A system and method of securing and finishing exterior siding panels. The system includes a bracket mounted on an adjacent surface, a snap-in trim piece, and a siding panel covering a wall. The snap-in trim piece includes an extender having a plurality of crimps for interlocking with a hook at the end of the bracket. Additionally, the snap-in trim piece includes, at another end, a snap-in trim fastener for contacting the siding panel to the wall. Wires or cables may be run through a gap between the snap-in trim piece and a corner where the bracket and the siding panel meet. Additionally, the snap-in trim piece may also act as a trim sectional with coordinating colors to match and accentuate the beauty of the siding panels.
