[quote=Anonymous]I'm planning to renovate a modern rowhome in DC and trying to keep a clean, high-end look to the back of the home. I am planning on large Marvin high end fiberglass or aluminum windows, and I’ll be using Boral TruExterior siding. My builder is suggesting to use exterior trim around the windows, saying it’s easier to waterproof and "finishes" the look. But my architect strongly recommends going trimless for that sleek, modern aesthetic. Would love input from folks who’ve done something similar. Neighboring homes that are super low end have nothing (but they also have cheap vinyl windows), recent developer flips seem to having trim, and the more custom homes seem to be a mix of trimless and with trim.[/quote]
