John's Window Capping
When new windows were installed in this older home the existing openings were used to receive the new custom built vinyl windows. This allowed the homeowner to purchase a more affordable installation package as the inside finishing and window frames were left intact. No further modifications were necessary to this home, inside or out. After the relatively simple window installation was complete "John's Window Capping" was contracted to finish the exterior with pre-painted aluminum cladding. Due to the larger exposed surfaces, made necessary by the retrofit windows, a "woodgrain" embossed aluminum material was used for this cladding installation. The homeowner felt this was the right choice for this particular job although conventional smooth material would have been fine as well. This homeowner remarked at how easy and affordable it had been to have new windows and window capping installed with very little mess or disruption. The rest of the windows in this home will be finished in the future. Many homeowners choose to complete exterior renovations over a period of time rather than all at the same time. This seems to make it a little more enjoyable to do long awaited home improvements as the expense and necessary details are spread out into manageable portions. Less stress, more enjoyment. Aluminum capping is an important part of any new window installation.
Without cladding this homeowner would not be able to eliminate maintenance. Vinyl windows are maintenance-free but the wood frames require frequent, and costly, maintenance. Cladding to the wood frames has eliminated maintenance and this home-owner can throw away the paint brushes for good.
Paint was not a viable option for these windows. The homeowner was seeking a low-maintenance and affordable solution after deciding to have new vinyl windows installed. Cladding was a welcome solution for this homeowner.
Low-maintenance, affordablility and an attractive alternative to wood are some of the benefits provided when you choose cladding by John's Window Capping
