A small crack in wood trim can lead to a hidden moisture issue in Capilano’s damp climate. Once the wood swells and splits, it invites decay and threatens the structural framing around your windows and doors.
Capping enhances curb appeal by giving older homes a crisp, finished look that paint can’t achieve. It frames each opening with clean lines while connecting sound wood to a modern, uniform exterior. This approach helps maintain your home’s character while ensuring it withstands local weather.

Durable Trim Solutions
The yearly cycle of scraping and painting takes up weekends and costs money, and the rain always wins.
Custom-bent aluminum wraps around your existing wood frames to create a sealed, weatherproof exterior that never needs paint. It stops moisture at the trim level before rot can start. The finish stays clean for decades with just an occasional rinse. See how window and door capping in Vancouver changes a recurring chore into a one-time fix.
Our crews measure every profile carefully on site and make the capping to fit your home’s exact trim shape. The shiplap corners drain water outward, and the baked-enamel coating resists UV and salt air without fading or chalking. It’s a simple overlay that protects the wood underneath while giving you a clean, uniform look that matches your siding or new color choice.
Capilano homes sit in a sheltered North Shore area, but the coastal damp still pushes moisture deep into painted trim.
Even neighborhoods below the fog line see trim swell and peel faster than areas with dry summers, so the right exterior protection is important. Aluminum capping solves this issue—it sheds water quickly and lets you forget about a paintbrush, even during the wettest winters. Our work in Capilano always considers the mature tree canopy because shaded trim dries slower and needs thorough sealing at every joint.
Many Capilano homes have mid-century designs with wide trim and angled sills that benefit from custom-formed metal. We bend on site to match those original lines, so the capping looks intentional rather than boxy. It also withstands the cedar debris and moss spores common in the area’s landscaping, which tend to hold moisture against raw wood and speed up deterioration.
Custom Bending in Capilano
We use .027-inch aluminum coil stock with a baked-enamel coating. This coating resists UV damage and salt air, which are common along the coast. Each piece is bent on site with a portable brake to match the exact shape of your home’s existing wood trim. This is important in Capilano, where many homes have wide, mid-century casings and angled sills that need custom angles. The shiplap corners are designed to shed water outward, and all seams are sealed with a high-grade sealant that stays flexible through temperature changes.
The capping acts as back-vented cladding. This means there is a small air gap behind the metal that lets trapped moisture evaporate instead of soaking into the wood. Our installers pay close attention to the bottom drip edge, forming a slight kick-out that directs water away from the trim and siding below. This method helps prevent capillary action that can draw moisture behind uncapped wood in Capilano’s damp conditions.
From a building perspective, window and door capping serves as a water-shedding layer that protects trim joints. In Capilano’s rainy winters, wind-driven moisture can get behind the siding. The capping overlaps the weather-resistive barrier and sits under the siding’s top course to keep a continuous drainage plane. This order ensures that any water that gets past the siding is directed outward at the trim, not inward.
We install a capillary break behind the metal, usually a thin spacer or corrugated profile, to stop water from sticking to the wood. Fasteners are placed only through the face of the capping where they are sealed, never through the top edge, to avoid creating a direct path for water. All horizontal joints have a sloped, overlapping splice that sheds water downhill, and the bottom edge is hemmed to strengthen the metal and create a clean drip line. These details keep the wood substrate dry and strong, even with the heavy moss and debris in the area.
