Replacing brick molding around a garage door can seem like a daunting task, but I was able to do it successfully.
Here are the steps from Azle Garage Door to follow:
Step 1: Gather Materials and Tools I made sure to gather all the necessary materials and tools before starting the project. This included brick molding, a hammer, a pry bar, a chisel, a nail gun, caulk, and paint.
Step 2: Remove the old brick molding I started by carefully removing the old brick molding using a pry bar and hammer. I made sure to be gentle to avoid damaging the surrounding bricks or garage door frame. Any remaining pieces or adhesive were removed using a chisel.
Step 3: Cut and fit the new brick molding Using a saw, I measured and cut the new brick molding to the correct size. I then fit the new molding into place and used a nail gun to secure it to the garage door frame. To prevent splitting the molding, I spaced the nails evenly and avoided over-nailing.
Step 4: Caulk and paint Once the new brick molding was installed, I applied a bead of caulk around the edges to fill any gaps between the molding and the surrounding bricks. I then allowed the caulk to dry completely before painting the molding to match the color of the garage door frame. I applied at least two coats of paint using a paint that is appropriate for outdoor use.
In conclusion, as per Azle Garage Door, replacing brick molding around a garage door requires some careful planning and attention to detail, but with the right tools and materials, it can be done by most do-it-yourselfers. By following these steps, I was able to successfully replace the old, worn out brick molding around my garage door and give it a fresh, new look.
