Goodbye, peeling paint.
Wood trim around your garage door takes a beating in Ottawa — sun, rain, snow, ice, and salt spray every winter. After 10–15 years it starts to peel, rot, and pull away from the wall. Aluminum capping wraps that wood with custom-bent aluminum coil stock, so it's weather-tight, looks clean, and never needs paint again.
We bend the aluminum on-site to match your trim profile, install with stainless fasteners, and seal every joint. Most jobs are completed in half a day.
Where capping makes sense
- Garage door frame and header — the most common job, especially during a new door installation
- Front door surround and porch posts
- Window sills and exterior frames
- Soffit and fascia sections that have rotted
- Brick mould — the trim between window/door frames and brick
Why aluminum capping
- Maintenance-free — no painting, ever
- Weather-tight — sealed joints, no water infiltration
- Custom-matched — we bend on-site to fit your trim profile and colour
- Pest-proof — keeps squirrels, mice, and birds from pulling at soft wood
- Adds curb appeal — clean, sharp lines that make the whole entry look new
What's included
Each capping job includes the on-site measure, custom bending, fastening, sealing of all joints, and clean-up. We also handle small repairs to underlying wood if it's rotten — we'll point those out during the quote so there are no surprises.
