Abstract
Trim system devices and methods for building surfaces, such as exterior surfaces with building panels.

The trim system readily assembles and overhangs relatively rigid building panels without tools or precision cuts. In some embodiments, the trim system may be mounted at a building corner.

A trim system comprising:
- a base trim panel comprising a base portion configured to be mounted to a building surface, and a receiver arm extending substantially orthogonally away from a first side of the base portion comprising a receiver portion at a distal end thereof, wherein the receiver portion provides a convex surface configured to engage a retention portion of a top trim panel, and
- the top trim panel comprising an outer portion comprising a first outer leg and a second outer leg disposed substantially perpendicular to the first outer leg;
- and an inner portion comprising a first inner leg and a second inner leg;
- wherein the first inner leg comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion and a retention portion formed between the proximal portion and the distal portion defining a concave pocket between the first outer leg and the first inner leg for engagement with the receiver portion of the base trim panel;
- wherein the second inner leg extends from the second outer leg and is substantially adjacent to and parallel to the second outer leg and defines an overhang portion.
