That would not be good enough for me. And now I think I need to bring my awesome siding guy donuts next week in appreciation.

Trim should have scarf joints. The joint should be very difficult to see when it has been painted.

Try hiring a real carpenter.

Not good enough... it is one thing to have some gaps in joints that a little caulk can take care of, but if two meeting pieces aren't even flush you can't fix that. You will always see that after paint. That second photo even the fascia board is beat to hell.

That looks sloppy and no amount of caulk is going to fix it.

A butt joint will always have issues. It should be a scarf joint, as RES shows above. But also important, it looks like someone went Liquid Nails happy with a butt joint. That’s a get off of my job site offense.

“Caulk and paint, make a carpenter what he ain’t’.”

Thank you all. That was pretty much my opinion but wanted to make sure I wasn't expecting too much.

Crown moldings especially need to have a scarf joint. They are not even difficult to make. No way are butt joints on crowns acceptable.
For the flat boards above the front porch, it looks like there will be a molding that will cover the horizontal joint between the boards, so the boards not being perfectly straight will probably not be noticeable.
I also believe they got a bit aggressive with the caulk. Caulk shouldn’t be rounded hardly at all. When it is rounded like that the caulk will dry out and the paint will crack and it will look poor. Most of what you point out would be re-done on my jobs.
Reminds me of the old carpenters joke “Do your best and caulk the rest.”

Thanks for the tip on the caulk.
