clockwork 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2008 Hey Clockwork, Why didn't you change the doors when you do reno a year ago ? No budget ... , I didn't wanna take a big loan Door and door frame are 2 seperate items. Change door frame will cost a lot more then the cost of doors, as need to do much touchup to the surrounding walls and redo the archi trims/ skirtings. Change door will require several visits. Visit No. 1 = Measure and quote. Visit No. 2 = remove and install new door + locksets. Visit No. 3 = paint or varnish then touchup. I believe.. use oversized hinges.. perhaps stainless steel or brass.. give impression as if doors are really heavy. like hotels.. really catch attention! Thank you for your advise , Now at least I know what to expect ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alyplwwf 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 Hi all.. I intend to change all the doors in my house , I need to know do the contractors remove the door frame as well or is it another added cost ? A total of 4 doors will be removed and changed , 2 bedrooms , 1 store and 1 front door , how long does it normally take to complete ? Anyone has any idea ?
