I've watched this video and your baseboard video. I like that you show some problem solving during the video. Also, you only talk about what needs to be talked about. . . without giving your whole life story and I appreciate that.
I had the same issue but solved it a different way. I sprayed door and window expanding foam. It will expand and look bubbly and flowing. Don't panic, let it fully cure. Then take a utility knife and trim it to match the door jam profile. Sand it if needed to fine tune. Then put a coat of joint compound on to seal the poures. Let that dry and sand smooth. Prime and paint.
I thought of using joint compound but I don't think it'll hold up to bring kicked here and there and the vacuum banging up against it. I was actually thinking of wood filler. The spray foam is a good idea for having a base to work with though
When I used the mini wax wood filler the smell was so strong it smelled up my whole house for about 3 days. It was kinda cold out but I had to open all my windows and turn the fan on. I asked one of the workers at Lowe's if there was something different I could use as I still had a lot of deep scratches in all the woodwork to fill in and other places also he recommended Spackling. My goodness, what a difference. There was no smell, it was so much easier to work with and dried 3 times faster and covered with paint a whole lot easier. I use the spackling for all my wood fill in's now and have not had it come out. I highly recommend the spackling for wood fill in's. I also used it at my daughters house to fill in holes in her sheet rock and it worked so much better than trying to use joint compound. I bet it can be used on just about any kind of fill in that you need to fill.
Thank you so much! Yes removed it so that I can thin it out because it’s too thick. You cna technically just shave it from the front but it will mess with the curved profile on the sides. Either way you can go either route for you can round the edges with the wood filler 🙏🏽😊
nice job, my only advice to anyone doing this is to take a few minutes and sand and prime the pieces of wood before nailing, its much easier in hand than to prep and prime when it`s tight to the flooring.
I normally cut jamb to allow at least a 5" piece so it doesn't blow out and Bondo to contour and finish - keeping 1/16" off the finished flooring to allow for movement. Otherwise great job - keep up the good fight!! 🤠👍
should have just used the wood filler to fill in the nail holes. Don't use caulking it will shrink. I have a couple of these to do but no extra door frame like you had...
I don't get why so much timber was cut from the door frame to lay the floor. If you use a multi-tool cutter, you can trim door frames so that flooring can slip under frames & no need for infilling afterwards. Much neater & cheaper finish too!
Hi! The previous owner of the house had 3/4” hardwood floors installed. Then they had 1/4” plywood with tile and vinyl sheet flooring on the bathroom side. When I ripped it all off and install the LVP, it left this huge gap.
If you can SEE it or FEEL it, it's either not filled enough or sanded enough, and it WILL be seen; especially by fellow carpenters. My work partner and I walk into rooms and inevitably find all the things that could have used a bit more OCD by the guy/guys before us.
From your comment I'm getting the feeling that we had the same thought. Get idea....poor execution. When I saw the final product, minus a few more coats of paint, I had verbally said "ouch".
Sorry, but the new floor looks the same attractiveness as the old one... Not sure why people are installing plastic fake wood look flooring these days...
Dude it looks like garbage. I don’t know if you filmed this just for the concept, but take your time and do better. Fill the cracks/nail holes proud and sand it to blend and finish smooth. You shouldn’t be able to notice the repair. If you’re taking the time to teach, teach correctly.
spackling could be spread over it all and tapered smooth with rest of trim and you would see any seams of nail holes and it paits excellent and dries fast.
The idea is solid, but your finish work is sloppy............Not to mention, why would you record a video when you don't have all the tools for the job ---- paint brush. Just saying.

What type of joint compound
I thought of using joint compound but I don't think it'll hold up to bring kicked here and there and the vacuum banging up against it. I was actually thinking of wood filler. The spray foam is a good idea for having a base to work with though
Spray foam would be too flexible to prevent things from crumbling or cracking.
That’s ghetto as hell 🤮

You can also use a pin nailer to lessen the chance of splitting the piece. Excellent job overall

I have used bondo for things like that also, works well and sands easy.
Awesome job, i think i might have a bigger opening than you after we redid the floors, so i may have to rethink the sizing to do the jams. Thanks
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Another nice job. However, curious why you removed the notch 2:11? Even more so, considering you then had to 'add' one of sorts.

Thank you someone messed my door jams up it looks horrible again thank you!
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Well done. Never completely thrown away left over wood.
Thank you think is very helpful.

Subscribed on the back of this
Do you do the same thing to the door trim?
Thanks for sharing- I’m about to do a few jambs myself after a whole floor demo and LVP install. Nice job
Thank you 🙏🏽! And happy renovating! LVP is fun to install once you get it going!
The door was on the convenient side of the jam, what if it’s not? Reframe and drop door?
Never thought of doing it like that. You proved that it can be done. Good attention to detail.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful 👍🏻
👏👏👏. Thanks! Great explanations
Thank you so much!
How much would you charge for this service?
what if you don't have the molding to use to fill in what would you use.
Just buy some from the store
Good vid. Thanks
Will this work with a metal frame?
Casing?
Ever had gap smaller than that?
I have, I will have a video on that as well, please stay tuned l.
@@FixThisHouse I seen one where this person put poly foam caulk saver in the crease and then applied plastic wood.
Is that by any means good?

Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦👍🏿
♦️ if you know
Bopndo makes a household product that is stronger than wood filler--but is harder to sand.
Outstanding. I hired a so-called "licensed contractor" to put in my floor and he had no idea how to do this. He suggested fill it in with silicone. 😤

I hate my pancake compressor. The noise is horrible.
My new construction builder did this and it looks unfinished. They are now replacing the casing & jam entirely.
Don't get that brand, get the 20v Dewalt brand, you can't beat it. It's also easier to change blades by only pressing a lever.
I didn't catch which tools and brands
Hi! I left all the tools I used on the bottom description area of the video. Please just click on the links on which tools you need. 🙏🏽😊
In the old days a shim would be a piece cardboard or paper ... lol.
