How To Extend Bottom of Door And Trim After Multiple Layers of Flooring Have Been Removed
The video is about how to fix the door, door jamb, and door trim after multiple layers of flooring have been removed. This often happens in new construction, where the door, door jamb, and trim are all cut to fit the original flooring. However, when additional layers of flooring are added, the door and trim may no longer fit properly.
There are a few different ways to fix this problem. One way is to remove all of the affected trim and replace it with new trim that is the correct size. Another way is to lower the door and door jamb. This can be done by cutting around the perimeter of the door and removing it from the jamb. The door can then be lowered and the new trim can be installed.
A third way to fix the problem is to fill in the gaps between the door and the floor with wood. This can be done by cutting a board that is the same size as the gap and attaching it to the door jamb. The gap can then be filled with caulk or sealant.
Finally, you can also install a door bottom extender. This is a piece of metal that attaches to the bottom of the door and extends it to the floor.
Here are some additional tips for fixing the door, door jamb, and door trim after multiple layers of flooring have been removed:
Be careful when removing the trim, as it can damage the wall.
If you are lowering the door, make sure that it is still level.
You may need to use a filler or spackle to fill in any gaps between the wood and the trim.
Be creative and consider using a combination of these methods.
Bonus Tips:
If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you can hire a professional to do it for you.
Make sure that you have all of the necessary tools and materials before you start.
Take your time and do a good job.
I hope these tips help you fix your door, door jamb, and door trim.
