CountBricks: Mission Doors Interior for Residential Builds

Understanding Mission Interior Doors in Modern Construction

Mission-style interior doors are a staple in modern construction, offering a blend of clean lines and warmth. These doors are not just about aesthetics; they require precise sizing, jamb alignment, and finish work. Current installation costs range from $650-$1200 per opening, depending on materials and labor.
