    Cost of replacing the french door threshold
    I have requested a contractor to replace my french door threshold. He is charging 650.00 for the work. Is that reasonable?

    That seems a little steep to me. He only has to replace one threshold, yes, the other is stationary, or do both doors open? Why does it have to replaced?
