How to read the quantities
One prehung door allowance × $1,050 = $1,050, and one installation line × $690 = $690. Together they are $1,740; hardware, threshold and trim remain separate.
What the example includes—and leaves out
The sample assumes suitable framing and adjacent finishes. Hidden deterioration or enlargement requires a separate inspected scope before proceeding.
Outside this scope: No opening enlargement, structural repair, siding replacement, full repainting or specialty security system integration.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions

No. Threshold and weather closure details need explicit consideration along with the selected assembly and opening.
Does the price include painting?
Only where stated. This example has a trim touch-up allowance but no complete door or wall repaint.
