Interior door installation in Maple Grove, MN is mostly swapping the hollow-core doors production builders hung in every room for solid-core or paneled doors. JMB Builders installs prehung units or fits new slabs to your existing jambs, shims at the hinges and strike, sets even margins, cases the opening and fits your hardware. Priced per door; a whole-house set costs less per door than one. Quote from photos or a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per door, prehung or slab
- Even margins, latches with a click
- Whole-house sets lower the per-door rate
Production builders in Maple Grove hung the same flush or molded hollow-core door in every bedroom, bath and closet of a neighborhood. Thirty years on they have dents, the veneer is lifting at the bottom edge, and a door slammed by a kid sounds like a drum. Many were set fast, so some rub at the head or need a shoulder to latch.
The usual fix is solid-core doors in the bedrooms, baths and office, and standard doors left on closets. If the jambs are straight and you like the casing, we fit new slabs to the old jambs: hinge mortises cut to match, the lock bored, the edge planed for an even gap. If the jambs are beat up or out of square, a prehung unit goes in and gets new casing.
Lower levels are their own case. A basement finished later often has a different door style than upstairs, and doors cut short for carpet that is now gone. We hang one door style through both floors. We do the same work in Rogers and Brooklyn Park.

- Hollow-core, solid-core or glass-panel doors
- Bifold and bypass closet doors vs. swinging doors

Situations and options
Slab swap into existing jambs
New solid-core slabs fitted to the jambs already in the wall. The casing stays, so there is less painting and less mess.
Prehung replacement
Old door, jamb and casing out, a new prehung unit set plumb and cased. Best where jambs are dented, split or out of square.
Closet doors
Builder bifolds replaced with new bifolds, bypass doors or a pair of swinging doors, with track and pivots set so they run quietly.
French doors for an office
A pair of glass-panel doors on a main-floor den or office so it closes off without going dark.
Interior Door Installation in Maple Grove, MN: questions, answered
Is it worth replacing hollow-core doors in a Maple Grove house?
For bedrooms, bathrooms and an office, usually yes. Solid-core doors cut noise between rooms, close with a solid feel and do not dent from a bumped vacuum. Many owners keep standard doors on closets and do solid-core everywhere else to manage cost.
Can you put new doors in my old door frames?
Yes, if the jambs are straight and in good shape. We fit the new slab to the opening, cut hinge mortises to line up with the existing jamb, bore for the lockset and plane the edge for an even gap. If a jamb is twisted or split, we recommend a prehung door for that opening instead.
Do you supply the doors or do I buy them?
Either. If you buy the doors at Menards, Home Depot or a lumberyard, send us the order first and we check the size and handing from photos. If you would rather not shop, tell us the style and core and we put the doors and hardware on the quote.
Do I need a permit to replace interior doors in Maple Grove?
Swapping doors in existing openings is finish work. Widening an opening or adding a new doorway changes framing, and most cities require a permit for that; we check with the City of Maple Grove building department and pull it when one is needed.
Why do my interior doors rub or not latch?
Usually a loose top hinge, a jamb that was never shimmed tight, or a house that has settled a little. Long screws through the top hinge into the stud, re-shimming and moving the strike fix most of them. If you are replacing doors anyway, every new one is set so it latches without a push.
How much does interior door installation cost in Maple Grove?
It is priced per door, and the number moves with slab vs. prehung, the door type and how many doors are in the job. A full set costs less per door than one or two. Send a photo of each opening and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
