Paragon

Sick of constant paint touch-ups

Once exterior paint starts peeling, water creeps behind the trim and the wood underneath begins to swell. That quickly turns a spring repaint into rot repair. Capping protects your home’s window and door trim with maintenance-free aluminum.

It also enhances older homes with a cleaner, more finished edge without removing the original trim. The low-profile metal follows the existing frame, making the whole front elevation look sharper and more intentional.

Durable Trim Protection

Instead of repainting every spring, think about window and door capping for Vancouver homes. This method covers trim in aluminum.

Our team custom-bends the aluminum on site to fit your window and door frames perfectly. You get a low-maintenance shield that looks great for years without needing any upkeep.

Why It Matters in Coquitlam

Coquitlam’s wet climate speeds up wood rot and paint failure, making exterior trim hard to maintain. Protecting your home’s window and door frames helps avoid expensive structural damage.

Many homes in Coquitlam still have original wood trim that’s at risk from moisture. A capping solution sealed against the weather keeps your home dry and looking good all year.

Custom Aluminum Profiles

In Coquitlam, we install window and door capping using a portable brake for on-site bending. Our team feeds heavy-gauge aluminum coil through the brake to create custom profiles that fit your existing window and door trim. The aluminum is pre-finished with baked enamel, which helps it resist Coquitlam’s damp climate without peeling or fading.

We attach the capping with a small gap from the wood trim, using non-absorptive furring strips. This gap stops moisture from getting trapped against the wood. The overlaps follow a shingle pattern: the top cap overlaps the sides, and the bottom edge is open to let any trapped water drain out easily.

Effective Moisture Management

Coquitlam’s rainy climate needs a capping system that works with your home’s water-resistive barrier. We use the aluminum capping as a rainscreen to protect the wood trim from direct wetness while letting it dry. The gap behind the aluminum acts as a drainage and ventilation channel, allowing any moisture that gets past the lap edges to escape by gravity and airflow.

The top cap has a drip edge that directs water away from the window head. Side caps fit under this top cap to stop water from above from getting behind. All fasteners are placed through the outer face only, outside the window’s main seal, to avoid penetrating the sill or lower trim where water could gather. This design prevents wind-driven rain from pressurizing the drainage area and pushing water inside.

In Coquitlam’s windy spots, we add extra fasteners to secure the aluminum against strong gusts. We increase the number of fasteners along wide trim faces and at corners, always using stainless steel or coated fasteners that are rated for outdoor use. The metal laps stay open at the bottom, so no fastener holes let moisture into the important lower edge.

Capping Bylaws in Coquitlam

For typical window and door capping in Coquitlam, a building permit is not required if you are simply replacing exterior cladding on existing frames without changing window or door locations, adding floor area, or disturbing interior components like drywall, insulation, or ventilation. As long as Paragon Exteriors works only on the trim and keeps the openings the same, you likely won’t need a permit.

Window and door capping work must follow Coquitlam’s Noise Control Bylaw No. 1233, 1982. For contractors, construction noise is allowed only from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No noise-generating work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. The City’s Good Neighbour Construction guidelines state that construction noise is allowed only during these hours for contractors, while homeowners can work on their own property during additional hours.

Supporting Local Schools

We recently helped a local school in Coquitlam that had old wood trim around its windows and doors. This trim needed constant repainting and was letting moisture in. We worked with their staff to install capping on several buildings without disrupting their daily activities. We used custom aluminum to cap every problem area. Now, those parts of the exterior are maintenance-free, so they can focus on what matters without worrying about moisture damage during the wet season.

Local Logistics for Capping

We regularly do window and door capping in Coquitlam. We can get there quickly using Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge. The trip usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes from Downtown Vancouver through Burnaby. While we are in the area, we buy materials from local suppliers like POCO Building Supplies and Lee Valley. This helps support the community we work in.
