If your exterior door molding has seen better days, before moisture or termite damage, then it's definitely time to replace it. Taking off the old molding is a more delicate procedure than putting on the new. You want to be very careful not to gouge the jamb or damage the siding. Even placing a shim between the jamb and the pry bar can cause an indentation. So it's best to come in from the siding side. Use a flat pry bar and start where there is rot, if any. This will give you access without having to lean against the siding. If there is no rot, place the pry bar under or just at the edge of the molding on the siding side. You may have to hit it with a hammer to get it under the molding. Then place a block of wood between the pry bar and your siding. Use the leverage of the wood to push the molding up. Once you have a section up, you can usually stay in the area where the new trim will hide and marks made by the pry bar. Remove all the trim and clean the area well. If it is wet, you should let it dry before installing new trim or the new trim will rot out quickly from the moisture. more »
