Reattach the casing, set all finish nails below the surface, fill fastener holes, and apply a flexible paintable caulk along joints before final paint. If you uncover decayed framing studs or the door refuses to latch plumb, call Abraham Becerra at HH Remodeling LLC at 303-505-0866 for dependable repair support.",
