How Do I Know if my Trim Needs Replacement?

The best way to inspect for trim problems is by taking a walk around your house. If you notice cracks, holes, broken, loose or decaying wood, you should call Handyman Connection of Edmonton. We’ll then figure out whether your trim can be fixed or needs to be totally replaced. If wood isn’t rotting, significantly misshapen or majorly damaged, a professional can make a few fast fixes to restore trim to good condition. In addition to outdoor trim, we can also replace interior window trims.

Exterior Trim Options

• Wood: Wood is the most common substance for external trim. It’s available in either solid boards or finger-jointed pieces. Finger-jointed wood trim is simply shorter wood pieces that fasten together. Wood trim is easy to install and takes paint well.
• Plastic: Plastic trim comes in two forms, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyutherane is slightly more expensive, but more dense and easy to paint.
• Fiber-cement: This is a combination of cement, sand and wood-fiber support. It’s tough, fire, water and bug-resistant. Additionally, fiber-cement trim is typically moisture resistant, which means paint will last for a long time.
• Laminated veneer lumber: Wood veneer layers come in a parallel grain and two veneer cross bands are sheltered by a medium thickness coating to make this material.
• Hardboard: This trim is formed from hardwood chips that are heated with steam and water and then pressed into board stock. During this process, lignin that is part of wood will become present again and work as adhesive to keep the board from separating. Lignin makes the hardboard more immune to decomposition than wood.
