What type of exterior cladding is installed by first trimming out pre-made moldings?

Vinyl siding
Metal siding
Brick veneer
EIFS

The correct answer is: Vinyl siding

Vinyl siding is commonly installed by first trimming out pre-made moldings, which are typically used to create a clean edge and finish where the siding meets different architectural features of a home, such as windows, doors, and corners. This method allows for a more aesthetically pleasing and weather-tight installation, as the moldings help to direct water away from seams and joints. The process generally involves installing a starter strip or trim around the perimeter, which provides a level and secure base for the vinyl siding to be attached. The vinyl panels are then interlocked and secured to this trim, ensuring a robust and visually appealing finish. Other types of exterior cladding, such as metal siding, brick veneer, and EIFS, follow different installation techniques that do not traditionally begin with trimming out pre-made moldings in the same manner as vinyl siding does.
