It was an easy job, I think you could do it yourself! Especially if your son can help with the hauling the doors out. Mine were not especially heavy and the small amount of grouting left on the wall where the frame set in was very easy to remove with a putty knife and some elbow grease. I did it just because I was tired of them and was a 50 something year old lady with no experience and no problem. I wouldn't pay much to have it done, that is for sure.

A razor knife and some solvent can remove the caulk residue. FSogol Jan 2012 #3
