How to repair the metal cover on the exterior door trim

repair

How do I fix it?! 😫 Its a thin metal material that's nailed onto a wood frame. I live on a rental property and am hoping to be able to get my deposit back with this repair. The guy at home depot said I need a contractor but it can't be that complicated.

A siding contractor could easily make a new piece of bent metal trim for you. But the cost would probably be 150-200 dollars.

Or you can order a custom bent piece in the same style and color from trimbender online. Take careful measurements and enter them under the matching profile. Select the texture and color and your done. They will make the piece and ship it to you. Or you could replace the door trim boards wit a pvc trim board of same size from big box stores.
