Exteriors
Wrap it once.
Never paint it again.
Capping is the detail that decides whether an exterior job looks finished or looks close. Aluminum coil bent on site to the exact profile of your trim, folded around the wood and locked so water sheds off it instead of sitting on it.
Scope
What capping includes
Windows, doors, garage openings, rakes, fascia, frieze boards — anything wooden and exposed.
- Trim inspected first — rotten wood gets replaced, not wrapped over
- Coil bent on site on a brake to the exact profile of your trim
- Sills capped with a drip so water runs off, not back toward the glass
- Head, jambs and brickmould wrapped with tight, clean folds and hems
- Colour matched to the siding, soffit and fascia
- Sealed at the terminations, and only where sealant belongs
- Nothing face-nailed where it will show
The difference
Why capping is worth doing
The painting stops
Exposed exterior wood in this climate wants scraping and repainting every few years, and nobody does it on schedule. Capped trim is done. That is the whole pitch and it is a good one.
The rot stops with it
Wrapping is not just cosmetic — a properly capped sill sheds water away from the wall instead of soaking into end grain. It is one of the cheapest ways to stop a window frame going soft.
Bent here, not bought
Coil goes through the brake on your driveway, cut to your house. That is why it fits tight around an old Philadelphia window that is not square anymore — nothing off a shelf would.
