No, just a will to learn, and a bunch of patience. Have you Googled yet or watched any utube videos?
It takes some skill to rehang a door in a jam, that is why they sell the jams with the doors installed already, its easier. There are lots of videos on YouTube, since you didn't state if its an interior or exterior door or what the problem is.... I'm giving you general link.... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+replace+a+door+jamb
wd40( it’s a slick oil spray) shaving your door down to fit in conjunction with the hardware.
There are really no special skills needed to install a door jamb. Your level will be your new best friend. Don't forget to purchase some shims when you purchase your lumber. Wishing you well.
Best done by a good handyman or with the guidance of a framing carpenter. If the door is in a weight-bearing wall, it's definitely a job for a pro!
so sorry--I get my words mixed up sometimes and was thinking of the door frame. The jamb will need some tweaking with shims and 2" screws, so go to a website or read a DIY book on the topic.
Yep shims, a level and I would use a cordless drill and screw it into the framing, if it’s paint grade, so if you don’t install it plumb and square , you can back out the screws and move it.
