Exterior Window Trim Ideas

If you siding is lap or shingle siding, use 5/4" or 1-1/2" thick trim. Take a piece of the trim you're using and hold it against the window frame. Draw a line along the outside of the trim and cut on this line. Remove the siding pieces and install the trim directly over the window flange. Apply caulking before and after installing the new window trim. Next, you want to re-install the interior surrounds and casing. If your old ones were looking bad, now would be a great time to install new ones. It costs a little more, but it's worth it. Your brand new windows will make that old trim look even worse. Now you can paint the exterior window trim and install the screens. Enjoy your new windows!
