DONE BY DINNER

INTERIOR DOORS + CUSTOM CLOSETS
Imagine replacing every interior door in your home.
Now imagine doing it without tearing out the frames, setting up a painting station, living with construction dust or watching the project stretch across the week. By dinner, it could be finished.
That is the idea behind the way Grinyer Interior Doors & Closets approaches home upgrades. The secret to a oneday transformation is that installation day is not when most of the work happens. It starts with a consultation and precise digital measurements of each existing door opening. Because frames are rarely perfectly square, every opening is mapped individually.
Those measurements are then sent to Grinyer’ s Cambridge facility, where each new door is cut using CNC equipment to fit its specific opening.
Before the doors ever arrive at the house, they have already been sanded, primed, painted and oven-cured in a controlled environment. Hinges and hardware are prepared to match the existing placement.
So by the time the crew arrives on installation day, the hard part is already done.
Existing frames can often remain in place, there is no painting happening in the hallway, and many whole-home door replacements can be completed in a single day.
Grinyer takes a similar approach to custom closets. Instead of starting with shelves and hoping they solve the problem, homeowners begin with a design consultation and a 3D rendering of the finished space. The layout can be adjusted before anything is ordered, then professionally installed once the design is right.
It is a modern approach to renovation: spend more time planning and preparing behind the scenes, so homeowners spend less time living through the project.- Grinyer, www. grinyer. ca
The crew is not starting a renovation. They are completing one.
