractor will crush and reuse the old mortar from the removed section of brick and use it to blend in the new mortar work into the existing brick work.

It was either Lowe's or Home Depot that did something similar for us (albeit about 10 years ago) in our old house. We had a large picture window removed and dual French doors put in its place. Required masonry and carpentry work. Turned out perfect. Did French Doors with the built-in blinds, which was a really nice feature.
