Your Fondren Gardens Interior Door Installation Crew
the Fondren Gardens area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the interior door installation scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because A door that swings open on its own is a level problem, not a hardware problem.
Our Interior Door Installation scope in Fondren Gardens
- Hinges and strike adjusted for an even reveal
- Casing installed and joints filled
- Opening checked for plumb and square
- Unit shimmed and set so the door does not drift
Fondren Gardens is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Fondren Gardens home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.
