Aluminum Capping: Enhance the Look and Durability of Your Garage

Aluminum capping is a smart upgrade for your garage door’s exterior. It improves curb appeal while also providing lasting protection. This process covers the wooden trim around your garage door with a durable aluminum layer.

As a result, your trim is shielded from moisture, rot, and harsh weather. In addition, capping reduces the need for regular painting and upkeep. Because of its clean finish, it instantly boosts the look of your home.
