Paragon

Frustrated by constant maintenance

A fresh coat lasts one season before water pushes through the caulked seams. The wood swells, gaps reopen, and trim needs constant scraping. That cycle is why custom capping matters.

This solution also enhances curb appeal for new windows and doors. The metal trim maintains its lines and color for years. Homes in this area require far less upkeep.

Durable Window and Door Trim

Window and door trim faces rain and humidity every day. When water gets behind the paint, you end up scraping, priming, and repainting every year or two.

Paragon covers each piece of trim with precision-bent aluminum that keeps moisture out. This window and door capping in Vancouver means you won’t need to paint or patch your window frames again.

Challenges of Deer Lake Weather

Deer Lake’s damp air and heavy rain speed up wood rot around unprotected trim. Any break in paint can let in water, and damage can hide until it’s too late.

Homes in Deer Lake—especially those built before the 1980s—often have old wood window frames that can’t keep out BC’s constant wetness. Custom capping wraps them in a watertight shell that lasts through every storm.

Capping Technique for Deer Lake

For homes in Deer Lake, we start by removing any rotten wood and treating the remaining wood with a preservative. Next, we measure each window or door casing carefully, considering the specific trim styles and any unevenness common in older Deer Lake homes. Using a portable brake, we bend pre-finished aluminum coil stock, usually .024-inch thick with a baked-on coating, into a shape that matches the existing trim. The capping has a drip edge at the top and a slight slope to help water run off quickly, which is important in Deer Lake’s rainy weather. All joints overlap by at least two inches and are sealed with a high-quality exterior sealant. We place fasteners only on the underside or hidden flanges to prevent new water entry points, making sure the whole assembly acts as a continuous shield.

Moisture Defense for Deer Lake

In Deer Lake’s wet climate, the capping is a vital part of the building’s rain-screen system. The aluminum layer creates a barrier that stops moisture from soaking into the wood trim, while the air gap behind it lets any condensation drain downward. We overlap horizontal joints so that each upper piece covers the lower one, directing water outward and down. Vertical joints are positioned away from the direction of the wind-driven rain common in Metro Vancouver, which helps reduce the risk of water getting behind the cladding. The capping works with the existing house wrap or building paper to keep a continuous drainage path. We make sure the bottom edge of the capping is left unsealed so that any moisture that gets behind can escape, preventing hidden rot.

Deer Lake Permit Requirements

Burnaby Building Bylaw No. 13658 requires a building permit for work it regulates. This includes exterior window and door capping when the work affects structural elements, fire resistance, exiting, or other safety features. For a home in Deer Lake, Paragon Exteriors must check with Burnaby Building Permits to see if the specific capping work needs a permit.

Burnaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw 1979 (Consolidated) limits when exterior window and door capping can take place in Deer Lake. Work cannot start before 7:00 a.m. or continue after 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, before 9:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. Saturday, and is not allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Crews must also keep noise within the bylaw’s maximum level of around 85-87 dBA at or near the property line.

City of Burnaby Permits & Applications requirements state that a building permit is needed for regulated work. Applicants should contact the Building Permits department to confirm. For residential window and door capping in Deer Lake, Paragon Exteriors must check if the planned metal capping is cosmetic and exempt, or if it is part of a regulated alteration to windows, doors, or exterior cladding that requires a permit before work begins.

Local School Capping Project

At a school in Deer Lake, old window trim was allowing moisture into several classrooms. This caused paint to fail and raised the risk of wood rot. We planned a window and door capping project for the campus. We worked around class times and after-school activities to keep every entrance dry and sealed. Now, their buildings are better protected from our wet coastal weather, with no interruptions to learning. This is the kind of reliable work we do in our community.

Deer Lake Capping Overview

Peeling paint and wood rot around window and door trim in Deer Lake can be a constant problem. We wrap frames in custom-fit aluminum capping to keep moisture out. We remove rotten wood, treat the remaining wood, and bend pre-finished aluminum coil into a watertight shell with a drip edge and sealed joints. Deer Lake’s damp air and heavy rain make this protection important, especially for homes built before 1980. Before we start, we check with Burnaby Building Permits and follow noise rules (7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, no work on Sundays). Standard aluminum capping costs between CAD $1,200 and $6,000, while custom-formed capping costs between CAD $2,500 and $12,000. We can usually reach your Deer Lake home in 20 to 30 minutes.
