Aluminum Capping In Richmond VA & Surrounding Areas

Aluminum capping uses formed metal to cover suitable exterior trim. Professional Home Services offers aluminum capping installation in Richmond VA. A good plan identifies what will be covered and checks the condition of the underlying material first.

Select Capping Profiles And Finish

Compare finish color and the profiles around the areas being capped. Window and door details need to suit the adjacent siding and openings. The scope should explain which trim faces are included so the finished work is clear before installation.

Review each location being capped and how much of the existing trim face will be covered. Color and shape should suit adjacent siding and masonry.

Check The Underlying Trim First

Formed metal needs suitable joints and water shedding details. Capping should not be treated as proof that damaged wood underneath has been corrected. Assess the existing material and agree on any replacement work before covering it.

The estimate should distinguish capping from replacement of underlying material. Agree on how damaged surfaces will be handled before formed metal is installed.

Form Joints That Shed Water

Corners and seams need a consistent installation plan. Water should be directed outward at transitions rather than relying on a decorative face to hide the edge.
