Will the doors still swing once the new floor is down? In Diamond Bar it is the right question to raise at the first visit, because a new floor adds thickness and the door bottoms, the casings and the thresholds all have to live with it. The answer is measured with the old floor still in place, and the quote lists any trimming the doors call for.

Where the extra height goes

A floating plank with its underlayment can add real height, and tile set in thinset adds more. That thickness shows up at each door bottom, at the base of the casings, at the thresholds between rooms and at every appliance opening. A bedroom door with a generous gap clears easily, while a pantry door with a tight swing may bind. Each door is measured with the old floor in place, and the ones that will rub are marked on the plan.

Fixes before the floor goes in

Door bottoms can be cut down, or a door can be rehung after the floor is done. Casings are undercut with a flush saw so the plank slides beneath them and leaves no gap to caulk. Thresholds are picked last, once the finished heights of both rooms are known, so the transition meets the floor gently. Hollow interior doors trim easily, while solid ones may be planed or reset. The written quote lists these door items as their own lines, so none surfaces on install day.
