The job
An exterior door with a glass-panel top had a rotted, peeling lower half. The after photo shows a new white door with a half window, in fresh white trim.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The damaged door came off its hinges.
- The opening was checked for square and for damage to the frame.
- The new door was hung and fitted in the frame.
- The trim was finished in white around it.
Rot at the bottom of an exterior door usually starts where water sits on the threshold; a good sweep and sealed edges keep the new door from going the same way.
