Replace Your Rotted Wood Window Trim with PVC Vinyl Trim Boards

A video showing you how to replace your rotted wood window trim with PVC vinyl trim board. I never replace my rotted wood with anything but PVC vinyl as it will last a lifetime and never need to be replaced again!
These PVC boards can be found at any big-box hardware store and come in several varieties. They come in the same nominal dimensions as wood and are easy to install. Just make sure you get a PVC/Vinyl fastening system to install your trim!

In this video I used a Cortex fastening system (www.homedepot.com/p/FastenMas...)

You are amazing. You can make anything and now you’re teaching home repairs. Thanks for this amazing video. Make sure Andrew sees this one.

Totally the kind of project I'd blindly walk into (and at some point ask myself if I really know what I'm doing!) You made it very approachable. Also, nice guns, Lefty.

LOL, brother. Hadn't heard from you in a while and was wondering where you went! Yeah, trim work is no fun...

[@daroldw4606]

I'm going to be building a house soon and I'm going to use this from the get-go so I never have to replace them. :)

[@industrialcomfort]

Smart move, Darold! Wish I had done that…

KZbin is blocking the "Comment Bar" on cell phones! PVC is great stuff for trim. I have 2 stationary windows that are slanted at the tops. $1,450 each, W/O labor is discouraging! PVC has come down in price and some are using regular PVC glue with the plug caps over screws. The sill and brick molding is rotting after 34 years. I can't tell where it stops but butts up to the glass. A vibratory cutter would make short work by installing a temp narrow filler strip the remove the old. It has a good cap but the bottom of the brick molding was never sealed wicking water up the fibers of the wood. Just looking for support as I am living here until my boots leave first. Thoughts? Thanks for the informative video. ASE Master retire / decent wood worker. Thanks!!!

Do you think I should consider adding any extra tape flashing before putting the PVC trim board up?

[@industrialcomfort]

Hi Joe, it can never hurt, especially if you think the vapor barrier beneath may have been compromised.

[@anthonycicero7970]

What? This can't be the correct way to trim out a window. If it is I apologize but where's the j mouldings? How can this be a watertight seal?

[@industrialcomfort]

The J Moulding is pried up at the beginning and the piece of PVC is placed underneath to replace the wood board. It’s still there, I just pushed out of the way to replace the wood.

You think pvc trim is better then lol smart siding

[@industrialcomfort]

I do not know as I am not familiar with Smartsiding. I assume the resin and wax in it is pretty darn durable though. It seems that it’s more resistant to impact even if it may not last as long.
