Architectural PVC Trim for Windows, Doors, and Corners

Wood trim is where rot starts on Oakland County homes. Window sills take water from every rain. Corner boards at grade level sit in snow for months. Fascia absorbs runoff from the gutter. Once rot gets into trim, it moves into the adjacent framing quickly. Cellular PVC from AZEK or Versatex eliminates the problem — it won't absorb moisture, won't rot, and holds paint better than wood does.

We use PVC cement at butt joints for a seamless, monolithic connection and stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent rust staining through the paint. PVC expands more than wood across Michigan's temperature range, so butt joints need deliberate gapping to accommodate movement — joints installed without clearance buckle outward in summer heat. We also build custom profiles with PVC stock: window headers with built-up backbands, decorative brackets, rake boards with crown returns.

Southeast Michigan homeowners who switch from wood to PVC trim stop the cycle of scraping, priming, and repainting rotted sections every few years. Once installed and painted, PVC holds that painted edge for a long time. We prime all cut ends before installation — that step determines whether the joint stays tight or opens up through the first few seasons of thermal movement.
