Interior Door Installation: Greater Third Ward, Harris County
Hung plumb, latches clean — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches interior door installation, and it does not change between the Greater Third Ward area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: slab movement in this area throws openings out of plumb, which is why we shim rather than force the jamb, so the scope gets set on site.
