Well, we hired a carpenter to install several interior pine doors...and he really botched it. The doors are hung visibly crooked :( Is there a way to remove the jams without destroying them...so we can re-hang it correctly?
Very slowly, using putty knives. Use thin, flexible ones to break through paint (if any) and slide under the wood. Use thick, rigid ones to slide under a pry gently. Leave the skinny ones in place to protect the wood from the thicker tool. As you establish gaps, slide in pieces of thin dowel. Continue with a thin pry tool, available at any decent hardware store. Plan on doing a little spackle work. A few dents in the wood are inevitable.
Have your favorite scotch available, and keep children away, in case you invent new obscenities.
It is much more work to fix a crooked jamb than to install them originally. If you hired a carpenter to install them originally, why take on the work to fix it, make him fix them.
