thanks!!! super easy to follow, answered all my questions
You are very welcome! I hope your project goes well!
Nice job. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you! and you are welcome. I’m glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing, very helpful! Using a wet cleaning wipe (disinfectant wipe) while the caulk is still wet will really clean up the caulk lines.
Great tip! I’ll try that next time!
Nice reel!
Thank you!
Is there a foam or insulation strip between the threshold and the wood adjustment strip? Great video! I’ve got two doors that have gaps under the door and I’ve felt intimidated in making these repairs.
No foam or insulation on any of the ones I’ve installed. If you’ve just got a gap issue you can also replace the seal between the bottom of the door and the threshold first. Sometimes they get worn out at cause a gap. Definitely a cheaper and easier fix. They also have extra thick ones if the gap is large.
Nice video. BTW, what type of material you used to fill that "space" in the rotted door frame? Very curious.
Thanks
I used filling putty or “bondo”. It’s very similar to the stuff they use for bodywork on cars, but they make an all purpose version. It’s a synthetic waterproof material so water and moisture don’t affect it. It sands smooth and paints great
@@BallHomeRepair Thanks....
there are many products available.
Do you recommend any particular one?
@@richardli1962 I really like Bondo all purpose putty. They sell it at Home Depot and Lowes.
@@richardli1962 I’ll try to make a video about it in the near future
Awesome video! I need some help brother. So my front door threshold was destroyed when I was replacing the subfloor of my home. It had been screwed into subfloor that had rotted away and was unable to be removed without some prying on the old subfloor. This tore up the threshold and made it useless. It needs to be replaced but I am concerned that this was a prehung door, and that this threshold is physically attached to the rest of the door frame. My stepfather believes I will need to buy a whole new prehung exterior door for several hundred dollars and rip the old door all the way out and put a new one in just for the threshold issue. This would be a lot of money and labor. So my question is, if I do have a prehung door, could I use a vibrating multitool with blade to cut the old threshold out of the frame, and then do what you have done here with no consequence? Will such a thing damage the integrity of the door frame? I assume the frame has been screwed to high heaven on the horizontal and vertical where it meets the house, so losing the base of the pre hung should not ruin the function of the door to any extent while it is all in place. What are your thoughts? "Help me Obi-One Kenobi, you're my only hope."
Most likely your original door is a pre-hung door. The one in the video is a pre-hung as well. It doesn’t destroy the integrity of the door frame to replace the threshold. Usually the sides of the door frame are notched out for the threshold that way the frame is held up by the long pieces of the frame and not just the threshold. You can absolutely use one of the vibrating saws to remove it. I hope this helps!
@@BallHomeRepair Thank you sir! That's all I needed to pull the trigger on getting started.
@@michaelflanders2876 LETS GOOOOO! Let me know how it goes!
Can I ask what you favorite brand of exterior sealant is? Ty, and great video btw!
Thank you! I like DAP products. They have performed well in the years that I have used them. I will hopefully do some videos in the near future on my favorite types of sealant.
Osi quad is the best and used by pro’s
Sick
Thank you! Glad I could help!
Ya really muffed up that wood with a bunch of holes 😂
Hey we are all just out here doing our best 😅.
That old threshold was never sealed underneath is why it came up so easy...and why didn't you replace the jamb it's rotted
It wasn’t completely rotten. I dug out the bad wood and filled, caulked, and later painted. No need to replace unless the customer wanted it that way. They did not.
Why do I need “extensive experience” to trim a wood/aluminum sill on a miter saw? Thats what the tool is designed for…..
Because I’ve seen newbies that don’t know what they are doing cut metal with a miter saw and get injured. Basically just be careful 😁
Take a shot everytime he says threshold
Please enjoy beverages AFTER completing your project 😁
For some reason, I think this is a video about a threshold. Maybe because he says threshold 500 times.
You may be on to something
Don't caulk like this guy
Yes ALWAYS caulk like an expert when possible! Just fyi the caulk here goes on white and turns clear. A great option for big gaps around masonry like in this situation. You can see what you are doing with the white color and it looks great once it dries. Hope this helps!
