Door Installation in Montgomery, TX — Square, Plumb, Weather-Tight

24 Hours

Emergency Services

We at Hammerhead Renovation & Repair. If your door sticks, leaks air, or never lined up right from day one, I’ll come measure, check the opening, and give you a clear, line-item quote. We install exterior and interior doors so they swing clean, latch true, and seal tight against Montgomery heat and storms.

We work in Montgomery, Conroe, Magnolia, Willis, The Woodlands, and nearby.

What we install (and fix)

Front entry doors (fiberglass, steel, or wood), with sidelights and transoms
Patio doors (French, sliding, hinged), screen/storm doors
Interior doors (pre-hung, slab, pocket, barn)
Upgrades & hardware — handlesets, deadbolts, smart locks, closers, kick plates
Weatherproofing — thresholds, sweeps, weather-strip, flashing, low-expansion foam
Trim & casing — interior/exterior, paint-ready or stain-grade
Repairs — sagging hinges, out-of-square frames, rotten jambs/sills, latch/strike issues

If a repair will outlast a replacement, I’ll tell you. If not, I’ll show you why and spec the right door.

The part that makes doors last: the opening

Most door trouble isn’t the slab—it’s the opening. We check:

Plumb, level, square on the rough opening and floor
Sill/threshold height and shimming so water runs out, not in
Flashing & sealant at the sill and jambs so storms don’t find their way inside
Hinge side support so the door doesn’t sag after a season

Then we set the unit, foam lightly (low-expansion), and tune the reveals so you get a smooth swing and a clean, even gap.

Materials & options (plain talk)

Fiberglass entry — best balance of look + durability; won’t warp; can be stained or painted
Steel entry — secure, budget-friendly, great paint surface; needs good prep to avoid rust at cuts
Wood entry — classic, heavy, beautiful; wants an overhang and regular finish care
Patio: sliding vs. French — sliders save space; French doors open wide and seal well when installed correctly
Interior — solid core for sound/privacy, hollow core for budgets, MDF for crisp paint, hardwood for stain

Glass options: clear, Low-E, grids, blinds-between-glass. We’ll match what fits the house and the way you live.

How a typical door job goes

On-site visit (30–45 min). Measure, check the opening, discuss style and hardware. You get a line-item quote—no “starting at” prices.
Order & schedule. Off-the-shelf doors go in quickly; custom sizes/colors take longer.
Install day. Remove old unit, prep the opening, pan/flash the sill, set and plumb the frame, foam carefully, set hardware, then trim inside and out.
Finish. Paint or stain (if you want us to handle finishing), caulk, and cleanup.
Walk-through. We check latch/strike alignment, weather-strip compression, sweep contact, and show you how to adjust hinges and the strike if ever needed.

Most single-door swaps finish the same day. Patio doors and rot repairs can take longer.

Why homeowners call us

We show up when we say we will.
Doors close with a quiet click, not a shoulder shove.
Thresholds shed water; seals meet all around.
Trim is tight, miters are clean, caulk lines are straight.
If something bugs you on the walk-through, we fix it before the tools go back on the truck.
