Your Greater Inwood Exterior Door Installation Crew
the Greater Inwood area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the exterior door installation scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Sill rot under an old threshold is common here and gets repaired before the new door goes in.
Our Exterior Door Installation scope in Greater Inwood
- Door shimmed plumb and fastened through to framing
- Weatherstrip and threshold adjusted to a full seal
- Exterior trim caulked and painted
- Old unit removed and the opening checked for rot
- Sill pan and flashing set before the new unit
Greater Inwood 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.
We do not quote exterior door installation sight unseen. Someone comes out to Greater Inwood, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
