Install Final Trim & Clean Up
At 15:43 in
Installing Cedar Siding Is Easier Than you Think
What happens here
Install the final trim pieces around all exposed edges, corners, and transitions of the siding. This includes the soffit and fascia, which are painted black to integrate with the roof. For wider spans, such as above large windows (e.g., an 8-inch gap), consider using wider, custom-cut boards or multiple boards to create a seamless and clean look, rather than multiple narrow strips. These trim pieces are designed to conceal all exposed siding ends, nail holes, and provide a polished, weatherproof finish. Once all trim is installed, thoroughly clean the construction site, removing all debris and sawdust.
Goal: Complete the aesthetic and weatherproof elements of the siding installation.
