Need advice on garage door trim repair and water damage
Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a repair issue on my house and could use some input. The metal cap around my garage door opening wasn't installed properly, and as a result there's been some water damage. A part of the wooden beam spanning the opening has rotted out. Basically this YT video is what I'm dealing with I think it wasn't installed properly because there's no part of the metal cap that goes upwards under the siding. The cap just goes straight back. It appears the only water exclusion that was done was a bead of caulk between the metal trim and siding J channel. This issue (I think at least..) is complicated by the fact that my home's sheathing doesn't have house wrap. I'm not sure how this might affect the repair process. If possible I'd like to attempt this repair myself. I'm just not sure what material I should use to replace the metal trim. If I go with metal again, do I need to undo the siding + J channel above the opening so that way I can tuck it up? If I go with PVC how to I keep the water out? Also, would y'all call someone to fix this? If so who would you call? Carpenter? General contractor? Bonus points if anyone knows someone in the Charlotte/Fort Mill area. Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/d2uvvk2gqhpe1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bc94fcd2c300c678708fe2f4b16054cfd45c520 https://preview.redd.it/rdvqnj2gqhpe1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac2a1532e5c3f9c86063b2fbe5f95863f8e5a477 https://preview.redd.it/768v8j2gqhpe1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c45388cb06372b0eda891fc8d96ae275dab1c26 https://preview.redd.it/3awwlj2gqhpe1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ba465ee707af0a775302fa1f422dc6d3c13406f https://preview.redd.it/epukal2gqhpe1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e458866a5eec10a1d32a77e220d091d71b365030 submitted by /u/Choice-Emotion9027 [link] [comments]
