Your Museum District Interior Door Installation Crew
Hung plumb, latches clean — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches interior door installation, and it does not change between the Museum District 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.
Our Interior Door Installation scope in Museum District
- 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
Homes in Museum District share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. A door that swings open on its own is a level problem, not a hardware problem.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the interior door installation itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Museum District home before the job is called done.
