Interior Door Installation: Tiki Island, Galveston County
Hung plumb, latches clean — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches interior door installation, and it does not change between Tiki Island 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 Tiki Island 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.
Set in Galveston County, Tiki Island spans about 0.5 square miles with a population of 1,109 (2023 est.); Bayou Vista sits 2.4 miles away and Hitchcock 5.7, both inside our coverage.
A interior door installation job in Tiki Island starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.
