        "text": "Repairing just the damaged jamb is faster and preserves the surrounding interior trim and wall finishes. Replacing the entire pre-hung door unit provides a completely square opening, fresh weatherstripping, and brand-new hardware, but it requires removing casing, cutting back drywall, and repainting. If your door slab is custom or in good condition, piecing in a jamb repair saves money. If the frame is out of plumb or rotted on multiple sides, a full pre-hung replacement is more reliable.",
