How to Install Window Trim like a Pro

In this video, I share with you how I learned to install window trims like a pro. I promise if you try this one time, you will never go back to installing window trims one piece at a time

That screw trick at end is a game changer. Thanks!

[@congnguyen6425]

I am fully impressed! It's just a complete kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

[@owenmorehart1224]

Great tip. I'd never thought to build the trim boxes beforehand. The screws in the window frame as shims is priceless. Thx.

[@dougschack9341]

Me and my wife did our whole house like this based upon your videos and Perkins Brothers videos. Ours was painted and thankfully not stained. But it worked like a charm. Would 1000% do it again! Not even a question! We didn’t use the screws in the sides though. We just left a 1/8” clearance. The screws in the side is “next level”!

[@timgoodliffe]

stain is a pain lol

[@chiefexec7367]

I have done windows like that for years, I like doing the old stile trim with a sill & with ears on the sides & a skirt under the sill It’s just a little more decorative

You will not regret the Kreg jig Forman. Saves a ridiculous amount of time.

[@christopherhaak9824]

Never ever smear the glue squeeze out with your finger like you did! You can never get that out of the surface of the joint as was clearly shown on the install that you showed - you had glue issues at two of the corners exposed by the stain. Let the glue squeeze out be and leave it as a small bead. Once it is mostly dry, but not completely, you can come back and remove it cleanly with either a scraper if you like to pull, or a chisel if you like to push. That will get 99% of the squeeze out and make sanding of the joint much easier. All the other tips good, although if you were using something like regular oak trim, it is often much easier to stain and finish first before cutting and assembly. Also, with regular outside finish trim that is prefinished, you can miter, glue the miter and pull it flush with just a single trim screw in the miter. All of the concepts are good, but if you can change a few things, it will go even better for you.

Great tip using the screws as shims!

[@timbarker4189]

Can’t stop watching your videos. They’re super helpful. Question though: I don’t recall seeing how you insulate around the window. Do you have a video showing that process? In past i just spray foam around the frame before trimming out but not sure if that’s a best practice. Thanks for all your sharing!

[@4loveyall]

[@seyoonhan5933]

Thank you this is a great tip. One thing I wanted see in the video was how to deal with the different depths between the window and the drywall in terms of cutting and assembly of the jam. Could you give me a tip for that?

[@refactorear]

It's what I have seen others like Finish Carpentry TV do, but it's interesting to watch it being done with such thick pieces. Finishing carpenters do it with thinner 1/2 - 3/4 trims which they sometimes glue with super glue instead of pocket holes.

[@Red1Wollip]

This is a great video! Thanks

[@scottdezieck7056]

Wow great video ... very helpful

[@rufuswallace9010]

I also preassemble except bottom is a window stool with ears and apron , I think looks much nicer. Nothing bad about what you are doing.

[@aidans7342]

Wish I could do this in remodels, so much easier!

[@dscottpeterson6653]

My own experience, end grain really soaks up the glue. I add a light coat to both end grains and then join them together. Makes a much stronger joint.

[@TheBuckaroo27]

Another plus side to doing it that way is you can build them off site in your own shop/garage

[@jeffalan6339]

The trim screws are for the finish carpenter or at least I use them and tell myself that . I notice they never split the wood or just lucky so far. I have seen your Milwaukee stud review I bought one to see if it would be and asset I like the belt hook, though still like the Luftkin Nighteyes the green and black combo with large numbers is an ideal tape though the blades are weak can tear easy.

[@zephyr1408]

Oh I use Sheetrock screws and that is exactly how I do it ! But I hv been using 2.5” nails I think 2” is better and I also use Paslode 16! U sold me on those guns a long time ago!

Festool makes a great line of vacums you can use on sanders and miter saws, little pricey but works great and lasts a long time l have had mine for 🤷‍♂️not sure 15 years and I use it a lot

I love and hate staining at the same time. Its such a tedious process that takes a good bit of time to even get good at. Let alone proficient in the way some are

Nicely done Kyle, keep up the great work. Pre-assembling is the way to go.

[@jimbecker5675]

That is a very helpful video for me...I have three windows to eventually trim out in my "baby post frame" workshop that just went up and pre-making these assemblies plus the fitting method you show is great.

[@MustPassTruck]

This reminds me of another KZbin video I have watched a few time. Is that a pile of pre-finished trim casings in the back left? Impressive.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Is there a Toolsday review on that installation driver that you're using? I've seen a couple guys here using it and AvE lifted the skirt on one to show us the greasy bits, and me being a renovation carpenter, it looks like something I'd use a lot

[@Tattooclownfish71]

Hi I curious could you use the screw method when putting the window in from the outside ?? I bought windows with flange and I can’t get the level the way I want having a super tuff time anyone please help trailers are so hard to replace the windows I even checked the other 3 windows that are still in the mobile home and those aren’t even level I can’t hire contractor they want rediculous amount of cash 💰 thank you I love the video

Hi - I installed an ac unit in my metal building. What’s is the best way to trim out the opening ? J- channel? Thank you!

[@EK99_00]

You didn’t show the most important part. How to measure to make the casing.

[@yonderwoodworking]

Do you purposely make the jam box a touch smaller to allow for the slop for adjustment? How much smaller? 1/4 inch?

[@UlisesYaniz]

My windows currently have drywall returns and want to change them for wood jambs/trim. Would I have to remove the drywall? Or would i be able to go over the drywall following these same steps? Thank you in advance.

[@justincampbell4619]

When you measured, did you account for the distance of the screws off the wall?

[@imacoonass01]

Awesome!

[@mikenicholson2548]

Thanks 👍👍

[@zephyr1408]

I use Sheetrock screws to set the reveal? Do u Kyle? Or am I wasting time? Your really a great carpenter buddy!

[@lucky12680]

have you ever tried hiding even more fasteners by attaching the casing to the jamb using pocket screws from the outside of the jamb box up into the casing?

[@summergain]

A little tedious getting margins even, but works and looks great

How do you get those 45's so perfect? I've always had issues with getting 45's perfect.

[@dave_adamson]

I always check my saw with a speed square before cutting. Found my one saw wasn't even close on the stops.

[@dougschack9341]

Get a digital angle gage! Zero it out on a table, cut a test piece on your miter saw, check the angle of your cut on the table you zeroed the gage on. Make adjustments from there. You will make air tight miters!

[@burtnull2245]

Not a comment on your work, but does anyone use a proper window stool and apron, or just the picture frame?

[@christopherhaak9824]

Most people picture frame now, but a stool and apron looks very good in some cases but it not a "modern" look.

Hi there just wondering what your method was for measuring architraves/trim for windows?

Hi kyle love the content, how do you find the milwaukee installation driver? any thoughts or drawbacks? thinking of getting one. Also the Kreg Foreman is definately worth it. had a jig like you have have got he foreman cheap as an ex display model and have not regretted the purchase.

[@michaelpreston7384]

Are those t 20 screws

[@andrewkirschner1485]

What type of wood ?

[@christopherhaak9824]

It's poplar, which really doesn't stain well and is more for paint.

[@matthewwright57]

If you are staining and not painting the window cases, don't use poplar. Poplar stains like shit. Use an oak, white oak stains great, or use the color you want directly by picking the wood to match. And trim like that really you need to use a straight grain board.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

It stains perfectly fine. You just have to get it sprayed. All we use is Maple and its the same thing, 100% has to be sprayed to get a proper finish.

[@mathdj01]

What happens if the jam width does not allow for flush fit at the window or out at the drywall?

[@jimmienorthrup2548]

Make the jamb extension extra wide and scribe it so it’s flush with drywall, it will also fix any potential warp in the windows.

[@vahurikonen6110]

Hi Kyle, Great video, love your content. Noticed that you had Sawstop jobsite table saw set up there, would love to hear your thoughts on that. ( Maybe a toolsday video?)

[@Jminenna]

can you do the same assembly if you have a detailed trim pieces instead of the flat trim?

[@Z-Bart]

Awesome! I have 10 new windows and a patio door to trim out. Problem is, the extension jambs ordered (pre finished and attached) are approximately 5/8" proud of my finished interior walls. If I break out the power plane, I'll wind up in divorce court. Lol.

[@arcadiagreen150]

Win win

[@NunYaaBizz]

Hope u signed a pre nup

[@nickolasbuggs7020]

if you're casing isnt real wide you might be able to run it through the table saw with a good blade on it

[@Z-Bart]

@@nickolasbuggs7020 Possibly. If I don't destroy it taking it off the installed windows. The other option may be a rabbit and mill my own casing trim a little thicker maybe 7/8" or so.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Set up a guide on a circular saw and you can easily chop off 5/8 around the entire extension

[@stoffes]

who is stronger yo and your teammate?

[@alanrahlf9603]

Was the bottom left miter in that final product of the smaller window not sanded quite enough? Seems like the stain didn't absorb there. Some great tips though, I like the idea of using the screws as shims and aligning them with parts of the window to remember where they are so you don't nail into them.

[@shootermcgavin1554]

PLEASE throw that Paslode away and use the Milwaukee 18G nail gun. I have 3, I can send you one for free. No gas, works in the cold, never misfires.

He's got the Milwaukee one. The Paslode weighs 4.6 lbs, the Milwaukee weighs 6.4 lbs....without the battery. Gotta look out for the shoulders there Shooter.

[@mesh1248]

Why screws and nails when the glue is what holds things together overtime

[@zephyr1408]

How is the accuracy with the small miter saw?

[@jeffschulteis9168]

The glue is not stronger than the Krueger screws. Your glue joint is an end grain joint which is the weakest joint.
