How to Install Custom DIY Window Trim & Door Trim--ON A BUDGET

- In this video, I'm sharing how I like to trim out my windows and doors to look really high end...but on a budget!
This video was sponsored by my friends at The Home Depot as part of the #THDProSpective program.
The stars of the show in this project were my Ryobi AirStrike 18V ONE+ nailers. They made this job a breeze and save so much frustration without having to drag hoses and compressors around.
Check them out here: (aff links below)

18 gauge Ryobi AirStrike 18V ONE+ nailer: homedepot.sjv.io/vn2RJv
I've used this exact method to trim out windows in my last three houses and love how "fancy" it looks compared to the typical builder grade trim installed in most homes. This is a really budget friendly way to upscale your windows and doors!

This shop is already such a dreammmm. 😍
Sam you will get one soon.
It’s ready for you to come visit! 😉
Shara and Sam collab!!
@@DrunkInPublic Steve, I am ready for that video. How about you?
@@pteddie6965 🤛🏼👋🏼
You're a life saver. We just bought a hundred and twenty year old house that has the same trim. But they took it out of the bedrooms to put plastic thin trim.
Oh no! Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking 😂 I hate that plastic trim stuff. Hopefully this helps you swap it out!
Just subscribed. You make this seem effortless. Love it! Thanks for the info on the nail guns. What brand of paint and what tone of white do you use for the trim? I'm at that point now where I need to paint and I don't want for instance a white that has a gray tone to it. Looking pretty much for pure white or something close. TIA
I’m in the process of building a new house and refuse to pay a fortune for all the upgrades. I opted for the “basic” on the windows because I knew I could do this. Thanks for the clear instructions! I’m feeling a lot more confident!
Ditto. Bought a spec home 2 years ago that had the layout and basics of what I wanted. Now I'm ready to tackle the upgrades that were out of my price range.
Such a great idea! Some things are splurge worthy and some things are things you can upgrade as you go. I hope this was helpful. You got this! 🙌🙌
I just thinks that type of millwork around windows and doors makes it look so high end. Drives me crazy going into a expensive house and not see this type of trim work. It looks great!! Thanks for the video showing how to do it!
I've never even thought about upgrading my window trim but now I'm calculating how much to do all the windows in my house! Great video!!
Haha I understand! I did one like this several years ago in a remodeled kitchen with no plans to do any others and that’s the window that started everything. After that, I ended up redoing all the ones in that house 🙈 it’s almost an addiction haha
I had always looked at trim like this and wondered how difficult and expensive it would be to do. Thanks to you Shara, I not only have my answers, but I have realized that they are simple enough that I feel like I could do this in my house and make all my windows and doors “Fancy”! (Oh you Fancy!!”). As usual, you can always be counted on for good ideas which are very workable and easy to follow along with you, and this is why you are one of my absolute favorite RUclips channels and creators.
I really appreciate your kind words. ThNk you!! 💕 I’m so glad you find the videos helpful and inspiring. That makes my day!
The crown molding is an excellent touch. The windows and the door look great.
Thank you! It adds so much dimension 😍
The window trim looks great! Thanks for the video and information.
Thanks so much for watching! So glad it was helpful!
Easily my favourite DIY channel. Simple designs that look so classy. A very difficult mix to get. Been acquiring tools for two years, garage renovated last year in readiness (gotta start somewhere so a paintbrush seemed a good way!). Now to build cabinets. I'll be good at boxes by 2023. Thank you for your clear steps and I love you explain everything. Including the "why" and sometimes the inevitable mistakes we all make. So often these are omitted or simply overlooked from the viewers perspective. Cracking job and thanks for the inspiration over the last month to actually get on sketchup and start playing with some ideas. Garage first so I'll learn there where it doesn't matter then work on an entertainment centre (which I took a lot of inspiration from the one you did for your Mum. (Mom!) Not even gonna apologise for the essay as people are often quick to criticise but are rarely so forthcoming when the message is purely positive.
Absolutely the best description of this channel! I love that everything looks so professional and beautiful but doesn’t make me feel like I’m way out of my league
I love hearing this. Thank you so much! I’m so happy people find these videos and designs helpful and inspiring. Makes my day 💕
You are so kind. This “essay” means so much to me. I truly appreciate your kind words and am so glad to hear you find the videos and ideas helpful and inspiring. That’s awesome you have a newly renovated garage you can work in! I think you’ll be good at boxes well before 2023 😂 give yourself some credit. You got this! 🙌🙌
Nice work. Love the way the window and door came out.
Thanks so much!
I’ve watched about 50 window trim videos and yours is the BEST!!! I love the additional trim too. Thanks for sharing this! Wonderful job! You also helped me to decide to redo the door trim in my master bedroom. Thanks!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job! Agreed on the Ryobi Air Strike line. I love mine!
Thank you! Yes, I'd be lost without my battery nailers!
I’ve been wanting to add trim to my windows for so long and a leaky roof gave me a test window. Came across your video and loved the look and simple design. 4 windows done and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
And…. Congratulations Shara on breaking that 100,000 subscriber number!!!!! You’ve earned it and certainly do a great job in your video content and presentation!
I really appreciate that! So glad to hit my goal of 100k! I’m thankful for kind and supportive followers like you!
@@WoodshopDiaries …. You are certainly welcome and I appreciate your talent and sharing it with us!
- Need to do repairs on two windows. This is just the info/directions needed. Thanx 4 sharing.
That’s great to hear it was helpful! You got this! 🙌
Perfect timing again. We’re going to be moving into a mid-century house with plain windows. This trim style will look great in them. Thank you!
Yes! Congratulations and happy moving!
Shara, the detail you give in this tutorial is fantastic. Thank you
I'm so glad it's helpful!
This so so we’ll Zaire’s and now I can trim out our unfinished garage windows. Thanks so much!
I'm renovating my house now. I'm using your design for the windows and door trim. Thank you so mush for sharing!!!! I love this design. I noticed you used a step latter to work up high. I know you must use saw horse also, but thought I would share the one's I use and love them anytime I have to do something up higher on the wall or ceiling. Klondike "KTL" model 140-02 all aluminum. Only costs $100 each for the 2 foot high one's.
Details make it look awesome.
Thank you!
This was just the video we needed to help us with some projects in our family room. Thank you for the inspiration! Our newly trimmed window looks better than I thought it could!
The window looks great! I enjoyed learning about how to cut the crown molding. This helped me understand it better. Thanks for sharing this.
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks as always for watching!
That looks so nice! Thanks for sharing your method.
Shara, you really nailed this project.
I like your new place of work sister
Thank you! So excited to get to work in there!
loving your work. Great breakdown and presentation. Thank you for sharing.
Good to see you, queen.
Thanks so much for watching!
Super nice and beautiful workpiece
Thank you!
What a simple way to make windows beautiful. It looks just faboulous!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
The little extras you added really made a huge difference......looks great!!!
Thank you so much!
You always choose the best DIY projects! They are always really practical, but are intimidating for a casual DIYer like myself, so when you pull back the curtain and show the steps on how to do it, it's always very inspiring. The tips and tricks of the trade you share are also a level of detail above other makers that I watch. Thank you!
I did something like this at my old house. It's nice to have a wider window sill! Y'all are so neat and organized! Amazing channel! Love it!
Hey Thanks for all your content! I'm glad I've found it - the stuff on cabinets and trim is awesome :)
Congrats on the 100k 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!! 😘😘
Shara Woodshop Diaries I really want to commend you on letting your work be the focus of your channel. I've really liked the videos I've watched
So glad to hear you enjoy the videos and the content! 😄
@@WoodshopDiaries you should have a lot more subscribers
Wow! I also replaced all the trim in my builder grade home with new door and window trim and baseboard. And I made the same door/window as you did. Great results. 👍😃 And cutting those little, tiny, half-round returns is fun, isn’t it! I’m going to enjoy this series.
Awesome! Isn’t it crazy the difference a little trim can add to a space?? 😍 also I cringe every time I cut those little half round end caps 😂 they usually go flying and I have to go find them 🙈
@@WoodshopDiaries And I didn’t have a zero clearance throat plate in my miter saw. Arrgghh!
That looks great! Lots of good tips, too. I just moved into my new house & shop, and I've put this vid in my "Excellent Tutorials" playlist. Thanks for sharing, and thumbs up!
Shara, you look really good in your new shop. Great job on your trim with excellent explainations. Now your giving me some ideas on how I can make my shop look a little bit better. Thanks for Sharing!
Thank you for such a clear video. My new place could use some trimmed windows and this makes it plausible for me. Thanks for noting the gauge of the nails, this is often not mentioned and it was important to know the difference.
Enjoy and like you video I’ll be watching your channel forever and I’m learning new easy techniques from you thanks I just love your personality
This was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much! I'm building a tiny house from scratch and now just getting to Windows and Doors inside. Very hard to find such clear cut information on this process
Beautiful Job Shara. Love watching a woman do woodworking.A beautiful woman at that. Take Care and be safe
Thanks so much for watching!
Love that craftsman style look, it's very similar to what I've installed. For those crown miters, a Collins spring clamp or two work well, too, until that glue dries. Just fill the holes like you do for nails, and paint. Love your builds, Shara!
That is a beautiful trim design, awesome job 👍🏼
Thank you!!
Very nice! You can also use your router table to make molding from long pieces without having to splice
Yes, good point. I don’t have a router table and these are fairly cheap so I usually just pick them up for this
Zoinks! The one tool you don’t have?
Excellent ... thank you for bringing us along. It looks terrific.
Thanks for following along!
Very cool! Looks awesome...
That is just so beautiful! I wish I had unfinished windows or doors to do this. Great job and learning lessons!
I’ve ripped more than a few existing windows apart to redo them like this 😅😅 but sometimes it’s more work than it worth haha. If you ever replace your windows, that’s a good tome to do it since the trim is already off
I have never seen molding on door and windows and I have to say they look fabulous. Great jod as usual and thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching! So glad you liked the details!
I’ve watched this video 6x cause it’s so damn good at explaining how to do this with a high end look in a budget. It’s just what I needed to get my house upgraded before selling. Thank you for helping me get the most out of my sale! Plus these projects are super fun, and totally doable by a DIYer! #WeekendWarriors
Very nice, simple and creative. Thank you.
Beautiful trim job Shara! I really like the look, up scale for sure!
Thanks so much!
great trimwork skills!
Thanks so much!
Easy Peasey and looks high end.
Awesome!! Great job!
Love this tutorial.. I am in the process of trimming our kitchen cabinets and this is just what I needed.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video great job and advice. Very concise. Thank you
Love this trim style 💕
Thanks so much! It’s my favorite too
Very nice work!
I appreciate it!
Awesome Job
That trim looks so good! Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video. Very clear and precise going to try this Thanks
You have a good eye. I love the simple processes and the great looking results you achieve.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video!
How nice!!!
Thanks Shara as always, always useful and inspiring videos. Love all. Just put a new door to outside through my utility room. Will finish this way and knowing me I'll be wanting to replace trim throughout. Lol Couldnt do it without you. Always the best, easiest to follow. Thanks so much!
Yes! Once you do one, you’ll be addicted 😂 I’m so glad you found this helpful! Happy building 😎
It looks really good!
Thank you so much! 💕💕
Really beautiful work, Shara! 😃
It's looking fantastic in there already!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to finish out the rest of this wall 🙌 hope you have a great weekend!
Shara , thank for video !!!
Looks great! Your new shop is really going to be nice! I like your step-by-step explanation of each and every project! The use of common 1x’s adds a bit of a rustic, yet modern look that’s very, very nice! Priming the wood sure does help with the final finish. Looks great! Have a nice weekend Shara!
I hope you have a great weekend as well! I responded to your other comment before I knew there were two 🙈 but thank you again!
@@WoodshopDiaries …. I didn’t notice that you had achieved another subscriber milestone until after I had already commented! Thanks for the second reply! Take care!
You should get the Ryobi pin nailer as well it's super handy.
That’s on my list! One day I’ll pick one up!
Very nice tutorial and great end results Shara. I don't have a need for trim right now but enjoyed the video. It will come in handy someday.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
As always flawless and excellent
I enjoyed 👍👏👏
Thank you! You’re too kind!
@@WoodshopDiaries you're welcome, thank you, you too
you're the best best best!! Thank you so much for this.
You are amazing 🤩 as always!!
You're so kind. Thank you!
Now my Saturday is complete after watching this video :)
Haha I appreciate you watching!
You are amazing!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great job!!
Thanks so much for following along!
Hi Shara, Thank you for giving me hope on how to get a great looking trim around doors and windows without the expensive price. Could you please let us do a rough price comparison between store-bought trim or having a pro do it vs doing in ourselves like you did? Thanks and keep up the great work! You are simply inspirational 🙂
Btw, I just activated the bell so I'll be notified for all your future videos.
Thanks so much for following along! I’m not sure how cost compares. To be honest the store bought trim kits are the exact trim I’ve been going around in my homes replacing for years because I hate them. I have no idea their cost as I’ve never been interested in buying them 😅 and also I’ve never had a professional out to look at replacing my trim either because I knew I could do it myself much faster. So I’m not sure how much they’d cost either. But I can imagine it would be hundreds of not thousands to replace all the house trim.
Lots of great trim to hold onto the dust
Yep 👍
I have been doing very similar window trim as well except the crown. I actually stopped using pine for two reasons, cost and in time the knots start to bleed through every time of primer i have used. Now i switch to mdf and rip it to the length i need , alot more for the money and it holds paint beautifully.. Great job though, keep it up and glad you got some sponsorships...
Yeah the knots have potential to bleed through. But I always use really good primer and ive never run into that issue…at least not yet. But I hate MDF with a passion so I’d probably rather just add another coat of paint if it started to bleed through 😅
Great vid 👍
I love how the crown molding really adds extra dimension to the window. I am curious as to how much dust (and sawdust) ends up getting captured behind that crawn over the course of a year. Do you ever check/clean the empty area behind the crown?
I’ve only had this in my shop for a week and haven’t made much sawdust in there yet since then. But I’ve had these for years in my other houses and I guess dust gets stuck up there, but it doesn’t like “fill up” or anything. I painted the wall two years after installing some around the doors in the hallway of a past home and it wasn’t much up there. A few dead lady bugs and some spider webs 😂 but if it bothered you, a quick vacuum here and there wouldn’t be too difficult.
Damn good job.
That looks fantastic. Nicely done as always. :)
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
"High end" indeed. Woodshop Upgrade Diaries!
Haha it’s getting fancy in here 😂😂
if your doing something and feel like filming it we would love to watch that looks excellent !;-)
I appreciate that! Thanks for always watching and following along!
Very nice.
Thank you 👍
Love the idea Shara, wish I'd thought of it, I have been hand contouring my trim piece by piece as I remodel rooms. Gets tough keeping them looking the same. Especially if there is any length of time between room renovations.
Thats what I’m hoping to do on our home…redo trim as I remodel all the rooms. I can imagine that’s tough keeping things consistent doing things by hands. But I’m sure they look awesome nonetheless!
@@WoodshopDiaries I enjoy the process. Any time in the shop breathing sawdust is a good day for me
Great video! I'm honestly surprised you haven't made yourself a better insert for your miter saw. It goes a long way to prevent any blowout from the standard insert that has such a large gap.
Thanks! I use a fine finish 100 tooth blade on my miter saw and rarely have issues with tear out on it. When I do, I know it’s time to change the blade ha.
First comment greetings from Greece , love your videos and your channel
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate that!
I have a 1910 Victorian. I did total kitchen make over needing some inspiration on window trim in oak.
Good job kid
Thank you 👍
How is it that I'm just now finding your channel?? Regardless, I've subscribed here and on Insta. You're giving me so many amazing projects to work on in my very first house that'll be mine next month! 😁
The window trim in my 1923 house is very similar to this.
Great job! Real nice look. I’m wondering if you ever considered a 1/2 in reveal?
Love your channel! Dumb question: would it be better to pre-prime the wood if painting?
It came out really nice just like the other projects you have done! Do you have a video on building a bookcase?
Not sure what kind of bookcase you’re wanting, but I have several videos:

@@WoodshopDiaries Thanks, the bookshelf in first video is what I was looking for.
Great timing with this video! I'll be trimming out windows and doors in my newly remodeled basement rec room soon. Excellent tutorial on doing this! How do you maintain your Air Strike nailers? Any oiling/maintenance tips? Mine often dry-fires, especially after not using it for several weeks or months even. Thanks!
I’ll be honest, I’ve never done a thing to my airstrikes. I’ve had the 18 gauge for 4-5 years now and use it OFTEN and have done zero maintenance. Every now and then (maybe 1/30 nails?? I’ve never counted haha) it will dry fire, but I just reshoot the nail and move on.
I really like the idea of the half round at the bottom. A question, is there any rule about the length of the overhang in relation to the header? The inside width of my windows is 32". Can I leave 1" overhang on either side?
Thank you for sharing this! We have a new build and our builder made the inside of the windows dry wall. Do we have to take the drywall off first or can we skip the step of trimming the inside of windows with new wood?
It depends…if you add the wood on top of the drywall, if it’s still not covering the glass or moving parts and it’s still just on the outside frame, it’s probably fine. But if it covers any of that, you’d need to remove the drywall. Does that make sense?
