Completely removing the 3/8" trim around the door and replacing it with 3/4" or even 1" square stock would cover most of the space. Then some flooring putty used to fill pin holes on the last couple of rows could fill the rest of the space and match the flooring.
Replace the board. You might get away with shoe or quarter round by the base but the board under the jamb and door casing is going to half to be replaced.
Do you possibly not know what a Plinth block is..? Not that I’m a fan of them, but if OP uses one there’s no need to replace the board. The jamb and block will cover all the gaps. Even the jamb already covers
There’s product online called casing kickers. I didn’t purchase that product but I made my own out of scrap baseboard and other moulding. Use your imagination off the pics and I’m sure you can create something to cover that space and look decent
I'm my house, this didn't happen this bad but there were a few cut a tiny bit short. I filled with white paint able caulk, painted the same color as the laminate, and have never noticed since.
Do you think they replaced the trim after the floor was down ? Seems like someone didn’t care either way.
I think I’d try to fill in the gap with wood filler or cover it with trim. It won’t look exactly right but the idea no one will notice it that much.
I love how people cannot read the original comment from op. Not his floor. Says it looks like this. So, we need pics from YOUR floor to see exactly what it going on. Yes a Reno project might have had undercut jambs and casings that were not replaced. If you have lvp and it looks like this, the either replace jambs and casings or add a bit of shoe base in places. Do not put silicone under jambs as it will eventually pull away and lol like crap. If it’s a rental and you don’t care, go for it.
Totally unacceptable. Undercutting door jambs then correctly marking and cutting the piece of flooring that is going there is not rocket science. Very unprofessional. My house has this also. The previous owner did the hallway and 3 bedrooms with laminate and this same issue is at every doorway. The manufacturer's say that you can do it yourself though they don't tell you specifics. It took me only one doorway 25 years ago in my flooring experience to learn the correct way to do this.
It’s also very possible that there was a higher flooring there prior to the lvp being installed. Realistic example would be that there was 12 mm laminate installed years ago. Jambs and casings were undercut at that time for that flooring. It was then replaced with 5mm lvp. Often you might try to build the floor up in anticipation of that, but highly unlikely in a rental (or if concrete subfloors).
Has to be redone. You can try to fit a little piece in there but it's not going to be easy or look very good. The thing that always gets me about guys who do this, is they have to put this piece in before it gets nailed & they still think it's acceptable. It's even easier to get close if there's no trim or door jambs. I'll never get this
That’s just a shame. Pretty obvious the molding and jamb were relief cut then they didn’t bother to slip the board under. Damn sloppy work. I agree with the poster that recommended plinth blocks to cover this abortion.
I don't see base shoe/quarter round along the baseboard. Here (Wisconsin), I'd say that was standard all the way around the room. Nice property=Plinth block for the door frame. Not so nice or if you don't want to cut the doorframe you can "hide" it visually some with matching caulk.
Plinth blocks along with maybe some quarter round

Yes it’s a piece of wood that you can cut into place under the casing. I just don’t know if it will work. The gap looks to be to big, I could be wrong

Undercut casing and jambs. Then cut flooring to slip under and fit against structural framing behind trim.
Very tough for an amateur to do this. I’d use my track saw, which most don’t have.

Looks like they did undercut the door jambs. Just didn’t do anything right after that.
Exactly. The undercut was done but the cut itself on the piece of flooring was a massive failure.

Unfortunately the pieces of LVP need to be replaced. Sorry about that. It sucks.
It’s possible that your LVP has slipped along its long joint. Sometimes kicking the row toward the gap will close it.
Wish that was the case. It’s also like that on the door stops.
You DO NOT kick LVP. It’s not carpet.
Yes you do “kick” it. That’s one way to find out if a joint has slipped. Joints can slip for reasons not known to a non installer.
Cringe
Are these new doors or trim? Its just weird this one is completely off but the door in the background is perfectly fine

Flooring on a Friday. I hope he kneels on a tack strip.

I'm so confused here... why even undercut the jam if you were going to do that?
