Capping is the process of covering exposed wood around windows and doors with durable aluminum or vinyl material.

Capping FAQ's

Can capping be installed over existing wood trim?2026-03-11T12:52:16-04:00

In most cases, yes — capping is installed directly over existing wood trim, provided the wood underneath is structurally sound. If there is significant rot or water damage, we’ll address that first to ensure a solid, lasting installation.

What is aluminum capping and do I need it?2026-03-11T12:51:38-04:00

Aluminum capping involves wrapping exposed wood trim around your windows, doors, and roofline with a pre-formed aluminum or vinyl cover. If your trim requires regular painting, shows signs of rot, or is pulling away from the frame, capping is a cost-effective long-term solution that eliminates ongoing maintenance.

How long does capping last?2026-03-11T12:51:57-04:00

Aluminum and vinyl capping typically lasts 20–30 years or more with minimal upkeep. Unlike painted wood trim, it won’t peel, crack, or rot — making it a durable, low-maintenance investment for Ontario homeowners.

Can you match the capping color to my existing siding?2026-03-11T12:52:34-04:00

Absolutely. We offer custom color matching to coordinate with your siding, soffit, fascia, and trim. We work with a wide range of colors and finishes to ensure a seamless, cohesive look.

Is capping worth it compared to repainting?2026-03-11T12:53:04-04:00

For most homeowners, capping pays for itself within a few years by eliminating the recurring cost of scraping, priming, and repainting exterior trim. It also provides superior weather protection that paint simply can’t match in Ontario’s climate.
