Interior Door Installation Near Fifth Ward, TX
Most interior door installation problems we get called out to in the Fifth Ward area of Houston trace back to preparation rather than product. Slab movement in this area throws openings out of plumb, which is why we shim rather than force the jamb. That is where our time goes on a Harris County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
