Exterior Trim and Corner Boards

Crisp trim around windows, doors, corners and rooflines in rot-resistant materials that frame the house cleanly.

Trim does for a house what a frame does for a picture. Corner boards, window casings, door surrounds, frieze boards and rake trim define the shape of the house, and crisp, well-chosen trim makes even simple siding look custom. It also does an important job: trim sits at the weakest points of the wall, around openings and at corners, and it needs to shed water and stay sealed.

We choose trim materials that resist rot and last, such as cellular PVC, fiber cement and composite boards, and use wood where the style calls for it. We cut mitered and butt joints cleanly, back prime where it is needed, use the right fasteners and flash the heads of windows and doors. Caulk goes where it should, and we leave open joints that need to drain. Trim sized and detailed to suit the house adds depth and quality to the whole exterior.

Rot-resistant choices

PVC, fiber cement and composite trim last far longer than bare wood in damp Tennessee conditions.

Sized to fit the house

We discuss board widths and profiles so the trim feels right for the style and the scale of the home.

Flashed at the head

Windows and doors get proper head flashing before trim goes on, which keeps water out of the wall.

Sealed and finished

Joints are caulked, nail holes filled and the finish applied to match your siding and roof.

Questions

Trim and Corner Boards FAQ

What trim material lasts longest?

Cellular PVC and fiber cement resist rot and insects very well. Quality composite boards also hold up.

Can I keep my existing trim?

Often yes, if it is sound. We repair and refinish what is good and replace what is not.

How wide should corner boards be?

Common sizes range from narrow modern profiles to wide traditional boards. We show options on your house.

Should trim be white?

White is classic, but dark trim and matching trim are popular. We help you test colors.

Does trim need caulk?

Select joints do. Caulk keeps water out but should not seal areas meant to drain.
