What happens here

Install the fabricated trim pieces around windows, doors, and building corners. The video demonstrates installing vertical J-channels around man-doors and horizontal J-channels above garage door openings. For corners, fit the custom bent pieces, ensuring a snug and neat appearance. Secure all trim pieces with color-matched screws, paying attention to overlap and sealing points to prevent water intrusion. This step finishes the exterior details and prepares the building for final touches.

Goal: Apply custom trim to all openings and corners for a finished and weather-tight exterior.
