Nate always does such a great job. Definitely can see why This old House had him join the team

Whoever was responsible for Nate to join the apprenticeship program back in the day, deserves a raise. This kid is a great addition to the team. He's a natural on camera, and I'm sure will hone his skills under the amazing Tom Silva.

The PVC is definitely an improvement over the typical aluminum coil

Nice job…he makes it look so easy.
That’s how you can tell he’s a professional 👍

That beginning looks like Nathan was a fellow neighbor surprising Sofia

I wish they showed how they manage the area below the door.

In new England outside PVC trim is a must, and in most cases one and done, as you get older you want all things on your home one and done, little to no maintenance required

I wish they would have shown how the bottom was put under the door. I have to do that when it gets warmer. I have an idea but would have liked to see how he handles the threshold and caulking for waterproofing.

Wow it’s amazing what a little change can do

Looks nice, need mine done. I would rather it be smooth, it would be easier to keep clean.

Cutting PVC Trim is easy, but how do you clean up the saw dust? Do you cut over a tarp or similar material so you can clean it up? Thanks
