Contractor/Handyman needed

[wagner]

So the high winds were nice enough to blow my storm door open today. It blew open with such force it has damaged the doorjam where the storm door mounts. I am guessing that either the jam will need replaced (if possible) or the entire entry door will need replaced.

 

I have no idea how to fix or the ability to in a way that won't make the problem worse.

 

Need some recomendations for a quality person to come fix this issue.

Pull off the door, fix wood with bondo, sand to match, paint and reattach with longer screws. Of course that depends on how bad it is.

Does wood bondo have the ability to fix somethign that the closer and jam bracket mount to? It cracked the top mount pretty good, I just want to be sure this would fix the issue.

 

If I can get away with just getting a new storm door I am good with that.

 

If I had the tools and ability I would try this:
