Exterior Door Installation: Afton Oaks-River Oaks, Harris County
Sealed, plumb and weathertight — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches exterior door installation, and it does not change between the Afton Oaks-River Oaks area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: wind-driven rain in this region tests an entry door harder than day-to-day weather ever will, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Exterior Door Installation scope in Afton Oaks-River Oaks
- Door shimmed plumb and fastened through to framing
- Weatherstrip and threshold adjusted to a full seal
- Exterior trim caulked and painted

A exterior door installation job in Afton Oaks-River Oaks starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.
