Odd question, but looking for photos of your steel building trim installed for garage door, man door and exterior corners.
Horizontal siding if that matters.
Contractor 'finished' today and it all looks wrong to me, doesn't fully cover seams, warped, etc.

How about you post a few pics?

Horizontal metal siding sounds.... different. But generally the trim should start behind the siding and then wrap around to cover the edge. There's specific profiles depending on where/what is being done.

Trim on horizontal siding can be a problem. There should be lots of outside clousers involved and corners will be a simple 90 degree piece. Good luck.

Tin ran horizontal is the cheap way. I've done it before on a storage building. There's gonna be gaps but it still keeps the weather off stuff.

Not what you would want if you have any plans for an insulated/sealed building
