Wood decor and woodwork in Saudi Arabia, from idea to handover

Woodwork at Yam Integrated Construction covers interior and exterior pieces from design through to installation on site. We treat each piece as part of the design of the whole home, not as a separate item. A door should match the wardrobe, and a kitchen should work with the flooring, lighting and walls.

What is included in the scope

• Wooden kitchens designed for the space, the way you cook and the size of the family.
• Wooden doors for interiors and main entrances, with frames, fittings and locks.
• Wardrobes and cabinets built into walls, and walk in closets with well planned internal layouts.
• Wood decor for walls and ceilings, TV feature walls and majlis seating.
• Pergolas and outdoor seating for gardens, roofs and villa entrances.
• Bespoke pieces such as libraries, reception desks and shop and restaurant fronts.

Who the service is for

It suits owners of new villas who want all the woodwork carried out with one consistent design. It suits palaces that need handcrafted details, carving and premium finishes. It also serves owners of existing homes who want to renew the kitchen, change the doors or add wardrobes without a full renovation.

In commercial projects such as offices, showrooms and restaurants, we focus on how well the wood stands up to heavy use and how easy it is to clean. We design the pieces to reflect the identity of the place and to handle daily traffic.

If your project includes a full interior design, we coordinate the woodwork with our interior and exterior design service so colours, materials and lighting come together as one complete picture. This coordination prevents different wood tones from one room to the next, reduces changes after installation and saves the client the time of following up with several parties.

We can also make a single piece within an existing home while respecting the colours and materials around it. We take a sample of the colour of the existing floors or doors and choose a wood and finish that match. This way the new piece looks like part of the original design and not a foreign addition.

Choosing the material is the most important decision in any woodwork project. Each material has a place where it fits best, a different price and a lifespan that depends on how it is used. A common mistake is to use the same material everywhere in the house.

Veneer and finishes

Many premium pieces are made from an engineered board covered with natural wood veneer. This gives the look of natural wood with greater dimensional stability. The finish can be paint, polyester, acrylic or clear varnish. Each finish has a different resistance to scratches and heat and a different way of being maintained.

How to choose

Ask yourself where the piece will go, how much it will be used and whether it will be exposed to water or sun. A piece near water needs a moisture resistant material. An outdoor piece needs special treatment. A piece you see every day in the majlis deserves a higher grade of material and finish. During the site visit we show you real samples of materials and colours so you can touch them and compare them under the lighting of the space itself.

We also explain where more than one material can be combined in a single piece. For example, a strong plywood carcass with painted MDF fronts or fronts clad in natural veneer. This considered combination gives strength in the parts that carry weight and beauty in the parts you see, while keeping the cost balanced.

A successful wooden piece starts with understanding how you live before any drawing. A kitchen for a family that cooks every day is different from one that is rarely used. The wardrobe in the master bedroom is different from the one in a guest room. So we start with questions and then move to drawings.

The design stage

• We listen to your idea and look at any photos or examples you like.
• We measure the space precisely and record the positions of power points, plumbing, windows and air conditioning.
• We prepare drawings that show the external look and the internal layout.
• We review the design with you and revise it until it reaches the look you want.
• We confirm materials, colours and fittings in writing before manufacturing.

Why the final measurement matters

In many homes the walls are not perfectly straight and the floors may have a slight slope. That is why we take the final measurement after the tiling and plastering are finished, not before. This prevents gaps between the wardrobe and the wall and prevents doors that rub on the floor or do not close properly.

What affects the cost

The cost of woodwork depends on several factors that can be discussed openly. The first is the type of material, its thickness and its source. The second is the type of finish, because acrylic and polyester differ from standard paint. The third is the fittings, such as hinges, drawer runners, soft close systems and handles.

The cost also depends on the size of the piece and the level of detail, such as hand carving, ornamentation and integrated lighting. The difficulty of the site, moving pieces to upper floors and the number of pieces in the project also play a part. A simple design with good materials usually gives a better result than a crowded design with weak materials.

Our advice is to set your priorities before the design session. If the kitchen is the heart of your home, invest more in it and choose simpler designs for less used rooms. If the main doors are the face of the house for guests, make them from a stronger material with a richer finish. This smart allocation gives you a balanced result across the whole home, without overspending in one place and falling short in another.

Once the design is approved, execution begins. This stage needs precision and patience, because any mistake in cutting or assembly is hard to fix after finishing.

1. Preparing the materials and making sure natural wood is dry and boards are free of warping and defects.
2. Cutting and shaping according to the approved drawings using precise equipment.
3. Assembling the carcasses and test fitting them in the workshop before finishing to confirm sizes and angles.
4. Sanding and finishing in coats, allowing enough time for each coat to dry properly.
5. Workshop inspection of colour, texture and edges before wrapping.
6. Wrapping and transport with protection against scratches and knocks on the way.
7. Installation on site with levelling and safe fixing of the pieces to the walls.
8. Final adjustment of doors, drawers and hinges, then cleaning and handover.

Coordinating installation with other works

Timing matters. A kitchen needs the water, power and gas points ready in the right positions. Doors need the tiling and base painting to be finished. Built in wardrobes need level, prepared walls. So we coordinate with the plumbing, electrical and finishing teams so the pieces do not wait on site and get exposed to dust and humidity.

Protecting pieces after installation

If other work is still going on in the house, we cover the installed pieces with protective materials. Paint, dust and workers moving around can damage new surfaces. We remove the protection at final handover and review every piece with the client.

Throughout these stages we send the client photos from the workshop and the site. You see the pieces taking shape, gain confidence in the materials used before they reach your home and can give your comments at the right time.

At handover we go through the full list of pieces with the client and confirm that each one matches the approved design in material, colour and size. Any comment raised in this review is recorded and resolved before the stage is closed. The goal is for the client to receive every piece with confidence, not for us to finish quickly.

Kitchens, doors and wardrobes are the most used wooden pieces in a home. That is why the quality of execution shows in them faster than in any other piece.

Wooden kitchens that last

• Moisture resistant boards in the base units and under the sink.
• Tightly sealed edge banding so water does not get into the board.
• Hinges and drawer runners that can handle repeated opening and closing.
• Suitable ventilation around the oven, the fridge and heat producing appliances.
• A planned work triangle between the fridge, the sink and the hob for easy movement.

Wooden doors that stay true

A good door starts with a strong, level frame that is firmly fixed in the wall. The door leaf should have a weight that suits the number and type of hinges. Main and exterior doors need a more resistant wood and a protective coat against the sun. Bathroom doors need a material that is not affected by steam and a carefully set gap from the floor.

Practical wardrobes

A successful wardrobe is not the biggest one but the best organised. We plan the internal layout around what you will actually store, from long and short clothes to shoes and bags. We add internal lighting where needed and leave enough space for the doors to open, or use sliding doors in narrow rooms. We make sure the wardrobe reaches the ceiling or the gap above it is closed so dust does not collect. We fit adjustable shelves so the layout can change as the needs of the family change.

Common mistakes

• Choosing a standard material in places close to water.
• Installing doors before the tiling is finished, so they rub on the floor later.
• Relying on weak fittings to reduce the price.
• Neglecting ventilation behind kitchen appliances.
• Designing wardrobes so deep that it is hard to reach what is inside.
• Not leaving service openings to reach the water valves under the sink.

In every case our quotation states the type and brand of the fittings so you know exactly what you will get.

A wooden pergola adds a shaded seating area to the garden or roof and gives the facade a warm touch. But it lives outdoors under sun and dust, and sometimes rain and humidity. That is why it needs different planning from interior pieces.

Basics of a successful pergola

• Wood treated against insects and humidity and suitable for outdoor use.
• Firm bases that keep the wood from direct contact with soil or water.
• Rust resistant joints and fixings.
• A UV protective coat that preserves the colour.
• A design that follows the direction of the sun so it gives shade at the times you actually sit there.

A roof of panels, fabric or glass can be added as needed. Lighting and fans can be integrated, provided the electrical wiring is run safely and out of sight.

Climate changes the choice of wood

In the central region, such as Riyadh, Al Kharj and Buraydah, the weather is hot and dry. Wood here loses its moisture quickly and may crack if it was not properly dried before manufacturing. So we focus on thorough drying and on protective coats that reduce the effect of strong sun and dust.

In coastal cities such as Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar and Yanbu, humidity is high and the air is salty. Wood expands here and standard boards may swell. So we use moisture resistant materials and fittings made of non rusting metals, and we seal the edges well.

In the southern highlands such as Abha, Khamis Mushait and Al Baha, the weather is cooler and rain increases at certain times. Here we focus on draining rainwater away from outdoor wooden surfaces and on protective coats that handle humidity and the change in temperature between night and day.

Indoors, wood is also affected by constant air conditioning. So we leave small expansion gaps in floors and cladding so they do not lift or crack as temperatures change.

We prefer to leave the materials on site for a period before installation if there is a big difference between the conditions in the workshop and in the home. This lets the wood adapt to the humidity and temperature of the space, reducing the chance of movement after installation. It is a simple step, but it protects floors and large areas of cladding from many problems.

Quality in woodwork shows in the small details. That is why you have the right to inspect the pieces yourself before final handover.

Simple checks at handover

• Open and close every door and drawer more than once and make sure it moves smoothly and stays in place.
• Run your hand over the edges and surfaces and make sure they are smooth and free of bubbles and bumps.
• Look at the gaps between the doors and make sure they are even.
• Make sure the wood colour is consistent between neighbouring pieces.
• Make sure the wall cabinets are firmly fixed to the wall and do not wobble.

Maintenance after handover

Clean surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Dry any water on kitchen surfaces straight away. Adjust the hinges if you notice a slight tilt in any door. Renew the protective coat on outdoor wood whenever you notice a change in colour or a dry surface.

What a good quotation includes

A clear quotation states the type and thickness of the material and the type and colour of the finish. It lists the fittings and their brand, the number of pieces and their sizes. It explains what installation and transport cover, the warranty terms and the payment method linked to the stages. If these details are missing, ask for them in writing before you sign. Also ask for approved drawings attached to the contract so there is a clear reference for you and the contractor if any disagreement arises.

How we work at Yam Integrated Construction

We start with a site visit to understand what you need, then prepare a design and a written quotation. One team is responsible for design, manufacturing and installation under engineering supervision, and we use approved materials. We send you photos from the workshop and the site at the key stages. We hand over with a written warranty documented in the contract.

Our head office is in Riyadh, in the Al Suwaidi district, and we serve woodwork projects in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Taif, Abha, Hail and the rest of the Kingdom. You can see examples of our work on the projects page.

In woodwork, one product differs from another in details that do not show in a photo. Two kitchens that look the same can differ in board type and thickness and in the quality of hinges and runners. That difference does not show on installation day. It shows with use. So the specifications should be written into the quotation and the contract in clear language both sides understand.

Material specifications

• The board type, whether solid wood, MDF, plywood or particleboard.
• The board thickness for carcasses, doors and shelves, each stated separately.
• Whether the board is moisture resistant, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
• The edge banding type, how it is applied, its colour and how well it matches the front.
• The finish type, such as acrylic, polyester, paint or natural veneer.

For large pieces such as tall wardrobes and entrance doors, ask for the internal reinforcement to be stated in the specifications. Long panels need supports or divisions that stop them bending over time. Ask about the back panel of the cabinets too, because it touches the wall and is the first part affected by moisture. These details do not show in photos, but they make the difference in durability.

Hardware specifications

• The hinge type, and whether it is soft close.
• The drawer runner type, its load capacity and whether it opens fully.
• Handles, or a push to open system.
• Legs and water protection bases under the cabinets.
• Internal lighting if any, and where its switches go.

Hardware is the part you touch every day. A weak hinge makes the most beautiful kitchen annoying over time. So ask for the brand or grade to be written clearly, not just the words "excellent hardware".

Also ask how much weight the shelves can carry, especially in bookcases and kitchens. A long shelf with no support in the middle may bend under load.

Appearance specifications

Ask for a real colour sample, not a photo on a phone, because colour changes with lighting and screens. Ask for a shop drawing showing the dimensions, the layout of drawers and shelves and the positions of built in appliances. This drawing is the reference at handover and in any disagreement over details. Keep a copy with the contract.

Substitutes during the work

If a material or a hardware item is not available, the substitute should be presented to you by name and specification, and you approve it before manufacturing. Do not accept "or equivalent" without a clear definition. At Yam Integrated Construction we attach the specification list to the written quotation and approve the samples with you before any material enters the workshop. That way you know what you will receive before the first cut.

Workshop quality is not enough if the woodwork arrives at a site that is not ready. Damp walls or uneven floors affect the installation and the life of the pieces. A piece fixed to a damp wall may swell or change colour over time. These are the main points to settle before the installation team arrives.

Site readiness

• Tiling and plastering are finished and the walls have dried properly.
• Power and lighting points inside cabinets and above worktops are fixed.
• Water and drain points in the kitchen are ready according to the approved drawing.
• Gypsum work and false ceilings are finished where tall cabinets will go.
• Door openings are ready with fixed, straight dimensions.
• The AC in the home is running if possible, so humidity settles.

Check that walls and floors are straight and level where large cabinets will go. A leaning wall leaves a gap behind or above a cabinet and needs filler pieces. An uneven floor makes the doors misaligned. The more of this is fixed before installation, the cleaner the result, with no makeshift solutions on site.

Storage and access

The pieces arrive ready made and need a clean, dry, shaded place inside the home. Do not leave panels in the courtyard in the sun or near water. Make sure corridors, lifts and stairs allow large pieces through. If there are very large items, such as a kitchen island or entrance doors, agree in advance how they will be brought in, so neither the walls nor the piece are damaged.

Preparing the family or the workplace

In an occupied home, set aside a work area and keep children away from it, because the team uses cutting and fixing tools. Cover nearby furniture to protect it from dust and sawdust. Empty old wardrobes before they are removed if the work includes replacing them. In offices and shops, schedule installation at a quieter time and protect equipment and stock from sawdust.

One decision maker

Choose one person to make decisions with the team on site. Questions such as a handle height, the direction a door opens or the place of an extra shelf need a quick answer. Many opinions on site slow the work and can lead to conflicting changes. At Yam Integrated Construction we review the readiness checklist with you during the site visit and confirm it in writing before setting the installation date. If we find a point that is not ready, we tell you early so it is fixed before the pieces arrive.

Woodwork quotations vary a lot in how they are written. Some price by the linear metre, some by the piece and some give a single total. So comparing totals is not enough. You need to know exactly what each quotation includes and what it leaves out.

Ask for every quotation to come with a drawing or a list of pieces so you can see what will actually be made. A quotation with only a general description is hard to compare and hard to refer back to at handover.

Hidden differences

Sometimes a quotation is lower because it uses thinner boards, basic hinges or weak edging. Sometimes it leaves out delivery, removing the old kitchen or electrical changes. A quotation may say "complete kitchen" with no drawing showing the upper and lower units. These differences come back later as extras you did not plan for.

Our advice is to give every contractor the same drawing, the same dimensions and the same requested material. If one suggests a different material, ask them to write down the difference and the reason. That makes the comparison fair, and you know where you are paying more and why.

Per metre or per piece

Pricing by the linear metre makes kitchens and wardrobes easier to compare, but it can hide details such as extra drawers, special corners and built in appliances. Pricing by the piece is clearer for doors and cladding. What matters is knowing how each quotation is priced and what is included in each metre or piece, so you do not compare two different things.

Questions before signing

• Ask whether design and shop drawings are part of the quotation.
• Ask about measuring visits and who is responsible for a measuring error.
• Ask what happens if you want a change after the design is approved.
• Ask how payment works and how it links to work stages.
• Ask whether the warranty is in writing and what it excludes.

At Yam Integrated Construction we write every item in the quotation clearly and attach the drawings so you compare on a clear basis. We answer any question in writing before you sign.

Woodwork usually comes in the last stages of finishing. So it is affected by everything before it, including plumbing, electrical work, worktops, gypsum and painting. Any coordination mistake shows up in the wood itself, as extra holes or pieces altered on site.

With plumbing

Water and drain points in kitchens and bathrooms must sit where they match the cabinet drawing. Even a small leak under the sink damages wood over time. So it is better to test the pipework before the base units are installed and make sure there is no seepage.

With electrical work

Points for built in appliances and lighting inside cabinets and above worktops are fixed before manufacturing. Adding them after installation means extra holes in the wood and visible cables. Oven and microwave points must be placed where they allow ventilation around the appliance.

With stone and worktops

The kitchen worktop is measured after the base units are installed. Coordination between the joinery and stone teams fixes the exact position of the sink and the hob. The units must be perfectly level so the worktop sits without gaps or stress.

In bathrooms, the basin height and the mixer position must be decided before the vanity unit is made. Moving the mixer after manufacturing means cutting the wood, which can weaken its water resistance.

With painting and gypsum

It is best for the base paint to be finished before installation, with final touch ups done carefully afterwards, because painting after installation can stain the wood. Gypsum work above tall cabinets must be completed first so dust does not fall on them.

With air conditioning

If cladding or cabinets go on a wall that carries an AC unit, free space must be left around the unit for airflow and maintenance. Concealed duct grilles in wooden ceilings must be designed with the ceiling from the start. The AC drain should never run behind the wood without protection, because any leak from it damages the pieces.

Safety on site

• Cutting tools are used with proper guards and non workers are kept away.
• Upper cabinets and tall pieces are fixed securely to the wall to stop them falling.
• The space is ventilated when adhesives or paints are used.
• Sawdust and offcuts are cleared after every stage.

When design and execution sit with one team, as in our interior and exterior design service, coordination is easier. At Yam Integrated Construction an engineering supervisor follows the sequence of works so the woodwork comes in at the right time, and we send you photos of every stage so you can follow progress.

Woodwork in a home is different from woodwork in an office, shop or restaurant. How the pieces are used and cleaned, and how many people touch them, all change the choice. A material that is excellent in a bedroom may not last at a busy reception desk.

Villas, palaces and apartments

That is why we always start by understanding who will use the space and how. A home with small children needs safe corners and easy to clean surfaces. An office that receives clients needs pieces that keep their look despite constant touching and movement.

At home, owners care about comfort, appearance and quietness. Soft close drawers, roomy wardrobes, majlis cladding and room doors are all part of daily life. In palaces and large villas, attention turns to details such as carving, natural veneer and wooden ceilings. Colours should also match across the kitchen, doors and cladding so the home feels complete.

Offices and showrooms

In offices the priority is durability and easy cleaning. Reception desks, wooden partitions and filing cabinets face heavy use, so scratch resistant surfaces and strong edging are preferred. In showrooms the woodwork is part of the identity of the space, so it needs a design that serves product display and makes rearranging easy.

Restaurants and cafes

These spaces have humidity, heat and frequent cleaning with water. They need moisture resistant materials and finishes that stand up to cleaning products, with details that stop dirt collecting in corners and allow access behind the pieces.

Hotels and serviced apartments

In these projects rooms repeat with the same design, and the pieces are used by many different guests. They need strong materials, finishes that are easy to repair and hardware available on the market so it can be replaced quickly. Manufacturing for many rooms needs a prototype that is approved before full production starts.

Multi unit projects

In residential buildings and compounds, standardising the design and material across apartments helps. It simplifies manufacturing, unifies the look and makes maintenance and replacement easier later.

At Yam Integrated Construction we ask how the space will be used before suggesting a material. We carry out woodwork for villas and projects in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah and the other cities of the Kingdom.

Not all old woodwork needs to be removed. Many kitchens, wardrobes and doors have a sound carcass and only need new fronts or new hardware. The decision depends on the condition of the piece after inspection, not on its age or outward look alone.

When a refresh is enough

• When the carcass is solid and free of swelling.
• When the problem is the colour, the finish or the handles.
• When hinges and runners are worn but their fixing points are sound.
• When the current internal layout suits you.

When replacement is better

• When there is swelling from moisture, especially under the sink.
• When there is woodworm or decay in the wood.
• When the current layout does not suit the way you use the space.
• When fixing to the wall keeps failing.

Refresh options

Doors and fronts can be changed while the carcass is kept. Wooden doors can be repainted or wrapped. Standard hinges can be replaced with soft close ones, and runners and handles can be changed. For interior doors, adjusting the hanging, sanding the edges and repainting may be enough. Old cladding can have its surface renewed and concealed lighting added to give the space a new feel.

Before any refresh, the original cause of the problem must be fixed. If swelling comes from a plumbing leak, there is no point changing the front before the leak is repaired. If a door rubs because the frame has dropped, the frame must be secured first.

Extensions and additions

When new cabinets are added next to old ones, matching the colour and material is a challenge. So take a sample from the existing piece and test the new colour next to it under the same lighting. Sometimes it is better to renew all the fronts so the look is unified.

Refreshing an occupied home

A refresh causes less disruption than full replacement. Much of the work, such as new fronts and hardware, can be prepared in the workshop and then fitted on site quickly, which reduces dust and noise in the home.

Another option is updating the internal layout of wardrobes. Adding inner drawers, shoe racks or a place for suitcases makes an old wardrobe more useful without changing its outside. In kitchens, internal organisers and pull out baskets make deep corners easier to reach.

If the refresh is part of a wider home upgrade, it can be carried out within renovation works in one sequence. The Yam Integrated Construction team inspects the pieces and writes down what is worth keeping and what needs changing before any quotation.

A limited budget does not have to mean lower quality. What matters is putting the money into the places with the most effect that stand up to use, and knowing where the difference really shows and where nobody notices it.

Where to invest more

• The kitchen, because it faces water, heat and constant use.
• Hinges and runners, because they shape how the piece feels every day.
• Moisture resistant materials in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Exterior doors and pergolas exposed to the sun.

Where you can save

• Internal carcasses of cabinets that are not seen.
• Guest rooms and storerooms.
• Natural veneer instead of solid wood on large areas of cladding.
• Simpler decorative details while keeping the quality of manufacture.

Matching the grade to each place

Every material comes in different grades. You can choose a practical grade for the carcass and a higher one for the fronts you see every day. You can also choose a simpler finish for inner rooms and a tougher one for the kitchen and entrances. This spread gives a complete look and puts the money where its effect is visible.

Working in phases

You can start with the kitchen and doors and move to wardrobes and cladding later. What matters is a unified design from the start so the phases match. Keep the colour code and the material name to make matching easier later. Prepare power and lighting points for the later phases now so no breaking is needed.

Timing in the year

Intense summer heat affects some adhesives and finishes during installation in spaces without AC. High humidity in coastal cities such as Jeddah and Dammam means the pieces should be stored in an air conditioned space before installation. In the southern highlands such as Abha, cold and damp in winter call for attention to ventilation. Demand also rises before Ramadan and the Eid holidays, so planning early makes booking easier and leaves enough time for design.

Remember that a change after manufacturing costs more than a change on paper. So take your time at the design stage and review the drawings carefully before approval. This is one of the smartest ways to save in any woodwork project.

At Yam Integrated Construction we present more than one option for material and finish and explain how each affects appearance, lifespan and maintenance. The final decision is yours, once the picture is clear.

A careful handover protects you from problems that appear after a period of use. It is a calm inspection of every piece against the approved drawing and specifications. Do not rush it, even if the overall look is beautiful.

Handover checklist

• Open every door and drawer and check that it opens and closes smoothly without rubbing.
• Check that doors are level and the gaps between them are even.
• Inspect edges and corners and make sure the banding is firmly bonded with no gaps.
• Compare the colour with the approved sample in daylight.
• Check that upper cabinets are fixed firmly to the wall.
• Inspect the sink area and make sure the wood is protected from water.
• Check that built in appliances slide in and work without touching the wood.
• Ask for protective films and stickers to be removed and the pieces cleaned.

Signs of poor work

Some signs reveal weak execution even when the look is attractive. Edging that starts to lift, or rough cut outs around the sink and hob. Screws showing in the wrong places, or silicone used to hide gaps. Doors that are not parallel, or drawers that need force to open. A clear colour difference between one piece and another, or scratches in the finish. Report these to the contractor before final sign off and ask for them to be fixed.

What the warranty covers

The written warranty should state what it includes, such as manufacturing defects, edging coming away, hardware faults and door adjustment. It should also state what it excludes, such as damage from plumbing leaks or misuse. Know how to request service and who to contact.

Do not sign the handover report before trying every piece yourself. If there are minor notes, write them in the report with an agreed date for fixing them so they are not forgotten.

What to keep after handover

Keep the final drawings, the material names and the colour and hardware codes. Keep a small offcut of the material if possible. This information makes any future repair or addition easier and the matching more accurate.

After handover

Wood adjusts to the conditions of the home after installation, and some hinges may need small adjustments with use. This is normal. What matters is having a clear contact for these adjustments.

At Yam Integrated Construction we give you a signed handover report and a written warranty documented in the contract. We send you photos of the manufacturing and installation stages, and we come back to adjust hinges and doors when needed within the terms of the warranty.
