Interior Doors
Flat hollow-core doors from 1985 date a house faster than the paint color does. Replacing them is one of the least disruptive upgrades available — no plumbing, no permits, no dust wall — and the difference across a hallway of five doors is immediate.

Process note: measure the floor, not just the opening
New flooring changes door clearance, so if flooring is in your plans, doors should come after — or at minimum be ordered with the finished floor height accounted for. We also check whether existing doors are true 30 or 32 inch units; older Triad homes have a surprising number of non-standard openings that need a custom slab or a jamb rebuild.

FAQs about this service
Slab or pre-hung — which do I need?
A slab is just the door panel and it works when the existing jamb is square, solid and staying. Pre-hung includes a new frame and hinges, which is the right call when the jamb is damaged, painted shut, or the opening has racked with the house. In homes built before the 1980s the jamb is usually the problem, so pre-hung is more common than people expect.
Can you add a barn door or pocket door?
Barn doors mount on the wall surface and need clear wall to slide onto plus solid blocking for the track — no demolition required, so they're the easy option. Pocket doors slide into the wall cavity, which means opening drywall and verifying nothing electrical or structural is in the bay. Both are doable; the pocket door is a considerably bigger project.
Hollow core or solid core?
Solid core is worth the upgrade on bedrooms, bathrooms and any office where sound matters — it's noticeably heavier, quieter, and doesn't sound like a drum when it closes. Hollow core is fine for closets and linen doors. Most clients mix the two rather than paying for solid throughout.
