What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to replacing old, damaged window trim. Before starting the removal process, gather the necessary tools: a hammer and a simple pry bar for detaching the trim. If there is existing caulking around the trim, it is crucial to score it first with a utility knife to prevent damaging the siding when the trim is pulled away. The video demonstrates scoring around the edges of the window trim.

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

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Aiding in prying and bending nails
  • Pry Bar — Removing the old window trim by getting under nails
  • Utility Knife — Scoring existing caulk around the window trim
  • Existing Caulk — To be scored and removed with the old trim

What they say

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. So, when using your pry bar to remove this trim, just drive your pry bar in wherever you see the nails and get it underneath those nails and makes it a lot easier to remove. So, we've got some caulking on the side here. We're going to score the caulking first.
