It s important to know what to do in less than ideal situations.
Drywall extends past door jamb.
It is an old house 1920 s 2 story that had 2 layers of lathe and plaster on it.
As an amazon associate i make.
So the outside edge of the trim would be on intact dw but under the bulk of the trim the dw was smashed down.
I have a homeowner who has window and exterior door jambs that extend past the drywall by about 1 1 2 inches.
For areas where the jam was slightly short he would take a razor blade and score the drywall about 1 4 in from the edge of where the trim would sit then take a hammer and punch down the dw even with the jam.
Step 2 use a 1 by 4 and cut the jamb extension.
The door frame now sticks out past the drywall about 1 4 due to the old plaster being about 3 4 thick and the now the drywall is only 1 2.
Door frame extends past drywall my issue now is trying to trim around the doors.
Measure at several spots on the doorjamb and use the largest dimension.
The ripped out the plaster and put in drywall and now all of the jambs protrude past the drywall.
