Mattis Front Entry Door

Many folks have rot concealed within the walls. A good indication is peeling paint and or soft wood in general. In this case, Mr. Mattis was fully aware of the rot around his front door and felt it was time to take care of the issue. With this front entry door the rot was extensive and rampant. All resulting in poor flashing applied at the very top of the detailed head trim of the door and an overall trim detail done in a marginal fashion. I found many nails that were directly nail on the surface of the upper flashing which only helped in getting water down into the door. Also the head trim detail had many pieces put together which allowed more water penetration. I've decided to have detailed photos of this project to give an idea of had bad it can get when installations are done poorly. As for the materials used, I'll be installing Fypon Trim and a Therma-Tru exterior door both provided by Harvey Industries
