Simple Exterior Window Trim Anyone Can Do

By
Real Estate Agent with Northwest Realty Group SA582523000, SP46541

If you are looking to add curb appeal to your home, this is a simple way to do so.

Frame out your windows. This is a dramatic and easy way to make your home "pop" with charm. The contrast in color really looks amazing as well.

 

Easy Window Trim

All you need are 1" x 4"s. The length you need will odviously depend on the size of your windows. Leave  about 1.5" over hang on the top and the bottom. Use a chop saw to cut the wood straight. I also recommend caulking around the window and molding. Then Paint. This will leave a clean, crisp look with no space for moisture or bugs to get into.

Wow fantastic! Let me show you a picture of a house; if you want it all you have to do is build it! Congrats! This is the most absolute waste of time post. No steps, no supplies, nadda.

I would like to do this, but something doesn't seem right. Siding is essentially like a staircase with each board overlapping the next board, what does one do with the gap one would create behind the window trim and siding? Do you caulk behind the trim? Do you ignore the gaps? Does it look funny?
