Exterior Door Installation: El Dorado-Oates Prairie, Harris County

JM Painting & Remodeling handles exterior door installation throughout the El Dorado-Oates Prairie area of Houston. Sealed, plumb and weathertight. Every El Dorado-Oates Prairie job runs the same way regardless of how large it is: the surface gets prepared before anything is applied, and no step gets skipped at your house because it is hidden once the work is finished.

What the work involves

Our Exterior Door Installation scope in El Dorado-Oates Prairie

  • Old unit removed and the opening checked for rot
  • Sill pan and flashing set before the new unit
  • Door shimmed plumb and fastened through to framing
  • Weatherstrip and threshold adjusted to a full seal
  • Exterior trim caulked and painted
