Water Damage

In the Rosewood area of Lake Oswego. An old set of Andersen Wood Double-Entry Doors have sustained some water damage.

The door damage would appear to be contained within the strike-stile of the active door. Plus some damage to the Oak threshold (Inset), which we will also replace. You may be able see the damage more clearly if you enlarge the photo by clicking upon it.

So we bring out our little portable trailer/shop and go about removing the effected portion of the door.

It might be noted here that we generally frown upon most “patching.” And so it is that we go about preparing a new strip of wood that will be laminated back upon the door from the bottom of the door to the top.

The weather-stripping kerf is made, and we’re ready to attach it to the door.

Glue and fasteners with myriad clamps until the adhesive has had time to cure.

Bondo, when properly applied for the appropriate application does have its place.

Lock preps are made, the new material is prime-coated and the original weather-stripping skirt is reinstalled onto the door.

Finish painting is to be provided by others.

The repaired door is now ready to be re-installed.
