Mastering the art of exterior window trim assembly
In short: Learn the precise construction techniques used by professionals to create durable, high-quality window frames using sturdy, pre-primed pine.
In Rhode Island, builder Jeff Sweenor and his apprentice, Ryan, demonstrate a systematic approach to exterior trim work. The process begins with using farmed pine, which offers greater sturdiness than standard varieties. The assembly involves cutting sill angles first, gluing return pieces, and drilling for pocket screws to build the frame on the ground before final installation.
The technique concludes with face nailing the assembly around the window and adding crown molding to the soffit to complete the architectural look.
