Interior door installation in your Wheaton home requires getting the fit right so the door swings freely, latches cleanly, and looks finished in the opening. Jacob installs prehung and slab doors throughout Montgomery County including bifold, barn, and standard swing doors.
Wheaton is an urban suburb with a mix of post-war homes and mid-century construction. Older homes here often need work that takes experience to do correctly, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and around older plumbing.
Jacob holds MHIC #112963, Maryland's home improvement contractor license. Licensed and insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on door type and whether framing work is needed. Wheaton has a lot of older post-war and mid-century homes. Jacob has experience with the plumbing and bathroom issues common in homes of that age. Jacob gives you a clear quote after seeing the opening.
A prehung door includes the frame and hinges already attached. A slab is the door panel only, fitted into your existing frame. Jacob installs both.
A prehung door installation typically takes two to three hours. Slab fitting takes less time when the existing frame is in good condition.
Yes. Jacob installs barn door track hardware, confirms the wall can support it, and hangs the door level and operating smoothly.
If your existing frame is in good condition and the correct size, a slab door is more cost-effective. If the frame is damaged or out of plumb, prehung is the right choice. Jacob assesses the opening and tells you which one makes sense before you purchase anything.
If the frame is plumb and square and the door is in reasonable shape, adjustment and hardware work usually resolves it. If the door has warped, the frame is damaged, or the rough opening has shifted enough to prevent a clean fit, replacement is the better call. Jacob assesses the frame and door together before recommending which path makes sense.
Interior doors in most Montgomery County homes are a standard hollow core or solid core panel door in a common profile. Jacob installs what you select, and most home improvement stores stock doors that match common existing profiles. If you want an exact match for an unusual profile, he helps you identify what to look for before purchasing.
Yes. Trim and casing installation is part of a complete door installation when included in the scope. Jacob cuts, miters, and nails trim to match existing profiles in the room. Ask when you call so it is quoted correctly.
Not necessarily. Call first with the door opening dimensions and whether you need prehung or slab, and Jacob can confirm what to buy before you go to the store. If you have already purchased the door, he verifies the fit before installation day so there are no surprises.
Call Jacob directly at (301) 395-3831. Do not purchase the door until Jacob confirms the opening size and whether you need prehung or slab. He serves Wheaton and all of Montgomery County. MHIC #112963. Licensed and insured.
