Interior door installation covers hanging pre-hung doors (frame included) or fitting slab doors into existing frames. Pre-hung doors are the faster option and include a new jamb, hinges, and strike plate. Slab doors are more economical if the existing frame is in good condition — we mortise the hinges, drill the lockset bore, and hang the door with proper reveals. We install bedroom, bathroom, closet, pocket, and barn-style sliding doors. All installations include hardware (handle set and hinges), trim (casing), and adjustment for smooth latching and swing.

North Highlands is located in Sacramento County (Sacramento Metro). Working-class suburb with affordable mid-century housing. The local utility provider is SMUD.

Project Timeline

Old Door Removal

10-15 min

Remove the existing door from its hinges, pull the hinge pins, and remove the old casing trim. For pre-hung installations, remove the old frame as well.

Frame Preparation

15-30 min

Check the rough opening for plumb and square. For pre-hung doors, position the frame and shim for plumb. For slab doors, mortise the hinge locations on the jamb and door edge.

Door Hanging & Hardware

30-45 min

Secure the frame (pre-hung) or hang the slab door on hinges. Install the handle set and strike plate. Adjust the hinges so the door swings freely and latches smoothly with even reveals.

Trim & Finishing

20-30 min

Nail on the door casing trim, fill nail holes with wood filler, and caulk the trim-to-wall joint if desired. The door is ready for painting or staining.

Interior Door Installation in North Highlands — FAQ

How much does interior door installation cost?+

A pre-hung hollow-core door runs $200-$400 installed in the Sacramento area. Solid-core doors cost $300-$600. Slab-only installation (using the existing frame) is $150-$300 per door.

Pre-hung vs. slab door — which should I choose?+

Pre-hung doors include a new frame and are best when the existing frame is damaged or you want a fresh, perfectly aligned installation. Slab doors save money if the frame is square and in good condition.

How long does interior door installation take?+

A single pre-hung door takes 1.5-2.5 hours. A slab door in an existing frame takes 1-2 hours. Multiple doors in the same visit are more efficient — expect 1-1.5 hours each after the first.

Do you install barn doors or pocket doors?+

Yes. Barn door installation takes 1.5-2 hours and requires a structural header or blocking above the opening. Pocket doors are more complex (3-5 hours) as they require modifying the wall framing.
