I have seen a few of your rot repair videos and one comment I would like to make, as a fellow carpenter with over 35 years in the trade, is that once you have the rotten material removed, I recommend you treat the exposed areas with an appropriate chemical to kill any remaining termites or rot fungus that might not be apparent before you make the actual repair. It will give you and your client more peace of mind and make your repairs last longer.

If I understand correctly, it’s nice to replace some dry rot rim joist but not always necessary to get 100% of it out if it’s not structural problem. It’s tempting to go overboard with it but in my case, I think it’s OK to leave some dry rotin a few spots now that I’m going to add the proper building, paper and flashing. This was missing from my deck!

To Anthony Osborne I thought it'd be a fairly easy couple of hours DIY for me to remove a 12 in section of the bottom left side of door frame, or jamb part. A few inches had rotted, the side that borders a raised flower garden... Too much over spraying the plants over the years is the culprit. Anyhow, I'm on day 2 lol. I put in a good 2 or 3 hours yesterday, priming the replacement wood section, gently and gingerly and slowly taking out the rotted section. My hands and wrists have gotten too weak over the years, I'm very small ones, barely weigh 90 lbs, so I get way too sore to keep praying, cutting, etc.. the rotten part out then carefully cleaning out the particles and built up calk behind that scary looking area void that is now exposed. I used work gloves and long reaching hand tools to remove the known and unknown debris, silly me, I'm too afraid of running into spiders or other creepy bugs. So far I haven't, lol. I was bound and determined to do this DIY all by myself... Well after talking too long to cut a simple 12"x3" door frame piece with a handsaw, I had my husband finish cutting that piece. Toy chargrin, a few seconds is all it took for him to cut that piece. Yep, no doubt he could have done this job in a fraction of time that it's taking me. Luckily I live in the SoCal area where our days are still quite warm out with no rain in sight. I learn a lot from these very informative videos and also glean a lot from the comments! Have a wonderful weekend everyone. 😃👋✌️

A second plunge cut an inch or two below the top cut helps with the splintering problem. The top cut needs to be nice and square so it looks good when the repair is done. The lower cut doesn't need to be precise since it is only to help avoid splintering into the remaining trim when you pry out the bad part.

Great job on a very common repair! two small tips, follow your pencil line with a razor knife scribe which will leave a sharp cut edge to follow with the multi tool. Also, when removing the piece, in an effort to eliminate pry marks against the remaining wood trim members, run two drywall screws high and low and use your claw hammer to pry the piece straight off and away. These two things are especially useful when working on highly visible trim repairs. Thanks for all your great work. Your obviously very squared away and doing great work!!

I know there are even more thorough approaches, clear up to replacing the whole pre-hung door. But this one probably has a total cost of about $12 overall. And, provided you have a multi-tool and a way to cut new cellular PVC, can really be carried out in about an hour or less. (I usually make the multi-tool cut and removal in a couple minutes). Thank you again for watching. I really appreciate your support!

Great video. One tip I think to mention as I just returned from finishing neighbors' attempt at replacing is to tape back the blub weather seal on the inside of the door towards the garage whenever cutting the side jamb out actually on any project. In nearly every project I've been called to come and "fix it", the weather seal is ripped or cut leaving an opening, especially on the entry points into their homes. Once the seal is out or needs to be replaced, it can be very difficult. Keep up the good work, Rob

Just replace all the brickmold with PVC. Home Depot sells pre cut kits for just over $30. You may have to cut to fit your exact door, but would be easier than making those plunge cuts and risk a poor cut. Then you don't have to worry about any other parts rotting out and it will all match each other. The PVC kit is also paintable to your desired color.

While I think this was a good video to show how you did the repair, I would suggest all who think about doing this there is a better, faster and easier way of doing this repair. Remove all 3 sides of brickmold. Buy a PVC brickmold kit which already has the miter cuts done. You will have to square cut to length and one miter for the top.( you can choose to reuse your top mitered piece if you dont want to miter) if you dont have a miter saw use a square and cut angle from the backside of the piece. The kit is about 25 dollars from home depot. This is a forever fix with no wood to PVC seams to fill, sand and make look like there's no seam. You dont even have to paint it if you dont want unlike wood brickmold which is only primed. It will take less time to replace all with PVC than to cut out section and repair. Besides its a much more professional and solid fix. I charge 95 dollars a door to do these and it takes about 15 minutes. Anyone can do this with 30 dollars and 30 minutes and no osscilator tool needed( unless you need a reason to go buy a new tool)

FYI, if you wanted to REALLY impress the home owner, you would have used a drill with a buffer attachment to super clean that metal threshold. You can't do that with wood jams and brickmold in the way. Then it would look SUPER pretty making the homeowner swoon over your work and give you more praise. That's not a lot of work for a nice reward.

A lot simpler to just replace all the brick mold!

EXCELLENT VIDEO - THANKS!!! Just one question: Why didn't you use PVC for the door jamb repair? You did for the brick mold but not the jamb. Seems like it is set for more rot in the future. Thanks again for an awesome video.

Never used the PVC brick mold before, or even knew it existed to be honest. Do you find it easier to shoot brads through than the pine or more difficult? Just curious

Hey Scott, this newer PVC trim is cellular--it basically seems aerated, so it's very light and takes brads just as easily as soft pine :)

Helpful tip, keep paint and caulking fresh and this shit will not rot for decades or use pvc.

Two things - 1) thanks for giving me an excuse to purchase another power tool. 2) awesome video as I thought we were going to have to replace an entire door due to it being a pre-hung entry door. Also, can you apply silicone to bottom of the replacement pieces to prevent water wicking? I watched your other video, and it's great too. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much Tom, I’m really glad it helped! The multi-tool is indispensable-feel free to check out my article on it for links and more detailed advice. Pvc trim basically won’t ever wick, but you can always seal wood end grain with siliconized acrylic latex, or even exterior adhesives. Good luck with the project!
