The job
A doorway whose jamb and casing had split away from the wall, with loose trim pieces leaning against it, was put back into one clean opening.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The splintered casing and the loose trim were removed.
- The frame was straightened and fixed back to the wall.
- New white casing was cut and fitted around the opening.
- The finished opening sits flush with the gray wall, with no gaps along the trim.
Door frames usually split at the hinge or strike side after a forced or slammed door; replacing the trim alone would hide the damage without fixing it.
