A window and door jamb adjustment system for accurately installing windows and doors and providing for later adjustment of the same. The window and door jamb adjustment system includes a support member attachable to a building frame, an alignment member slidably attached to the support member and attachable to an extension jamb, a door or window, and a threaded shaft attached to the support member and threadably engaging the alignment member. As the threaded shaft is rotated, the rotational motion is converted to linear motion of the alignment member. As the alignment member is moved with respect to the support member, the extension jamb, a door or window, is correspondingly moved inwardly or outwardly for proper alignment with plasterboard.

We claim: 1. A window and door jamb adjustment apparatus for installing and adjusting a position of an extension jamb of a window or door, comprising: a support member attachable to a building frame; an alignment member slidably attached to said support member and attachable to an extension jamb, a door or window; and a threaded shaft rotatably attached to said support member and threadably engaging said alignment member, wherein the rotary motion of said threaded shaft is converted to linear motion of said alignment member; and a first guide and a second guide attached to said support member that slidably receive said alignment member; wherein said first guide and said second guide are substantially flush with respect to an outer surface of said alignment member. 2. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said support member is comprised of a first segment and a second segment extending substantially orthogonally from said first segment. 3. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first segment is substantially longer than said second segment. 4. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said second segment is less than two-inches in length. 5. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first segment and said second segment form an L-shaped structure. 6. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first segment is substantially straight. 7. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first segment is substantially flat. 8. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said second segment includes at least one support aperture. 9. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 2, wherein said first segment is substantially parallel to said alignment member. 10. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first guide and said second guide are in opposition to one another. 11. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first guide and said second guide each have an inwardly tapered distal portion. 12. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said alignment member includes a plurality of alignment slots that receive a portion of the threading of said threaded shaft thereby forming teeth between thereof. 13. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said alignment member includes a plurality of teeth that engage a threading of said threaded shaft. 14. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, wherein said threaded shaft includes an engaging head that allows for the manipulation of said threaded shaft by a tool. 15. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 1, including a brace attached to said support member for rotatably receiving said threaded shaft. 16. The window and door jamb adjustment apparatus of claim 15, wherein said brace prevents said threaded shaft from moving linearly. 17. A window and door jamb adjustment apparatus for installing and adjusting a position of an extension jamb of a window or door, comprising: a support member attachable to a building frame, wherein said support member is comprised of a first segment and a second segment extending substantially orthogonally from said first segment forming an L-shaped structure; wherein said first segment is substantially longer than said second segment, wherein said first segment is substantially straight and substantially flat; wherein said second segment includes at least one support aperture for receiving a fastener; an alignment member slidably attached to said support member and attachable to an extension jamb, a door or window, wherein said alignment member includes a plurality of alignment slots that receive a portion of a threading of a threaded shaft thereby forming teeth between thereof; wherein said first segment is substantially parallel to said alignment member; a first guide and a second guide attached to said support member that slidably receive said alignment member, wherein said first guide and said second guide are in opposition to one another, wherein said first guide and said second guide each have an inwardly tapered distal portion, and wherein said first guide and said second guide are substantially flush with respect to an outer surface of said alignment member; a threaded shaft rotatably attached to said support member and threadably engaging said alignment member, wherein the rotary motion of said threaded shaft is converted to linear motion of said alignment member, and wherein said threaded shaft includes an engaging head that allows for the manipulation of said threaded shaft by a tool; and a brace attached to said support member for rotatably receiving said threaded shaft, wherein said brace prevents said threaded shaft from moving linearly while allowing said threaded shaft to freely rotate.
