What is it called to change the trim around my garage door entrance?

The process of repairing the surrounding trim of a garage entry is called Aluminum Capping. Also known as Garage Entry Trim, this involves installing a layer of aluminum over the existing wood frame and trim of a garage door to protect it from the elements and reduce maintenance requirements.

Here are some of the benefits of aluminum capping for a garage entry:

Weather Resistance

Aluminum is highly resistant to weather damage, including rain, snow, and UV radiation. Installing aluminum capping can help protect the wood frame and trim of a garage door from moisture, which can cause rotting, warping, and other forms of damage.

Low Maintenance

Aluminum capping requires little to no maintenance compared to wood. It does not require painting, staining, or sealing, which can save homeowners time and money in the long run.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

New Garage Door Trim can give a garage door a sleek, modern look and enhance the overall curb appeal of a home. It comes in a variety of colors and finishes to complement any style of home.

The process of aluminum capping a garage entry typically involves measuring the existing wood frame and trim, cutting the aluminum to fit, and attaching it to the wood with adhesive and/or screws. It is recommended to work with a professional garage door installer or contractor who has experience with aluminum capping to ensure that the job is done correctly and to a high standard of quality.
