Default Need to refinish a mahogany front entry door

Your best way to find out is to ask them and get
a formal quote for the specific job.

Specific questions / considerations might include:
Does the job include filling in the holes
and how? You'd have to consider if the frame
is wood or metal, stained or painted.
It would seem the entire door would be refinished
(wood protection) before adding the kick plate,
but if there's a concern, get it written into the
contract/work order.
Do they do the take-down / rehang or do you?
Have them describe the normal procedure,
start to finish. If you need something different,
get it written in.
If the temporary is just screwed in, is it a door
or a piece of plywood? How's security in that
part of Houston? Might you have a back door
or door to the garage that would fit the front door
frame and you could stick the temp door there?
Would a BORG special door and lockset fit into
the budget?
...and on and on.
