Can you install wood window wrap after a vinyl window is installed?
We are having a house built, and the standard plan does not include window wraps. We would like to have wood-wrapped windows inside and out, but the builder is asking what I believe to be a very steep price for installing them. Is it possible to have a contractor install these window wraps after the house is built? Or do they need to be installed, and then the windows installed over them?
Also, can you give me an idea of what would be a fair price for the builder to charge? (Assuming nothing gancy, like

You can do better than wood (high maintenance) on the outside but if the siding is already installed then forget it. It sounds like you just want wider casings out there. That should be easy enough to do so I recommend Hardi or Miratec trim which could cost as much as $150 per window installed.
It's usually best to order the windows with factory installed interior wood jambs and trim kits for another $150ish installed.
If your builder is just too lazy to do the job then tell him/her you are going to get quotes from someone else since it is something that you want.

yes they can be installed afterwards. but depending on the siding that is being applied there may be an issue there. Is the trim going on top of the siding or is the siding butting to the trim? If its butting to it then the trim needs to go on before the siding for installation ease. Cost is a question that depends on what you want, and the type of window you are installing. A custom trim set could cost you up to 6-800,00 depending on the type of wood and the trim design. I just did a job last summer where I was matching some 1900's trim which had a small crown molding on the top and full 5/4 stools, it got pricey wood inside and out ran around 125.00+ (clear yellow pine) and it took about 12 hrs labor to do each window as I was building to match existing. labor is going to vary depending on where u live Just remember you get what you pay for in most cases. If you have a GOOD trim man, who knows his business, he's worth every penny. dont let the framing guy just throw something up. the trim can make or break an entire job.
