Exterior Trim - Skill Level (Hard)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this clip I remove the existing storm door and door trim. I install new jambs, head feature and casing (w/ fluted trim and plinth blocks). Then I fill and caulk the trim so its ready for the homeowner to paint. After the painting is completed I return and install the existing storm door to wrap up the job.
Video where I detail the head feature trim work:

Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy the job - Хобби
It looked so much better white.
A pleasure to watch you work; reminded me of watching my father. BUT, that work deserved a new, matching storm door!
Thank you so much for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the job
Very diligent craftsmanship. I could use this for guidance on cleaning up a French door in my back wall (brick). Thanks for the video!
Dudes follicly blessed...
Haha I hope it stays that way...
Excellent video. Love to see a carpenter with knowledge of the various classical architecture components. Reminds me of the Brent Hull moulding work.
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the project
Nice Work - more time consuming than it looks.
Glad to see your table saw got a new coat of paint too ... aw
Exterior trim work is quite tedious, but, with some extra care the work should last. Of course it will always require maintenance. Thanks for watching
Thank you sooooo much my friend !!!!
Wow, beautiful job.
Having heard from you. Hope you are ok with this covid. Best wishes! I've watched some of your videos twice!
Thank you so much for all the support. I'm doing well and have just been so busy with work I haven't had any time to sit down and edit a video. I'm planning to return, but, for the moment I seem to be slammed more and more each day....so I can't say exactly when my return will be. Thanks for sticking with me
Love the note pad at 5:55 :)
Haha thanks friend
So what about the white caulk line on the brick that was left there from the previous board?? Couldn't you have just used a little wider board to cover or close enough so new caulk line would cover...other that that amazing work 😍
I understand and spoke with the homeowner about this and he preferred the trim as it was done. I tried to remove some of the excess caulking, but, it was still visible. Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed the job
Nice work!
Thank you
I always enjoy watching your videos. When hiring a carpenter, what should one look for; I have been burned a time or two. I’m a 72 year old widow and want a front porch built. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. You don’t live in Georgia, do you?😁
Sorry, but, I live in MD. It does feel like your flipping a coin when looking for a contractor. The only thing that you can do is research. Maybe ask for some references. Couldn't hurt?
Good work👍
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the job
Great work!! Only 2 suggestions are to pickup a real countersink bit to reduce tear out.... and a more powerful hammer drill would save some time...
Thank and I appreciate the suggestions. My weakness is my cheapness. That's the only reason why I wouldn't break down and buy a new tool. Used to have one of those flip countersink/driver tips for an impact. It got stuck in the chuck and just haven't picked another one up. Thanks for watching
@@horstcarpentry absolutely understandable! I'm the same! But when it came to my last project where a hammer drill was needed I picked up the corded ryobi for like $40! I've only only used it 2 times though...
How come you didn’t make your trim boards wider to cover the old caulking
This was discussed with the homeowner and we decided to preserve the factory prime coat and leave them as is. I cleaned it as much as possible and the homeowner was fine with the result. Thanks for the comment and for watching
Nice Craftman Ship
Thank you
Looks good but why didn't you use foam in cracks between the brick and frame?
I talked to the homeowner about doing that and he said don't worry about it. It would've been something to do for sure. Nothing wrong with a little more insulative value. Thanks for watching
I need to hire someone to do this on my house, what kind of tradesperson should I look for? Would any carpenter be able to do it or is it a more specialized job? Could you give a rough cost estimate just so I have some idea of what to expect? Thanks for the great video!
Any carpenter could do this for you, but, just make sure that if they are using wood that they back prime all cuts. That is the most important part for longevity. I cant remember my price for this job, but, I would think that a price of $2500 - $3000 would be fair. Lumber has gone up a lot since this project, so, my pricing is still catching up. I hope this helps you. Thanks for watching
@@horstcarpentry thank you for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate it!
Is that mold PVc or wood
All of this trim work is wood
What kinds of woods did you use for exterior sir?
I used pre-primed pine for all the trim work. Thanks for watching
Awsome I should of took Carpenter instead of Plumbing.
It's been a while - will we be seeing a new video soon?
Thanks!
Yes hopefully today. Thanks for following along and commenting.
Next time use a countersink bit. To avoid those blowouts on the header.
Thanks for the tip. I just never think about that thing even though I do own one. Thanks for watching
@@horstcarpentry I know you use a bigger bit as a countersink. But maybe you predrilled with a smaller bit than the screw. And when you backed the screw out the screw head blew out the face.
Mistakes were made you're right
Or Forstner bit after you pre drill either way works.
Those are bits that I actually don't own. Been able to get by without them, but, I'm sure one day I'll need to buy them for something.
Looks good, but don't really think the skill level should be labeled as hard
Agree that there are definitely jobs that would be "Super" hard compared to this, but, for some it would be hard. Cabinet trim that's multi-pieced and stained would be harder for sure, or, multiple species of plywood cut on diagonals in a wainscoting detail...heads would explode. Thanks for watching and glad to have the input
Looked like you did great work. I think they should have went with white, but that’s the color they wanted I guess
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. Their HOA specifies the trim color, so, they had to use it. Thanks for watching
