I recently renovated my home and specifically requested a solid-core door for the wall leading to my new home office, as stated in the contract. However, the contractor installed a hollow-core door instead. I'm unsure how to handle this situation. Should I insist they replace it with the solid-core door I originally wanted? I assume this might involve taking apart the wall, removing the frame, and installing a new door.

Absolutely, you should have them replace it with the solid-core door as specified in the contract. They won't have to tear down the wall completely, but they may need to remove the trim around the door. Good luck!
Yes, definitely make them swap it out! A solid-core door is way more expensive and you should get what you paid for. They can easily replace just the door slab without much hassle.
You paid for a solid-core door, and that’s what you should get. If it’s part of the contract, they’re obligated to change it. Don't hesitate to bring this up with your contractor.
