It s all done by eye with a sharp pencil a miter saw and an 18 gauge nailer.
How to install trim corners around windows for vinyl siding. Install the tops first then the sides and then the bottoms of the window surrounds. When installing window molding start at the top. Install j channels at doors and windows and under roof eaves and rakes. After the insulation is in place you want to install trim around the inside to finish the job.
Most trim carpenters don t even use a tape to trim windows. But in my experience the best product is a vinyl flat trim that matches the window frame. Along the tops install j channel trim with horizontal siding and base trim with vertical siding. Cut a 45 degree angle on one end of the trim and hold it so the short end of the angle.
You can use wood trim from the hardware store or some other product. Cut the trim so it is two channel widths longer than the opening s width.
