Exterior Trim Services in Montclair, NJ
Exterior trim replacement on a Montclair home done correctly starts with finding the moisture source that caused the failure. If the gutters are overflowing onto the fascia, if the window casing has no flashing, if the corner boards have no back-priming — those problems have to be fixed before the new trim goes on or the failure cycle repeats.
PVC and fiber cement exterior trim in Montclair: fascia, soffit, corner boards, window casing, rake boards, and frieze boards. We install after finding and fixing the moisture source — not before. Written estimates, workmanship warranty, free inspections. Call (973) 713-1053.

Decorative & porch trim →Why Trim Quality Matters for Your Montclair Home
- Well-fitted trim seals the building envelope. Gaps at trim transitions are pathways for moisture, insects, and air infiltration — proper installation eliminates all three.
- We identify wood rot at the source, not just the surface. What looks like a trim failure is often a flashing or caulk failure behind it — we trace the problem before we fix it.
- Our Montclair trim installations are built to hold paint for the long haul. Proper prep, correct primer, and tight joints are what separate a five-year paint job from a two-year one.
- NJ HIC licensed, fully insured for all trim work in Essex County.

Trim Questions — Montclair, NJ
If yours isn’t here, call us. We’ll give you a real answer.
Trim rot on Montclair homes almost always comes from one of two sources — gutters or flashing. The two most common causes: water intrusion from above (clogged or overflowing gutters saturating the fascia), and improper or failed caulking and flashing at window and door casing. Wood trim that sits where water collects or runs repeatedly will fail regardless of how well it was originally installed. We identify the water source and fix it at the same time.
Fascia rot is the most common trim issue we find on Montclair homes and the cause is almost always gutters. Fascia rot is almost always caused by gutters that overflow, have failed seams, or are pitched incorrectly. Water running over the back lip of the gutter soaks the fascia repeatedly until it fails. Fascia that’s installed without proper drip edge also gets saturated from the roof surface above. Replacing the fascia alone without correcting the gutter problem will result in the same failure within a few years.
Frieze board is a trim component that many Montclair homeowners don’t know by name until it rots. Frieze board is the horizontal trim band that runs along the top of the wall just below the soffit. It’s common on colonial-style homes throughout NJ. When it rots, water enters the wall cavity at the top of the wall. We replace frieze boards with PVC or fiber cement as part of full exterior trim packages. We’ll identify all deteriorated components during the estimate.
