Rotting wood looks bad and invites mold. Dampness spreads into the frame, compromising the seal around the glass. You end up chasing drafts instead of enjoying the view from your home.
This work also enhances your home’s resilience against coastal storms. The aluminum protects vulnerable areas from driving rain and salt air, preventing deterioration that leads to foggy windows and sticking sashes.

Protect Your Trim
Rotting wood trim needs more than paint. It needs a lasting shield. We cover your window and door frames with custom-bent aluminum. This seals out the rain that causes decay.
Our team removes damaged wood, flashes the substrate, and installs heavy-gauge aluminum that locks tight at every corner. The result is a trim profile that looks sharp and never needs scraping or repainting. It’s a simple fix for a common problem, and we’ve improved our method over years of window and door capping in Vancouver.
West Vancouver homes deal with constant moisture from Howe Sound. Fog, salt air, and heavy rain soak into exposed wood trim. Without protection, rot starts early and happens quickly.
Many homes here sit on shaded, steep lots where siding and frames don’t dry out completely. Aluminum capping stops that cycle. It sheds water right away and resists salt corrosion, keeping your West Vancouver exterior looking fresh year after year.
Aluminum Capping Installation Process
We make the capping on site from coil stock, usually .024 or .032 gauge pre-painted aluminum. The thicker .032 gauge is better at resisting dents, which helps West Vancouver homes where falling branches and wind-driven debris are common in the wet season.
The brake operator measures each piece of trim and bends the metal to fit tightly around the existing profile. We add a slight slope on all horizontal surfaces so water runs off instead of pooling against the house.
For the coastal air, we choose factory-finished aluminum with a strong PVDF or high-grade polyester coating. This paint system can handle the salt-laden moisture from Howe Sound without chalking or fading too soon.
The capping serves as a protective layer for the wood trim, creating a barrier that stops water from soaking into the original material. In West Vancouver’s damp climate, this separation is important because wood can stay wet for months without it.
We connect the capping with the existing building paper or housewrap behind the siding, tucking the back leg of the metal behind the weather-resistant barrier when we can. This overlapping method ensures any moisture that gets behind the capping is directed outward and downward, preventing it from getting trapped against the sheathing.
All joints and corners are overlapped to shed water and left unsealed at the bottom to allow for drainage and drying. This open-joint drainage method stops trapped condensation that can speed up rot on shaded West Vancouver lots with limited sun exposure.
