Q: How much wider does a door frame need to be than the door?

• <div><p>A door frame is typically 2 to 2.5 inches wider than the door. This additional space accommodates the door jamb and hinges and allows for necessary installation adjustments. For example, if the door is 30 inches wide, the rough opening should be 32 to 32.5 inches wide to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation.</p></div>

Q: Should cabinet doors be solid wood?

• <div><p>Solid wood is a durable and attractive option for cabinet doors that holds up well against a small amount of moisture. However, solid wood doors will expand and contract, meaning upkeep will be necessary if painted. Particleboard with veneer cabinet doors are cost-effective and can be attractive. MDF cabinet doors offer excellent and predictable workability features. However, both of those options are vulnerable to damage if water finds its way through the veneer or paint finish. </p></div>

Q: Will a house cleaner also clean doors?

• <div><p>Yes, basic dusting of doors, door hardware, and door glass is usually included when you hire a house cleaner to clean your home. A house cleaner may also vacuum door frames or clean tracks in sliding doors if these tasks are requested. However, house cleaners generally will not touch up scuffs or other markings on doors.

Professional response with high quality of workmanship on time and honest. The owner takes pride in his workmanship, even though itâ s just a garage door. Mostly a one time service. However, the owner wants to leave an impression that he has a customer for life.
