Never rot door jambs/brick molding

[PoleHolder]

Tired of painting that crappy finger jointed pine that comes on pre-hung exterior doors? I just finished rehanging my second exterior door with this stuff and it is great. It requires a bit of time and it helps to have a power mitre saw and router, but it is well worth it. Cost is around $75 a door (jamb kit and brick molding). It can be painted, but white works for me and I never have to paint it again. The 7" planking even works well for a threshold in the right circumstance. Just thought I would pass it along, I am very happy with the results.

Sounds like just what I need! Is Never Rot the brand name? Is it vinyl or what material? Where didja get it?

It is available at Home Depot and Menards, Menards price is a bit better. Menards selection seemed a little bigger as well, but the Home Depot here is a smaller store. If you have an existing door jamb, you can use that as a template to mortise your hinges. I used a router, but the instructions say you can also do it the old fashioned way with hammer and sharp wood chisel. I fastened with premium deck screws, countersunk and filled with good caulk. I did not bother with the brick mold "kit", just bought the lengths I needed and mitred myself. You will also need some shim material for squaring up the jamb. Hope this helps, good luck.
