Exterior Door Installation: Museum District, Harris County
the Museum District 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.

- Old unit removed and the opening checked for rot

Homes in Museum District share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Sill rot under an old threshold is common here and gets repaired before the new door goes in.
We do not quote exterior door installation sight unseen. Someone comes out to Museum District, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
