Great video! I have been agonizing over either paying someone to do this for our back door or tackling the project myself. You have really spelled out the process in easy to follow terms. Here goes nothing...

One other tick my dad showed me a few years back is to leave roughly a 1/8” reveal between the brick molding/trim and door casing whenever possible. This helps lay out a nice clean caulk line.

Thanks for your video and time. It was very helpful.

Great video and well detailed. Also you’re great for replying to most of the comments and not leaving any questions unanswered. Dallas Texas.

Awesome! As a weekend warrior home repair dude who wants to do things the right way, this is just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[robertpearson]

A very easy to watch, informative instructional video. I especially liked the little "tool cam" footage. Nice touch.

[tracybrislin]

Great idea using the nailer cam and the caulk cam, really teaches me exactly how to do both! Thanks Brandon!

Thanks for the info. I think we'll use vinyl for finishing an outer door on our raised ranch. Previously there was aluminum sheeting bent in to fit.. This looks much nicer and we don't need a sheet metal brake! The door was a couple hundred so splurging on the outer trim a little more makes since because we are doing it ourselves.

Great, very informative. Thanks for the extra detail.

Great Job....Thanks for providing both detailed and overview options for both types of viewers....excellent idea 💡 ! Also, nice of you to point out to those with less tools that home improvements don't NEED more advanced tools and can be done with some basics. Keep up the great content, new viewer and subscriber.

Very good video dude. I was about to buy wood brick molding and trim pieces to repair some rotting wood until I saw this....this will definitely be the way to go with vinyl.

[michaelkern]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I learned a lot. Mike from St. Louis.

[Tsunamist]

Nice. Can't wait to try this at home.

[arminius]

Awesome, clean craftsmanship, well done!

[johnl]

Thanks for showing the detail and the tip in using wire cutter to pull the nail!

[daisyortiz]

Would love to see you change out the molding of a bay window. Thank you!

[Infrared]

Yes on wire cutters for pulling nails! This video really helped me because I replaced my patient sliders and didn't like the old aluminum trim.

[geologik]

Thanks for a no-nonsense video. We've got a 1926 Craftsman that needs some serious updates and the trim around the doors (and basically all exterior) needs to be redone and I'm seriously considering vinyl. Great video!

[noneofyodamnbidness]

Great video! Just wondering...I have a older home that I will be changing and exterior door. My question is...is it always good practice to leave the old molding under the brick mold, or should everything come off and be replaced? Thanks for any help!
