Handyman /Carpenter recommendation - doorway water damage
Hi folks:
Got Carpenter ants like you read about at one of my doorways! Looks like I may have invisible water damage at that doorway. Does anyone have a handyman/carpenter that can pull the door jambs and trim-work to see where this water is getting-in? Since home improvement work has skyrocketed I am hopeful that there are still some folks out there willing to do smaller jobs.... |

I have a similar issue with a storage shed in a condo complex where I own.
The building actually contains several storage units/closets that are all tied together structurally, but separated by individual doors. I own one of the units. Each unit/closet is about 4' by 8'. I digress from the original topic..... the door frame/casing has 'water' damage/rot from the ground up about 3"-4", on each side of the frame. Just a FYI, the door frame sits on concrete. Thinking the most cost-effective, rather than ripping or cutting out the 'casing', that maybe that the repair can be made with a 'Bondo' type patching material ? I am nowhere near the condo (winter condo), and cannot repair myself, so most likely will have to hire someone to repair in my absence. Thoughts about using 'Bondo' for fix ? Thanks ! |
