I'm not kidding, I had this EXACT problem - My house was built with 2x4s and plaster over plasterboard walls. All the pre-hung doors you can buy around here are made for 2x4 and 1/2in drywall. I've had a doorway sitting in my hallway for months that looked awful because I was too scared to make my own jamb extension. I was going to have a contractor do this when I had new windows put in the house (something I just cannot do). However, this morning I saw your video and this evening I put in the extension myself. it looks amazing and didn't take me more than an hour or two (I haven't done the casing yet since I am skim coating the old plaster walls). Thanks for the motivation and instruction. You've been a huge help.

Lol my grandpa wanted me to pull it back out and cut the siding to inset it deeper in the wall. No thanks, I’m good. Not re-doing all that lol. It’s gonna be jam extensions all the way for me. Thanks for making my life a little bit easier anyway. Keep up the good work brother.

DeWalt has a fantastic fence system. It is a rack and pinion and makes the tiniest adjustments. Thank you for showing this. I do my own repairs and remodeling. I have had to make this kind of adjustment before, and I really did not know what I was doing. I did what I thought seemed logical. When I find a video on You Tube, that shows a professional tackle the same problem and I see that he does it the way I figured out, makes me feel better. Lets me know that I guessed right. Thankyou. I am 61 and back in the day of my youth, there was no You tube or internet -- period -- to go to for reference and instruction. You had to figure it out if there was no one in your life to teach you. Now, I go to You Tube first to get an idea of what to do. Saves a lot of time. Sometimes you still have to use your brain and fudge, because the same type of problem can vary in the needed solution, but You Tube gives you a starting point. Thanks to all the professionals out there that are willing to share their knowledge. Some of us just cannot afford professional services. We have to DIY or we live in a mess of a dwelling.

It seems to be working fine, I have had this one for about a year and I have used it a lot as I am remodeling the house.

1:10 to 1:30 is the best part of any video. What you just did there is the difference between actually teaching someone something or simply retaining viewers until the end to know how the mystery resolves. It has a huge effect on learning and remembering your video since we can now follow along and think for ourselves and sort of know in what direction you are going and and can therefore anticipate what is comming. On the other hand those mystery videos that only care about viewer retention and leaves everything a mystery until the end will often not teach the viewer anything since they could not follow along. Thank you!

If I have to extend jambs I like to divide the reveals between the jamb and the extension and the extension and the casing. Especially if you have another door right next to it. So if that other door that's finished has a 1/4" reveal, I would use 1/8" on the reveals of the door you are extending. This way the outside edges of the casings are the same on both doors. The eye will pick up that one casing is 1/4" taller than the other. If I'm looking down a hallway and there are multiple doors and the casings are all different heights it stands out like a sore thumb. The walls will usually be a different color than the trim, or at the very least a different finish, and the doors, jambs, jamb extensions and casings will likely all be the same color and finish. The consistency of the reveals is moot by comparison to the consistency of the height of the casings.

I've done several of these types of repairs but I've always butt jointed the extension piece to the frame because I didn't like look of the the double reveal. I found that if you use wood glue and fasten it to the frame with a lot of brad/finish nails (every 6-8"), the two pieces of wood will expand and contract as a single piece of wood. You need to also use Durham's Rock Hard wood putty over the seam and sand. Two coats of LATEX paint will prevent cracking. The corner seams of my casings crack before this seam. But if you don't want to do all this work, the double reveal is your best bet. Thanks for the great vid tutorial!

You mentioned the trick of cutting out some of the drywall to make the trim straight. On a couple of the walls that were installed by the drunk guy in my bedroom remodeling I did exactly that. The wall was slightly bowed, not enough to notice (after I spent several hours adding mud to flatten it), but definitely noticeable when adding the trim. So I cut out a notch about a foot long so the trim would lay flat. I will have to do the same thing in the hallway where the wall is REALLY screwed up. The new drywall that was added was up to an inch out of alignment at the top from the original drywall and took many coats of mud to tapper it to look flat. When I go to add the new trim I will have to cut a notch in the original drywall so the trim will go on straight.

Every time you fire a nail, use a mitre saw or a table saw without ear protection you're damaging your hearing. Imagine standing next to an airport and watching a 747 taxiing to the runway and then imagine what that sound is like 24 hours a day. It's called tinnitus and it can consume your life. They actually use that as a sound effect in movies these days when someone is blown off their feet by an explosion. They muffle the sound and introduce a high pitched squeal to the sound track. That's what I hear all day, every day.

Most doors (frankly all doors at home improvement centers) are sold for 2x4 construction. I find that a lot of people don't know that you CAN get door jambs for 2x6 doors. Also, making custom jambs is not hard at all. I bought composite jambs for my exterior doors and made jambs out of 3/4 poplar for my interior doors. I ripped them down to the exact width I needed.

Custom door jambs are not easy for most people. Many carpenters won't touch that. I do make custom jambs to pre hang "loner" doors but I use door hinge jigs and a router and it is fairly precision work and for varnish grade requires really stable wood. At least to get a really precise pre hung door. There are some old school ways too with a hinge stamp but it is time consuming. The Vix bit becomes very handy too! Do we all know the vix?

The counter sunk screws were covered with wood filler, then painted.

I'll typically just build my own jamb if they are not standard size. Unless there are multiple, then I'll have them made to size. I can't stand the double reveal.

I had a similar problem only my piece ran 1/2 down the door: 3/4 in. at top down to a point. I just marked that on a spare piece of board, cut it by hand with a 5 in. blade circular saw, then glued the wedge flush with the existing jamb. Then installed casing as usual. Then used wood putty to clean up any imperfections in my wedge piece.

Chalk your taper line, take the fence off your table saw, then rip it. Watch the line. Keep it straight.

free hand it with a table saw, or use a track saw or plywood sled with circ saw with fine finishing blade with a wider board. mark your cut and cut. Can hand plane any high spots after so better to be a bit big than too small.

Older homes had thicker walls. The lath/plaster accounted for about an extra inch of all thickness, making older walls 5-1/2” versus 4-1/2” for most modern homes.

@@markhoffman Regardless of thickness of wall, couldn’t the width of jamb be properly measured? Example of my thinking; if tha jam has a width of 3 inches and there’s an inch gap on both sides jamb, why wouldn’t the original installer use a 5 inch width jamb to accommodate the drywall size they used back then?

Nice job. I like to hold the extension jamb and the casing on the same plane so there is only the one reveal. Especially when everything is painted because with a nice smoothed bead of quality paintable caulk everything appears seamless and the assembly seems to have no extension jamb just thicker casing. Good video though to show this method of installing an extension jamb.

That was a fairly wide build out. Most of the time, I encounter maybe 1/2” at most. But it looked pretty good man! Keep that tool pouch on! I was always told that using a reveal makes a carpenter look better than he actually is! 😆 When you butt joint the casing to those extensions, it creates an optical illusion to where it will NEVER look right. It won’t ever look even and the inconsistencies will pop out like a sore thumb!

I wish I would have seen this video about 3 weeks ago. I just did trim replacements for my MBR closets, and it was a nightmare. All I had was a hand miter box, hammer, and nails. My wife's closet door casing has so much gap in it I had to angle the nails...and eventually trim screws, (I completely suck with a hammer) so they were driving into the 2x4 structural studs, or I'd wiff the casing right into air. I even managed to cut the damn miter for one of the pieces wrong, so I had to redo that too, lol. Once I got everything wood filled, and painted it looks much nicer than I thought it would be. I think I'll be saving up for a decent brad nailer to make my life easier. Turns out you have to be good at things if you plan on using hand tools, and I'm not. LOL.
