Exterior & Interior Trim Replacement in Sherwood Park, AB

If you have wood or vinyl exterior trim around your windows and doors, it can start to erode, bend out of shape and rot over time. Trim in poor condition makes your house look older and allows water to get beneath the surface and cause further damage. While bad weather and other elements eventually take their toll, you can receive maintenance or completely replace the trim so your exterior looks more attractive. Contact Handyman Connection of Edmonton for trim repair and replacement anywhere in the Sherwood Park, AB area.

Types of Exterior Trim

• Wood: The most popular material for exterior trim, it’s offered in either solid boards or finger-jointed pieces. Finger-jointed wood trim is simply shorter wood pieces that lock together. Wood trim is easy to install and accepts paint well.
• Plastic: Plastic trim comes in two forms, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyutherane is more expensive, but more dense and comes ready to paint after sanding.
• Fiber-cement: Fiber-cement combines cement, sand and wood-fiber fortification. It’s durable, fire resistant and resistant to water and insects. Most fiber-cement trim is moisture repellent, which means paint will last for years to come.
• Laminated veneer lumber: Layers of wood veneer in a parallel grain and two veneer cross bands are covered by an average density veneer to make this material.
• Hardboard: This trim is engineered from hardwood chips that are warmed with steam and water and then pushed into board stock. During this process, lignin found in wood will start to run again and work as adhesive to keep the board from separating. Lignin makes the hardboard more immune to decomposition than wood.
