Classic Morris 

 is a comprehensive Door service with an experience dating back 50+ years and spanning 3 generations.

Fred Morris began his career in the early 1950’s in Houston as a Weatherstripping  Specialist & Door Installer. He was a meticulous craftsman and took great pride in his work. He dressed in khaki pants & nice button up suit shirts. He would return home at the end of his workday looking as fresh & clean as when he left the house that morning. His career spanned the 1950’s - 1980’s

 

 His youngest son, Lannis at the tender age of 10yrs, began riding with him on Saturdays to make toy & hobby money. Lannis soon learned there is only one way to do the job & that’s the “RIGHT” WAY. Fred was good teacher & emphasized developing a routine & doing the job the same way each time. His mantra was “ Do good work & do clean work! “  I remember him telling me, “ A good installer isn’t one who never makes mistakes, but one who is willing & able to fix those mistakes.” 

 Lannis began his professional career in 1977 in the same weatherstripping & door installation business. As the family grew & Houston became more diversified as a large thriving city, Lannis saw a niche in the industry to develop a staining &door business to serve the mahogany entry door craze that was thriving in the Houston market. As this market developed, most if not all Greater Houston Builders, included a nice entry door as part of their package. We began to see a need for restoring the doors to the “ Like New Condition “  after several years of Houston’s harsh climate had taken its toll on the nice polyurethane finish. We developed a process using state of the art materials & techniques that brought the beauty of the original finish back to it’s original luster. Many times our customers tell us the door looks better than when it was new.

 As the Morris Family grew & each member became involved in the business, the “Traditions” were passed down & Michael & Candace got involved with the business as well.

 Leas Morris,. Wife of Lannis & Mother of Michael & Candace, was the Business Mgr & ran the day to day operations of “DOORWORKS”.

 

This brings us to the year 2000.

 And this is where my story continues “Tradition”!
