What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to replacing old, damaged window trim. The first step involves assessing the existing trim and preparing for its removal. This includes having essential tools like a hammer and a pry bar ready. If there is existing caulking around the trim, it will need to be scored with a utility knife before attempting to remove the trim to prevent damage to the siding.

Goal: Prepare the work area and tools for removing damaged window trim.

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Prying and tapping to remove old trim
  • Pry Bar — Leveraging and separating old trim pieces from the siding
  • Utility Knife — Scoring old caulking around the trim

Hi, my name's Brooke and I work in the offices of the Idaho Painter and today we're going to be doing something a little bit unconventional, but every once in a while you'll have a customer that asks you to do something a little bit different. So, we're going to be taking this old damaged window trim and replacing it with something new. Okay, we're going to start removing the trim on this window. We got two windows right here I'm going to replacing the trim on. I'm going to be using just a hammer and a simple pry bar to begin removing this trim. If it's got caulking around it, you'll want to score the caulking first before you start removing it. So, here we go.
