LF Builders specializes in aluminum work — it’s been a core part of our business for decades alongside interlock and waterproofing. Here’s what Toronto homeowners should know.
What Is Aluminum Capping?
Aluminum capping (sometimes called “aluminum wrapping” or “aluminum cladding”) is the process of covering exterior wood trim components with pre-painted aluminum coil stock. A skilled aluminum worker custom-bends the aluminum on-site to fit each profile perfectly.
What Gets Capped
- Fascia boards (the horizontal trim along the roofline)
- Soffit (underside of the roof overhang)
- Window surrounds, casing, and sills
- Door frames and surrounds
- Corner boards and rakes
- Garage door frames
Why Homeowners Do It
The main reason: eliminate exterior painting forever on capped surfaces. Properly installed aluminum capping lasts 25–40+ years with essentially zero maintenance. For Toronto homes with multiple trim details and complicated Victorian profiles, the painting cost savings add up quickly.
What It Costs (Toronto 2026)
- Full soffit and fascia replacement (typical detached home): $4,000–$10,000
- Window capping (all windows): $2,000–$5,000
- Full aluminum package (soffit, fascia, windows, doors): $6,000–$15,000
Finding the Right Aluminum Contractor
Aluminum work is a skilled trade — a sloppy installation shows immediately and can trap moisture if done wrong. Ask to see recent work and previous projects.
