Crown Molding Services for Charles Town, WV

The trim surrounding the outside of your house, whether it’s made of vinyl or wood, suffers damage. Trim in bad shape does not only look ugly, but it can allow water to get underneath and cause more damage. While bad weather and other elements will inevitably cause damage, you can make repairs and replace trim, so your exterior looks more attractive and is protected. Contact Handyman Connection of Winchester for trim repair and replacement.

Signs You Need Trim Replacement

As you walk around your home, inspect for any cracks, holes, broken or loose decaying trim. Checking for this helps decide whether you can repair the wood, if you need to replace separate sections or need to replace all the exterior trim around the home’s doors and windows. If wood isn’t rotting, extremely distorted or badly damaged, a professional can make a few expedited repairs to restore trim to pristine condition.

Exterior Trim Options

At Handyman Connection, we provide various trim options for our clients. Here are some:

  • Wood: Wood is the most common substance for outdoor trim. Wood is available in either whole boards or finger-jointed sections. Finger-jointed wood trim is simply shorter wood pieces that fasten together. Wood trim is easy to install and accepts paint well.
  • Plastic: Plastic trim comes in two forms, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyurethane is somewhat pricier, but slightly denser and ready to paint. PVC should be sanded before it can be painted.
  • Fiber-cement: This is a combination of cement, sand and wood-fiber fortification. It’s tough, fire resistant and resistant to water and bugs. Fiber-cement trim is typically moisture resistant, which means paint will last for years to come.
  • Laminated veneer lumber: Wood veneer layers come in a parallel granule and two veneer cross brands are sheltered by a medium thickness overlay to engineer this substance.
  • Hardboard: Hardboard exterior trim is made from hardwood chips that are heated with steam and water and then pushed into board stock. During pressing, lignin, that is part of wood, will begin to run again and work as paste to hold the board from separating. Lignin makes the hardboard more immune to rot than wood.
