Delaying window and door capping lets water creep behind swollen trim. The real trouble starts when rot takes hold of the framing. By the time you spot the damage, the repair bill is climbing.
This project also eliminates the need for scraping and repainting weathered frames. Homes in this coastal climate need a finish that withstands salt air and rain without fading. A tight aluminum wrap provides that low-maintenance look for decades.

Protect Your Trim from Damage
Wood trim around windows and doors absorbs moisture. This can cause swelling, staining, and rot. Capping protects that trim with custom aluminum, preventing water damage before it starts.
With window and door capping in Vancouver, we measure and create aluminum cladding to fit each frame perfectly. This gives you a maintenance-free exterior. The result is trim that stays dry and looks great year after year.
In West Bay, homes deal with constant rain and salty air. Without proper protection, window and door trim can wear out quickly, hurting both looks and structure.
Many West Bay homes have traditional wood details that need a strong, low-maintenance solution. Capping keeps that style while removing the need for constant scraping and repainting.
Capping Process in West Bay
Aluminum capping in West Bay starts with heavy-gauge coil stock that resists damage from salt-laden winds. We bend each piece on site using a portable brake. This forms a profile that wraps the existing wood trim completely—face, bottom edge, and a return leg tucked behind the siding. This custom-fit method means no visible fasteners on the face, which is important where wind-driven rain could follow a nail into the wood.
For windows, the capping order is important: the sill pan goes on first, lapped under the side casings. This way, moisture running down the jamb drains outward, not behind the trim. Door frames get a similar treatment, with the head casing sloped to shed water and the side legs notched at the bottom to sit over the sill cap. We use a trim coil with a factory-applied PVDF coating for West Bay homes because the standard polyester finish breaks down too quickly under UV exposure and marine moisture.
Common architectural styles here—ranch-style bungalows and West Coast contemporary builds—often have wider fascia-style trim around windows. This requires a deeper brake bend and sometimes a two-piece cap with a hidden lap joint. This allows the metal to expand and contract without buckling. The aluminum is slightly undercut at all miters to leave a clean, closed corner that won’t open up as the house moves through wet and dry seasons.
In West Bay, the area around windows and doors often gets wet from rain and dries slowly due to high humidity. Capping acts as a protective layer over the original wood trim, stopping bulk water before it soaks into the wood. The key detail is how the capping fits with the weather-resistant barrier behind the siding. We make sure the back leg of the metal tucks behind the building paper or housewrap so any water that gets past the siding is directed down and out.
The drainage plane principle applies at every opening. A properly capped sill extends past the trim’s face and includes a small drip edge to stop water from wicking back toward the wall. The head casing capping also has a drip leg, and the side pieces overlap like shingles—top over bottom—so gravity helps the assembly. Given the wind exposure many West Bay properties face, fastening patterns shift to the underside of the trim where possible, keeping penetrations out of the direct wetting area.
Thermal movement is another factor. Temperature changes between damp winter mornings and sunny summer afternoons cause the aluminum to expand and contract. The capping is secured with a slip-fit rather than a rigid connection, allowing the metal to move slightly against the wood. This prevents oil-canning and fastener pop that could let moisture behind the cap, which would defeat the assembly’s purpose.
