I need to replace two patio doors that are rotting. I have vinyl siding on the house. Do I have to remove the siding to replace the door and to get at the existing doors nail fin? Can I cut the siding and replace the J channel with a wider one? I’m skilled in wood working and carpentering, but I need some direction. Thanks
