Garage door aluminum capping (also called aluminium capping or jamb cladding) wraps your existing wooden door frame in maintenance-free metal. It protects against rot, peeling paint, and winter moisture — especially on older Ottawa homes where jambs sit against brick, stone, or vinyl siding.

What is garage door aluminum capping? Aluminum capping (aluminium capping) is custom-bent metal trim that covers the wooden jambs and header around your garage door opening. It protects against moisture and rot and gives a finished, maintenance-free exterior.
How much does aluminum capping cost in Ottawa? Most jobs run $550–$850 depending on frame size — single-car openings are on the lower end; wider double-door frames and extra wood prep toward the upper end. We provide a written quote before work starts.
Can you cap jambs that are already rotting? Yes — if the structural wood is still sound we remove loose material, treat the area, and cap over it. Severely rotted sections may need partial wood replacement first; we explain that on site.
How long does installation take? Typical single-car capping takes 2–4 hours. Double doors or heavy rot repair may take a full day.
Is aluminum capping the same as a new door frame? No. Capping covers your existing frame. Full jamb replacement is a larger project — we’ll tell you honestly if capping is enough or if new door installation makes more sense.
