Interior doors take a beating. Hollow-core doors crack, latches stop catching, and seasonal movement in North Texas clay soil can shift a house just enough to make a door rub the frame. Sometimes a hinge or strike adjustment fixes it in minutes. Sometimes the door or the whole frame needs to be replaced.
We look at your photos, tell you which it is, and quote before work starts. We hang prehung doors in existing openings, fit slab doors to existing frames, adjust bifold and closet doors, and replace knobs, levers, stops, and trim so the opening looks finished.
Homes and small businesses. We handle interior doors for houses, rentals, offices, and storefronts. Tell us about building access and parking when you ask for a quote.

What affects the cost
- Adjust, slab, or prehung. An adjustment is the least expensive. A slab needs fitting and mortising. A prehung includes the frame.
- Opening condition. Out-of-square openings or damaged framing take more shimming and time.
- Door style. Solid-core doors are heavier. Double doors, bifolds, and pocket doors take longer.
- Trim and finish. New casing, painting, or staining is quoted separately if you want it.
- Number of doors. Doing several doors in one visit is more efficient than one at a time.
How to prepare
- Photograph the door, the latch side, the hinge side, and the floor under it.
- Measure the door width and height, and note which way it swings.
- If you bought a door, tell us whether it is prehung or a slab and send the label.
- Have new hardware on site.
- Clear about four feet on each side of the opening.
- Note any floor changes (new tile or carpet) that changed the door clearance.
What is not included
- Cutting new openings or moving a doorway
- Foundation repair (we can tell you when a sticking door may point to it)
- Custom door building
- Electronic access systems that need wiring
Texas and DFW notes
Clay soil and seasonal sticking
Expansive clay under many east DFW slabs shrinks in dry months and swells after heavy rain. Doors that stick only part of the year are often reacting to that. Adjust first; replace only if the door or frame is damaged.
New flooring and door clearance
Swapping carpet for tile or wood changes the floor height. Doors may need to be trimmed at the bottom so they clear the new floor.
Common questions
Should I buy a slab or a prehung door?
If the frame is square and in good shape, a slab can work. If the frame is damaged or out of square, prehung is usually easier. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you paint the new door?
We can, as a separate line on the quote, or you can buy a prefinished door.
My door only sticks in summer. Why?
Seasonal soil and humidity changes move the frame slightly. A hinge or strike adjustment often fixes it.
Can you match my existing doors?
If you can find the same style, yes. Send photos and we can help you identify the style to shop for.
Do you replace door hardware for a whole house?
Yes. Whole-house knob or lever swaps are common for new owners and landlords.
Do you work on office doors?
Yes, for small businesses, including interior doors, stops, and hardware. Commercial fire doors and access-control wiring are outside our scope.
