Questions about this service
How many doors does the combo cover?
It is built for several doors in one visit. The carpenter checks your list on arrival and agrees anything beyond the starting scope with you before starting.
Do you supply the hinges or locks?
No. Hardware and wood are not in the price. You can buy them, or the carpenter can pick them up locally at actual cost once you approve.
My door sticks only in the monsoon. Can that be fixed?
Usually yes. The carpenter planes the swollen edge lightly so it clears the frame. Bare wood left after planing should be sealed or painted later, which is not part of this job.
