Signs You Need Trim Replacement

As you walk around your home, check for any cracks, holes, broken, loose or rotting wood. This will help you determine whether simple repairs can be made, if you need to replace separate sections or need to replace all the exterior trim around the home’s doors and windows. If wood isn’t rotting, excessively deformed or majorly damaged, a qualified contractor can make a few fast fixes to restore trim to perfect shape.

Choices for Exterior Trim

We provide many options for exterior trim. Here are some:

• Wood: Wood is the most popular substance for outdoor trim. Wood is available in either whole boards or finger-jointed sections. Finger-jointed wood trim is simply shorter wood pieces that lock together. It’s easy to install wood trim and holds paint well.
• Plastic: Plastic trim comes in two forms, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).Polyurethane is somewhat more expensive, but slightly denser and ready to paint. PVC needs to be sanded prior to painting.
• Fiber-cement: Fiber-cement combines cement, sand and wood-fiber support. It’s durable, fire retardant and resistant to water and bugs. Fiber-cement trim is typically moisture repellent, which means paint will stick around for a long time.
• Laminated veneer lumber: Layers of wood veneer in a parallel granule and two veneer cross bands are covered by an average density coating to make this substance.
• Hardboard: Hardboard external trim is formed from hardwood chips that are warmed with steam and water and then pushed into board stock. During pressing, lignin, found in wood, will become present again and serve as paste to hold the board from separating. This makes the hardboard more resistant to decomposition than wood.
