Remove Existing Window Trim

modernize our house if you will so to remove the existing trim uh the majority of time they're being held with Brad nails and silicone completely around it so we're going to use a utility knife or a box cutter knife and cut the bead of silicone both on the inside part of the window casing and the outside part of the trim this will make it a lot easier to remove that trim and not damage any drywall once you got all the call cut around the perimeter of the trim you're now safe to remove that trim you'll need three basic tools a nice stiff utility knife a 15-in utility pry bar and a hammer and the way I like to do it is use the corner of the utility knife drive it in behind the uh trim piece and then once you get it there wiggle it back and forth create some space Drive the utility pry bar behind it and then use both the utility knife and the pry bar kind of simultaneously behind one another to pry small increments of the trim piece off the back of the wall until the entire piece is removed you'll be surprised that you'll damage far less Drive wall and you'll be actually be able to remove the entire trim piece at once without it breaking once you remove
