ballpark it: how much to install 5 doors?
Hi all – curious what you think it’d cost for a carpenter to install 5 interior pre-hung doors. Frames, hardware, trim, paint. I’m thinking 4 days and $1500 plus cost of doors, hardware, etc. Your numbers much appreciated. Thanks!

Bond – good advice. Thank you.
AreteIndus – very true, and definitely the case. Thanks!
midnightrider – they do have to rip-out, but very basic doors. Thanks for the perspective.
I wouldn’t hire any finish carpenter that couldn’t hang and trim out five pre-hung interior doors in two hours, not including painting, or removing the old doors. I also wouldn’t pay a finish carpenter to demo or paint.
If it was new construction with plumb, level openings, sheetrock walls and new doors that were measured properly, etc. that sounds right. But in a brownstone, without looking at the condition, it’s more difficult to say.
It depends on what’s involved.
Do they need to rip out the existing doors? Interior/exterior? How big etc. A double hung entry door w/ sidelights is significantly more difficult to wrangle than a powder room closet door.
In any case, 4 days and $1500 seems more than reasonable.
If it were new construction, you could probably expect to hang 5 pre-hung doors interior in a day, no problems.
