What capping does
It finishes the exterior—but it should not hide damage.
Before capping is installed, the existing trim and surrounding materials should be checked for movement, rot, water entry or other conditions that need repair.
Match the new window or door
Colour and profile are selected to work with the unit, brick, siding and surrounding details.
Address problems before covering
Soft wood, leaks or damaged substrates should be repaired rather than concealed behind new metal.
Where it is used
Capping is shaped for the specific opening.
Profiles are bent to suit the window or door, exterior return, brickmould and water-shedding details rather than using a one-size-fits-all piece.

- Entry-door brickmould and trim

Frequently asked questions
Helpful details before requesting a quote.
Can capping be installed over rotten wood?
Rot or other substrate damage should be repaired first. Capping is a finish, not a structural repair.
Can you cap existing windows without replacing them?
Sometimes. The condition and shape of the existing opening must be reviewed to determine whether standalone capping is appropriate.
What colours are available?
Common window and door colours are available, with the final choice depending on the aluminum supplier and project.
Is capping included with every installation?
Not automatically. The quote should state whether exterior capping, brickmould, caulking or other finishing is included.
How do I get a capping quote?
Send close exterior photos of each opening and wider photos showing the surrounding brick, siding or trim.
Does capping stop every leak?
No. Water entry can come from several parts of the wall or opening. The source should be assessed before relying on a new exterior finish.
