Peeling paint signals moisture has breached the wood. In our rainy climate, rot spreads quickly, weakening the frame. Left unchecked, it leads to costly repairs. That’s why capping matters for homes on Government Road.
Even if your trim looks fine, capping locks out moisture and eliminates repainting. The clean, custom-fit aluminum frames give your home a polished look that lasts. For homeowners here, that means one less exterior chore to worry about.

Protect Your Home's Exterior
Peeling paint and soft wood around your windows are not just cosmetic problems. They show that moisture is getting into your home’s exterior. If you don’t fix this, the trapped water can rot the trim and spread damage to the siding. Capping prevents this by wrapping the frames in a watertight aluminum barrier.
The aluminum is custom-bent to fit your trim and sealed tightly against the wall. This is the idea behind window and door capping in Vancouver: a lasting shield that never needs painting. Your wood stays dry, and your home’s curb appeal remains intact.
In Government Road, homes deal with the same heavy rain that is common in Burnaby. Moisture attacks wood trim all year, and the area’s mature trees often shade surfaces, making them slow to dry. This makes unprotected window and door frames especially prone to rot.
Many houses here were built years ago with wood trim that was not made for constant wetness. Aluminum capping gives those older frames a modern defense, shedding water before it can soak in. It’s a smart upgrade that fits the neighborhood’s style and weather.
Capping Installation Process
For homes on Government Road, the capping process begins with careful measurements of each window and door trim. We use heavy-gauge aluminum coil stock with a baked-on finish that resists moisture. A portable brake on site bends the metal to fit your wood trim perfectly, including the face, returns, and a drip edge. This custom shaping ensures a tight, gap-free fit that won’t trap water.
The aluminum is fastened with non-corrosive nails or screws, and all seams are sealed with a high-quality exterior sealant. In older homes on Government Road, trim often has multiple layers; our installers consider these variations to create a smooth, continuous cap. The capping is tucked behind the siding or sealed against it, forming a shingled overlap that directs rain away.
In a wet climate like Government Road’s, the building envelope needs strong defenses. Window capping acts as a rainscreen over the wood trim, blocking wind-driven rain and directing it away from the substrate. A small air gap behind the aluminum allows moisture to drain and dry, which helps prevent rot.
The top edge of the capping is flashed under the existing weather-resistive barrier or siding, while the bottom edge is left open or has weep holes to release water. This drainage plane is important during the rainy season. Fasteners are placed in the trim’s outer edges, away from the main water path, to keep the envelope intact. The result is a durable, low-maintenance shield that keeps homes on Government Road dry.
Permit Requirements for Capping
Under Burnaby Building Bylaw 2016, any exterior work that changes the building envelope, like window and door capping that is more than a minor repair, requires a building permit. For a home in Government Road, simple non-structural metal or vinyl capping over existing frames is usually seen as minor exterior repair and typically does not need a permit. However, you should check if your project counts as an alteration instead of maintenance.
City guidance explains that capping that does not change window or door openings is generally considered minor non-structural repair and does not require a permit. However, capping that involves enlarging openings, fully replacing all windows, or broader envelope work on multi-family buildings will need permits and professional review.
We worked on a local school in Government Road. Their window and door trim had peeling paint and early rot from coastal moisture on several buildings. This damage could have led to more problems. We completed the capping one building at a time. We coordinated with their staff around drop-off and pickup times while wrapping each exterior trim opening. The window and door capping sealed the exposed wood. Now, their maintenance staff does not have to deal with peeling paint and spreading rot.

Peeling paint and rotting wood trim around windows and doors can let moisture in. Our custom aluminum capping seals out rain and stops the need for repainting. We use heavy-gauge aluminum coil with a baked-on finish, shaped on site to fit your trim tightly. It has sealed seams and a drainage plane that directs water away. On Government Road, heavy rain and shade from mature trees keep wood trim wet, making older homes more likely to rot.
