        "text": "Before scheduling door frame installation, measure the rough opening width, height, and wall thickness (jamb depth), and identify whether nearby walls are load-bearing. Check the floor level beneath the opening, as uneven flooring requires trimming jamb legs to ensure balanced operation. Decide beforehand which way you want the door to swing and note any obstructions like light switches, baseboard heaters, or cabinetry. Providing these measurements and swing preferences upfront helps your contractor select the right materials and plan accurate trim carpentry.",
