DIY or hire
Hanging a standard bifold set in a finished opening is a common DIY job: install the track, hang the panels and adjust the height. Homewyse lists framing a new opening as a separate option, and that part is worth hiring out.2 Home Depot’s bifold doors category lists standard sizes such as 30 by 80 inches.
