Interior French doors

Dona French

Interior French doors.

My client Dona Duncan call me in September 2012.
She asked me to give her an estimate on installing French doors between the hallway and her office.

There were no doors there, just an archway of five feet wide by seven feet high opening.

After I purchased the two doors and the lumber, It’s time to make a precise drawings.
From here I cut all the components to create the jamb, make notches for the hinges on the jamb and the doors.
Screw all the components together and it’s ready for painting.

Arriving at the job site on time is very important. You do not want to start the job on the left foot.
Being late makes you look unprofessional and your client gets uncomfortable with you.

The installation is the easy part of this job if do it for some time.
It makes me happy to see a happy client when I am all one.

Shapira Builders give free estimates.
