Rice-Military Interior Door Installation
Hung plumb, latches clean — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches interior door installation, and it does not change between the Rice-Military 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.

Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Rice-Military is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Slab movement in this area throws openings out of plumb, which is why we shim rather than force the jamb.
Here is the order of operations in Rice-Military: we look at the work in person, price it in writing, book a start date you agree to, do the job, and walk your Rice-Military project with you at the end. No stage gets skipped and nothing gets added without your say.

What interior door installation costs in Rice-Military
If three Harris County contractors quote your interior door installation and the numbers are far apart, these variables are almost always why. Knowing them helps you compare quotes like a pro — including ours.
- Casing: keep, replace or upgrade while the trim carpenter is there
- Style and core: hollow, solid-core for sound, panel profiles
- Slab-only swap versus new pre-hung units with jambs
- Door count: single replacement or the whole house in one mobilization
