HOW TO REPAIR ROTTED DOOR JAMB

Where did you get the section of door jamb that you used to replace the rotted section?

Name of the cutter please

Where did you get the door jam section from

Who does this kind of repair and what would be the cost?

Use pressure treated in that area is important

Great vid! Thanks!

this door is installed backwards

Super helpful video! I thought I would have to get the entire frame replaced for several thousands $$$! In this Horrible economy, my husband and I HAVE to do Everything DIY, thank you!

I am struggling to find the door jamb. I looked in the 2 box stores, in person and online, and only find a kit which is $150+. I am sure they have it, I just don't know if I am searching wrong or something. It comes just as needed, with the groove for the weatherstripping and everything - right? Any guidance you can provide?

You don't have to reattach the jamb to the threshold? Nice video.

Thank you, Sir!

Thanks for the quick video. I’ll be doing this tomorrow.

Definitely on the right track! But you could have done a few things differently to guarantee no future issues

That was a good job

Seal that area with flex seal or something similar otherwise the frame can rot again

I never saw that blade before, where did you buy it? Thx

Peace! Nice video and thank you! I was wondering when I learned this (because I’m becoming a handyman) how much would I charge for a task like this on average? Bless

Before you placed the patch in, I hope you sealed the end grains. If you didn’t water is going to wick back up into the patch and rot it out again. Otherwise, nicely done.

all my door metal strike plate where the door knob slices in an locks the supported wood jam is all gone idea how to replace the supported wood behind it?

Hadn’t thought of using bondo in a repair like this till you said it then my wife and I was talking about it and I realized you did that because of the door being an outside door and subject to the weather. The bondo will expand and contract like the original wood.

Nice work and thank you!

Being old school, I went primer and oil base trim paint as it far out lasts latex paint concerning the elements. My dad showed me this repair on our back garage door where the door sill rotted. He used a trim saw because back then there was no fancy smansy oscillating trim saws back then. I have since done several of these repairs over time using his method. I just invested in an Oscillating saw and have to admit, the thing is a wonder of science! I will never go back to the trim saw.

Like a boss!

looks good.

What tool did you use?

would be better if you did a half lap joint but nice work

Like it never happened. Nice work!

Great. Thanks.

How much does a job like this cost?
