Then you should paint all trim and doors first then ceiling and walls.
Prehung door before or after finished floor.
Adjust the gap around the door and let the other side jam.
Baseboard goes down then the 2nd coat of paint goes on.
Just be sure to allow for a threshold or thick carpeting before making these cuts.
Which project goest first.
Best method for carpeted floors where minor variations won t show.
Set the hinge side of doors 1 2 off floor to tuck in carpet.
On a professional job all the doors are hung first then cased.
What i am looking to do is shim up the jamb to the desired height so that i will have 1 2 after carpet is installed and won t have to cut the doors.
Most builders leave the floors for last.
There will almost certainly be trimming involved for other floors on the jamb and possibly the door too.
So i need to buy new prehung interior doors.
Door first means the trimwork can be more complete while the crew is set up onsite.
Then the flooring installers come in and do their thing.
I set the prehung unit and then remove the door until after carpet.
Check that the door will swing in the right direction after it s installed.
This clearance is set by trimming the ends of the hinge and latch jambs.
Also maybe others are more careful but i found it s hard not to ding the floor a little bit when doing doors afterwards.
Wheni install prehung doors the jambs and door are crefully fitted to the final rough opening which includes the finished floor.
I removed old wood walls and putt in new drywall and so now the door frame is off balance with the wall.
You can rent a saw that is special made for cutting door casings to allow tyle to go under.
But i also have to tile the floor.
By having all the doors and trim up first the painters can come in and spray everything out and get the first coat of color on the walls.
After floors are in fenish with quarter round shoe molding.
The floors go in last.
After floors this would be a huge pain to do since you would need to pull the door out and saw the jamb.
The clearance between the bottom of the door and the finish floor should be 3 8 inch or less.
You should hang all doors and trim after dry wall.
It also assures that the doors on hand are correct and will work.
Before the floors go in you can easily shim one end of the jamb to get the door exactly plumb.
This is for timing.
