Door Install, How Long?
Single entry, typical job, no storm door, new sill, new riser, basic trim, standard 2" brickmould (very rare around here), alum. over bm only. Caulked exterior, caulked interior.
For me alone it's about 4 hour avg. when working alone. 3 hours with my helper. |

Re: Door Install, How Long?
I am just kidding on the two hours alone, most houses I have to put a door in requires quite a bit of fudge work just to make it look right.
Darn wonky old houses. |

Re: Door Install, How Long?
I did one the other day and it took 6 hours with a Carpenter.
I think I added 3 hours to his job. I should have just stayed in the truck and out of his way.
