The Anatomy of Quality Capping.

  • Custom-Bent Precision:
    We don't use off-the-shelf pieces. Every piece of aluminum is custom-bent on-site using a brake to perfectly contour to your specific window and door profiles.
  • Superior Weatherproofing:
    Capping creates a watertight shell over your wood trim, preventing rain and snow from seeping into your home's framing and causing structural rot behind your walls.
  • Energy Efficiency Seal:
    Combined with professional exterior caulking, wrapping your casings blocks drafty air leaks around your openings, helping to lower your heating and cooling bills.
  • Zero Maintenance:
    Never scrape, sand, or paint your exterior trim again. Premium aluminum resists fading, chalking, and cracking, looking brand new for decades.

WHEN TO CAP

Best for older siding showing widespread wear or high energy bills.
  • Tired of Maintenance: You are sick of spending your weekends scraping, sanding, and repainting peeling exterior window and door frames.
  • Wood is Weathering: Your wood frames are starting to show signs of wear, splintering, or minor surface weathering (which we treat before wrapping).
  • Curb Appeal Upgrade: You want a crisp, clean, modern look that dramatically enhances the visual appeal of your home's entryways.

Niagara Roofing FAQ

Clickable icon to expand Niagara roofing frequently asked questions.

What exactly is window and door capping?

Capping (also known as cladding) is the process of applying custom-formed aluminum sheeting over your home's exterior wood trim. It acts as a protective, weather-resistant shell around your window frames, door casings, and garage doors.

Can you cap over rotten wood?

We never cap over structurally compromised or severely rotted wood. If the frame is failing, capping it will just trap the moisture and accelerate the rot. We always replace rotting sections with fresh wood before applying the aluminum wrap to ensure a permanent, solid fix.

Do I still need to paint capped trim?

No! That is the biggest benefit of capping. The aluminum comes with a factory-baked finish that will never peel, flake, or blister. You can put your paintbrushes and ladders away for good.

Will capping make my windows more energy efficient?

Yes. When we cap your windows and doors, we finish the job by sealing the edges with high-grade exterior caulking. This completely closes the gaps between your brick/siding and the window frame, stopping drafts and keeping out moisture.
