We have an opening from our bedroom to the bathroom and would like to have a door installed. Looking for someone qualified and experienced in installing doors.
Photo is what it should look like after the door is installed. Currently it is just an opening with drywall.
Thanks

If (big if) the opening is the correct size for a door with the frame I have seen DIY kits that include the frame, door and molding. If you are not interested in DIY, there are several handymen on this site that should be able to help. Last choice, both Lowes and Home Depot have installation services.
In my humble opinion, I would first carefully measure the existing opening to see if it a sized for a standard door and frame. If it is not, the project becomes more complicated, you may need to trim the door to fit or shim the opening for the frame to fit.
If you are open to other solutions, a simple curtain will block the opening, bi-fold closet doors or accordion doors will do the same and are easy to hang.

This project could be very expensive. Another option is to consider a sliding barn door, which would not require any demolition work.

Measure, buy interior pre-hung door, buy a EZ-hang door installation kit ($8), hang. No shims, accurate. Greatest invention since the contour gauge. Takes a door install from 2 hours down to about 30 minutes to be able to use door.
