What the work should include
We review the existing door, frame, hinges and clearance. The scope distinguishes a slab replacement from a prehung unit, with casing, hardware and paint listed separately. If the frame is distorted or damaged, replacing only the door may not resolve the fit issue.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare door style and construction with neighboring rooms. Confirm swing direction, hardware preparation and the actual opening dimensions. A familiar nominal size does not establish all the details needed for ordering, so measure and review the unit before purchase.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Frame condition, fitting and finish work affect labor. Send both sides, hinge details and photos of the opening.

A question about this work
Can a new door slab always reuse the existing frame?
Not always. Frame condition, dimensions and hardware positions need to be compatible with the proposed door.
