Why us

Doors That Close Right.

Three things that separate a door install you forget about from one that sticks every winter.

  • 01

    Plumb, Level & Square

    A pre-hung door is only as good as the rough opening. We shim the jamb plumb, check the head level, and make sure the reveal is even all the way around before the trim goes on.

  • 02

    Flat-Rate Quotes

    You'll know the price before we open the box. Interior pre-hungs, slab-only swaps, casing packages and crown runs all priced up front.

  • 03

    Tight Miters

    Trim corners are coped or mitered to a hairline, glued, and pin-nailed so they don't open up in the dry season. We caulk and putty so it's paint-ready when we leave.

The neighbor's tip

Door & Trim Install, A Few Things Worth Knowing.

If a neighbor in Mulino called and asked who to hire for door and trim installation, here's exactly what we'd tell them. First, pre-hung is almost always the right choice for an interior door. A pre-hung comes with the slab already hung in a brand new jamb, so the hinges are mortised right and the latch lines up out of the box. Slab-only is cheaper, but you inherit whatever's wrong with the existing jamb, and a lot of older Oregon City homes have racked jambs that won't ever close clean.

Second, the rough opening matters more than the door. We check that the opening is the right size (a standard 30-inch pre-hung wants a 32-inch rough opening) and that the floor under it is flat. If the floor sags toward one side, even by a quarter inch, the door will swing open or closed on its own. We shim the jamb plumb in both directions and verify the reveal is consistent all the way around before nailing anything off.

Third, trim is what makes the install look professional or sloppy. We pre-paint or pre-prime trim pieces before install when possible, cope inside corners on baseboard, and cut miters on a finish saw so the joints are tight. We caulk the wall side, putty the nail holes, and leave it paint-ready. The Dandy Handyman doesn't leave miters that telegraph through the paint.

Door & Trim Install Questions.

Pre-hung or slab door, which should I buy?
Almost always pre-hung for an interior door. You get a brand new jamb with the hinges already mortised and a latch hole bored in the right spot, so the door closes clean on day one. Slab-only makes sense if your existing jamb is in great shape and you just want a style change, but a lot of older homes around Oregon City have racked jambs that won't ever close right no matter what slab you hang on them.
Can you install a door I bought from Home Depot or Lowe's?
Yes, that's how most of our door jobs go. Have it on site with the hardware (knob, hinges if not included) when we arrive. If we find the door is damaged or the wrong swing direction, we'll flag it before we tear out the old one so you can decide to swap it or reschedule.
How do I tell which way my door should swing?
Stand outside the room looking in. If the hinges would be on your right and the door opens away from you, that's a right-hand inswing. Left hinges, opens away, that's left-hand inswing. Outswing is less common but works the same way. When you order a pre-hung door this matters, so send us a photo and we'll confirm before you buy.
What's a typical install time for a single door?
An interior pre-hung with new casing runs about 2 hours including paint prep. A slab-only swap on an existing jamb is closer to an hour. Exterior pre-hung doors take 3 to 4 hours because we're also handling weather-stripping, the threshold, and exterior caulk. Whole-room trim packages depend on the room size, but a typical bedroom is a half day.
Do you install crown molding?
Yes, both single-piece crown and built-up crown (where we stack two or three profiles for a beefier look). Crown is one of the harder trim jobs because every corner is a compound angle and most rooms aren't actually square. We cope the inside corners so they stay tight when the wood moves seasonally, which a lot of Mulino and Canby homes do because of our wet winters and dry summers.
Will the trim be ready to paint?
Yes. We caulk the wall side of the trim, putty the nail holes, and leave the surface smooth and ready for primer or paint. If you want us to handle the painting too, we can pair this with our interior painting service so you get the whole job done in one visit.
Can you replace just the trim in a room without touching the doors?
Absolutely. Plenty of West Linn and Oregon City homeowners want to update from rounded clamshell trim to a flat craftsman profile or a square modern look, but the doors themselves are fine. We remove the old casing and baseboard, patch any drywall that comes off with it, then install the new profile. Single rooms or whole houses.
What's a reasonable price for door and trim install?
Most interior pre-hung doors start at $225 installed with basic casing. Slab-only swaps are about $175. Exterior pre-hung doors are quoted individually because of weather-stripping and threshold details. Whole-room casing or baseboard packages are quoted by the room. Send a photo and we'll get you specific numbers same day.
