We’ve been working on increasing our curb appeal over the past few weeks, and after removing our storm door, we found the wood trim around it had cracked and rotted. So we install new exterior PVC trim, and are sharing what we learned in this quick & easy tutorial!
Fortunately, installing exterior trim around your front door is pretty straightforward. Here’s what you’ll need:


-X-acto knife


-Small crowbar


-Hammer


-PVC brick molding door kit


-Construction adhesive (make sure it’s PVC- & exterior-appropriate)


-#6 galvanized finishing nails (galvanized= resists rust)


-Miter saw (We didn’t have this and improvised. This is what you’re supposed to use…)


-Measuring tape


-Caulk


-Exterior paint
First: If you have a storm door, remove it. Either way, you’ll probably need the X-acto knife to cut through and scrape off any existing caulk on the old trim.
