02 – Two Door-Frame Disasters—Damage & Paint Stains—Fixed Once and for All!
Dear Homeowners,
With ladders clanging and crews rushing through hallways, our inbox keeps pinging:
“My brand-new door frame arrived scratched!"
“Paint splatters ruined the architrave before hand-over!”
Today the Independent Lab unpacks the two most common door-frame catastrophes and delivers the official-grade fixes in three minutes———
bookmark this and forward it straight to your contractor.
──────────────────
01 Damage Invasion: Blame the Process, Not the Traffic
Root Causes
- Door frames transported without protection—corners dent on impact.
- After installation, no finished-product shield—other crews chip the casing.
- Inadequate process hand-over—nobody tracks custody.
Official Prevention & Cure
- Moisture-meter moment for wood: do not unpack until factory wrapping is intact; reject any damaged frame.
- Apply dedicated door-frame protection strips immediately after install; keep them on until final clean-up.
- Establish a signed Custody Log—installer → painter → cleaner—so responsibility is crystal-clear.
02 Paint-Stain Walls: Overspray & Smudges Solved
Root Causes
- Site supervision gaps—edges left naked.
- Teams lack finished-product awareness; masking tape and corner protectors are misused or forgotten.
- Rough, rushed construction—no daily spot-checks.
Official Prevention & Cure
- Prep: enforce finished-product protection briefing before any paint bucket is opened.
- Use the same protocol, same protective film, same corner guards—finish one room before moving tools.
- For any breach, repaint or re-sand the affected casing and reinstall protection—perfectionists protect first, repaint never.
