    Love the look, but no self respecting carpenter or home owner should ever put MDF trim on a window. Too many potential issues. For a few extra bucks, go with real wood and avoid the potential moisture and other issues. Would expect this from a house flipper. Again it looks good, but has potential issues with MDF.

      As a contractor, It's really scary to see what and how things are being installed into homes because of CZcams amateurs. I foresee a huge uptick in home fires because of all these how to videos in electrical. At least MDF window trim shouldn't burn down a house. As a side note, it really shouldn't cost any extra to put in solid wood rather than the rubbish. A good quality white oak MDF panel should be about $200 that equates to $6.25 a board foot. I can get white oak lumber for $5 a board foot. of course prices vary by location, but in general lumber is almost always cheaper than an engineer panel, but lumber will have much more labor involved so from a contracting perspective the overall price is cheaper. For someone working on their own home who often doesn't properly calculate their time into a project than solid will almost always be cheaper if they are buying supplies at the appropriate business (not a big box store). There are times, however; when an engineered panel, and it's inherent stability, are preferred over solid wood.

    • @brianowoseni5079

      In his defense, there is a veneer on it, so it's not typical MDF. Or if you are going to use normal MDF, then just use oil-based primer to prevent water intrusion. There are ways to use MDF in those situations.

      @@timtimmons3115 Not sure why you raise fire concerns; any material can burn given the right circumstances. And since this is a window and not a fireplace or stove, that has no relevance to the video.

    Nice job, but that is a lot of work to fix the drywall. I'm yanking my trim as I work my way around the house, but went with simple picture frame trim replacement I custom milled myself (narrower than the original and no traditional stool & apron). My trick is to paint it same color as the wall so it blends in. Keeps your eyes from focusing on the windows.

    You are a legend for this, there is nothing like this that I can find on the internet!!
    Just a question - do you have to have a slight gap between the drywall and the new frame to avoid cracking of the drywall or that's not an issue because of the drywall corner piece you installed?

    • @RadDadBuilds

      @@Moaritsu This maybe true, but will you be at this house ready to buy a home when it goes to market? Flyingjoe is speaking of the typical buyer not outliers. Trim is a classic look that will never go out of style. Something like this will have a shelf life before taste almost always sways back to something more traditional. It's similar to modern architecture. It's only modern for a short time then it becomes dated. Classic looks are considered classic because they always outlive trends. A couple decades ago dark floors were all the rage. Pushed by designers that don't have to live with them. I told all my clients not to put in dark floors because there's a high probability that you will come to hate them with a white hot passion pretty quickly. Most of my customers trust my opinion and chose something else, but a few went with their interior designers, and ended up hating their dark floors with a white hot passion.
