    Hi all. Practical question about installation day. We are replacing eight interior doors in an occupied house, two kids, one dog, the whole circus. I have no sense of how disruptive this actually is. Are we talking one long day with a crew, or a week of open doorways and dust everywhere? Do they take the old doors away or am I making trips to the dump all weekend afterward? And is there anything I should do in advance to speed it up, like clearing rooms or taking curtains down? Happy to do the prep work myself if it shortens the day.

    Figure roughly one to two hours per door once the crew is set up, so eight doors is a long day rather than a week, assuming the measurements were done properly beforehand. The dust is mostly at the frame and any decent crew masks the floor around it. When Diana Doors https://dianadoors.com/ did ours they hauled the old slabs away as part of the job, which I would confirm before booking rather than assume. Clear two feet either side of each opening and put the dog somewhere else for the day. The biggest single delay is a homeowner deciding on handle placement while three people stand there waiting. Decide on handles and finishes before the crew arrives and the day runs an hour shorter. Also plan where the dog and the kids are going, because doors come off before the new ones go on and the house is briefly open plan.
