        "text": "Yes, older or unfinished basements frequently have non-standard rough openings due to low ductwork, bulkheads, or uneven concrete floor slabs. In these situations, a standard off-the-shelf pre-hung door may not fit. A finish carpenter can cut down a solid slab door to exact dimensions, build a custom door jamb, or modify non-load-bearing wall framing to create a square, functional opening. It is critical to confirm floor clearances before trimming to account for future flooring installations like carpet or luxury vinyl tile.",
