Exterior Door Installation for Settegast Homeowners
Most exterior door installation problems we get called out to in the Settegast area of Houston trace back to preparation rather than product. Wind-driven rain in this region tests an entry door harder than day-to-day weather ever will. That is where our time goes on a Harris County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
