Removing trim from baseboards, molding, or siding can be a small yet necessary DIY project for repairing or renovating a home. Trim or molding is a decorative feature added to the edges of doors, windows, and walls to enhance their appearance and provide a finished look. However, there may come a time when it is necessary to remove trim for various reasons, such as repairing water damage, updating the look of a room, or installing new trim.

Make trim removal a breeze with the best-selling Zenith By Danco Trim Puller – A specialized tool designed to safely and effectively remove the trim from walls, doors, and windows. The face of the tool has a flat pointed edge used to pry the trim away from the wall and a comfort shock-absorbing handle that provides leverage to make the job easier.

How to remove trim using the Trim Puller from Zenith:

  1. Gather the necessary tools: In addition to a Trim Puller, you will also need a hammer to remove the nails holding the trim in place.
  2. Carefully pry the trim away from the wall: Using the Trim Puller, gently pry the trim away from the wall, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Remove carefully to ensure zero damage to the wall or trim.
  3. Remove any nails: Once the trim has been pried away from the wall, use the Trim Puller to remove any nails or staples holding the trim in place. The Hammer can be used to tap the face of the Trim Puller to assist in separating the trim from the wall.
