Finish Carpentry Advice To Help You

One common problem when applying casing to a door or window is the jamb does not come out flush with the sheetrock of the interior wall. This is particully true on outside doors or garage doors. One way to remedy this is to take your hammer and hammer down or crunch the sheetrock down next to the jamb. Be careful as to not damage the steetrock out past what your trim will cover. If you do, it can be fixed with a little spackle or sheetrock mud but try to avoid this. The idea here is to get the casing as flat against the wall as possible so it is not tipped in to the jamb. The more it is tipped the harder it is to get nice mitered corners.
