Transform any wall — interior or exterior — into a beautiful door opening. From standard passage doors to panoramic glass wall systems. LBWP handles the structure; Glass Expanse handles the glass.
A wall-to-door conversion is at its core a structural modification. Whether you're creating a simple passage door in an interior wall or a 20-foot-wide sliding glass wall system to connect your living room to the pool deck — every opening requires a properly engineered header or beam to carry the structure above.
The classic passage door — 28"–36" wide. Ideal for creating doorways between rooms or adding access to garages, utility rooms, or outdoor spaces. Quick to install and most cost-effective.
Starting from $1,200
Space-saving sliding doors — pocket doors disappear into the wall; barn doors slide on an exterior track. Popular for pantries, home offices, and between-room dividers where swing space is limited.
Starting from $1,800
Bifold glass door panels that accordion-fold to create a fully open wall. Ideal for connecting indoor living spaces to covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and pool areas. Available in 8–28+ foot widths.
Starting from $8,000
Full-height glass panel systems that slide to create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The ultimate Texas living upgrade — connect your living room, kitchen, or master suite directly to outdoor spaces.
Starting from $15,000
LBWP partners with Glass Expanse to offer Texas homeowners the full range of premium folding, sliding, and panoramic glass door systems. This partnership is unique: most glass door companies can't handle the structural work needed to open a load-bearing wall for a large glass system. LBWP can — and does — the structural work, and Glass Expanse provides the door system and installation. One project, properly engineered, beautifully finished.
Texas's climate — especially in Austin and Houston — is perfect for indoor-outdoor living. A glass door wall system turns your covered patio into an extension of your living room, seamlessly connected.
Replacing a solid wall with glass dramatically increases natural light — reducing electricity costs for lighting and making spaces feel dramatically larger without changing square footage.
Every glass wall project includes full structural engineering by Mateo Galvez, PE. The header or beam spanning the opening is designed to handle the load properly — no shortcuts.
Our PE-stamped structural drawings include everything your building department needs for permit approval. The permit is the homeowner's responsibility under Texas law. Your glass wall system is properly engineered and documented for resale.
Standard hinged doors, pocket doors, barn/sliding doors, folding glass doors (bifold), and panoramic glass wall systems. LBWP handles any structural modification the opening requires; Glass Expanse supplies premium glass systems.
Non-load-bearing wall, standard door: $1,200–$2,500. Load-bearing wall conversion: $3,500–$8,000. Glass folding/sliding systems: $8,000–$30,000+. We provide same-day ballpark estimates.

Yes for structural modifications (load-bearing walls). Often yes for non-structural walls with utilities. LBWP provides PE-stamped engineering plans as part of every project.
Most walls can. Load-bearing walls require a properly sized header or beam. Only walls with major mechanical systems that can't be rerouted may present challenges. LBWP assesses this during the free estimate.
