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.
Permit and Noise Regulations
Before capping windows or doors, you may need a building permit from the District of West Vancouver under Building Bylaw No. 5340, 2024 if the work changes the building envelope or could affect water penetration. The capping must follow the BC Building Code and local standards.
Construction noise for capping work is allowed Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No noisy work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays, according to Noise Control Bylaw No. 4404, 2005. For residential work, on-site activities must also follow the District’s Traffic Management Guidelines.
A recent project we completed involved capping the windows and doors of a school in West Vancouver. The wooden trim had started to rot and let moisture in, which could harm the building. We replaced the damaged wood with custom aluminum cladding on several buildings. We worked around their daily schedule so classes could continue without interruption. Now, staff do not worry about maintenance, and their campus stays secure and protected during wet coastal winters.
Local Support for Capping
Window and door capping in West Vancouver is a regular part of our work. We usually get to most jobs from downtown Vancouver by taking West Georgia Street, crossing the Lions Gate Bridge, and passing Park Royal. The drive takes about 15 to 25 minutes. While we are in the area, we buy aluminum trim, fasteners, and sealants from local hardware stores like Simpson Home Hardware and North Vancouver Home Hardware. This helps keep our spending in the West Vancouver community and supports the people we serve.
