EASIEST WAY TO CUT OFF DOOR JAMBS FOR NEW FLOORING INSTALL!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

To ensure an accurate cut, take a scrap piece of the exact flooring material you are installing and place it directly against the door jamb. This piece will serve as a precise guide, defining the height and depth at which the door jamb needs to be cut so that the new flooring can slide neatly underneath.

Goal: Establish the exact cutting line on the door jamb.

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
