I'm looking to replace my exterior basement door that's rotted due to hurricane and flood damage. I've done some home projects like electrical work and drywalling, but I've never replaced a door before. I've watched quite a few tutorial videos and feel mostly prepared, but I would love to get some advice or tips before diving in. I'm hoping to tackle this in one day, starting in the morning. Any suggestions would really help!

Definitely consider ordering a pre-hung door; it'll save you some hassle. Make sure you have all your materials ready before starting—things like spray foam insulation, door casing, shims, and caulking. Also, don't forget to use a level to ensure everything is plumb!
