Replacing Window with Door from Parlor Level-Recommendations?

11:54 AM 03/21/2012

As the title says,
We're looking to replace a window with a door to access deck off our Parlor level.
We'll need to remove the stone and brick currently between the bottom of window frame and the floor at least.
I was wondering what options people have used for this process.
Install a full height door ? or install a small window with a door below it ?
Any recommendations for approach and for sources of materials and labor would be appreciated.
Thanks

    I went with a full height glass door and transom for maxium light.  Door was rather cheap,( $500) special order from Lowes. Get a few estimates on the labor. Expect it to run 3-5k. including everything. We spend a great deal of time in the kitchen and the deck off the parlor. We love it.

    Very pretty kitchen, Rick.
    OP, you'll need a permit and an engineer or architect for this.
