Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Buy the box size closest to your measured trim footage; the 750 LF box offers the best value on whole-house trim packages. Drive screws consistently and set plugs flush for a clean, paint-free finish on white PVC trim. On thicker trimboard profiles, step up to the 2-3/4 in. screw to ensure adequate penetration into framing.
Wear eye protection when driving fasteners and follow the fastening pattern and spacing in the manufacturer's installation instructions.
