Why PVC Trim?
Exterior wood trim is often the first part of a house to fail. Rain, humidity, and gutter overflow soak into joints and end grain, and rot spreads behind the paint. Cellular PVC trim is made to solve that problem:
- Will not rot or absorb water, even at ground contact and under gutters
- Resists insects such as carpenter ants and termites
- Stays straight without the cupping and splitting common in wood
- Looks like painted wood and can be painted to match your home
- Low maintenance compared with repainting and patching wood trim

PVC Trim Repair FAQs
Is PVC trim better than wood trim?
For exterior areas exposed to moisture, PVC is usually the better long-term choice because it does not rot or absorb water. Wood can still make sense for some historic details, and we will talk through both options.
Does PVC trim need to be painted?
Not always. White PVC can be left unpainted. It can also be painted to match your home. We use paints suited to PVC and recommend lighter colors, since very dark colors can cause heat-related movement.
Why is my PVC trim separating at the joints?
PVC expands and contracts with temperature. Joints that were not glued, fastened, or gapped correctly can open over time. We repair them using proper joining methods and sealants.
Can you replace just the rotted sections of wood trim?
Yes. We can replace only the damaged boards with PVC and match the profile, or replace entire runs when that makes more sense.
How long does PVC trim last?
Properly installed cellular PVC trim is designed to last for decades without rotting, making it one of the most durable exterior trim materials available.
How much does PVC trim repair cost?
It depends on how much trim is involved, access height, and any hidden rot behind it. We provide a free, written, line-item estimate after inspection.
