When it comes to door installations, hiring a skilled team of carpenters can significantly streamline the process, ensuring both speed and quality. For a typical 2-bedroom house with an average size of 1,400 square feet, which includes a main entrance door and 14 additional interior doors (a mix of pre-hung and bypass doors), a team consisting of two carpenters and two helpers can complete the installation efficiently.
Key Factors in the Installation Timeline
Team Experience: A professional team with years of experience in door installation can work quickly without compromising on quality. Skilled carpenters know how to tackle different types of doors—whether they're pre-hung, slab, or bypass—with ease, while helpers ensure materials are prepared and tools are in place.
Pre-Hung vs. Bypass Doors: Pre-hung doors typically come with the frame already attached, making them faster to install. These doors can take about 30-45 minutes each to position, level, secure, and ensure they swing properly. Bypass doors, usually found in closets, require different installation techniques and hardware, but a team can generally handle these doors in about 45-60 minutes.
Door Frames and Baseboards: In addition to the doors themselves, frames and baseboards also need to be installed. While baseboard installation is generally straightforward, aligning them with door frames takes precision and care. Each frame and baseboard section may take 20-30 minutes to install.
Installation Breakdown
Here’s a rough estimate of how long it would take a professional carpentry team to complete the door installations for a house of this size:
Main Entrance Door: ~1.5-2 hours (due to the complexity of securing an exterior door properly)
14 Interior Doors (pre-hung): 30-45 minutes each (~7-10 hours total)
Bypass Closet Doors: 45-60 minutes each (~3-4 hours total for multiple closets)
Frames and Baseboards: For all doors, an additional 10-12 hours depending on intricacies.
Total Installation Time
Assuming a team of 2 carpenters and 2 helpers is working efficiently, the total installation time for a 2-bedroom house with 15 doors, frames, and baseboards would typically be completed in 2-3 days, including time for adjustments and ensuring everything is level and functional. This timeline may vary slightly depending on unexpected complexities such as tricky framing or tight-fitting doors.
