> Aluminum cladding by Maxima Aluminum LTD wraps exterior wood — fascia boards, porch columns, exterior beams, post wraps, trim around windows and doors, and exterior bargeboard and rake details — protecting it from moisture, UV damage, and rot. 20+ years experience, 400+ verified reviews, 5-year workmanship warranty.

## What aluminum cladding does

Aluminum cladding wraps exterior wood surfaces in a permanent, pre-finished aluminum shell. It eliminates paint maintenance on the wrapped surface (no more annual scraping, priming, and repainting of fascia boards or column exteriors), seals against moisture (protects wood substrate from rot, mould, and freeze-thaw damage), resists UV fading (pre-finished aluminum retains colour far longer than painted wood), and coordinates exterior elements across cladding, soffit, fascia, eavestrough, and siding.

## Common cladding applications

### Fascia cladding
Wraps the existing wood fascia board in colour-matched aluminum. Most common cladding scope — typically combined with gutter and soffit work.

### Porch columns and post wraps
Wraps square or rectangular wood posts on front and back porches, carports, and covered entries. Preserves structural wood underneath, eliminates paint maintenance, and provides a clean architectural line.

### Exterior beams and headers
Wraps exposed wood beams at porch ceilings, carport headers, and pergolas.

### Window and door trim
Wraps the exterior wood casing around windows and doors. Often done during siding upgrades when the existing trim is sound but heavily painted or weathered.

### Bargeboard, rake, and ornamental trim
Wraps decorative wood details at roof gables, rake edges, and exterior trim accents. Particularly valuable on heritage homes.

## Premium application — cedar-to-aluminum cladding conversion

A specialty scope for Oakville executive homes: converting weathered cedar siding or cedar accent walls to long-life aluminum cladding. Preserves the architectural dimensional look while eliminating the 3–5 year cedar staining cycle. Typical project range: $6,000–$12,000 CAD.

## Install process

1. Assess existing wood condition — cladding requires sound substrate underneath
2. Repair any rot, soft wood, or structural issues before cladding
3. Pre-prime raw wood edges if needed (moisture barrier)
4. Cut and form aluminum cladding on-site with our brake for an exact fit
5. Fasten with concealed or colour-matched fasteners
6. Seal transitions and edges with colour-matched sealant
7. Final cleanup, magnetic fastener sweep

## Common questions

**Does cladding hide damaged wood underneath?** No — cladding protects sound wood from future damage, but it doesn't solve existing rot. We inspect and repair the substrate before cladding.

**Can cladding be removed later if I want to refinish the original wood?** Yes — aluminum cladding is fastened over the wood, not bonded, so it can be removed if needed.

**How is cladding different from siding?** Siding is the primary exterior wall surface. Cladding is an aluminum wrap applied over individual wood elements (fascia, columns, beams, trim).

**Will cladding match my existing gutters or soffit colour?** Yes — colour coordination across aluminum cladding, eavestrough, soffit, fascia, and downspouts is part of every quote.

**Warranty?** 5-year workmanship warranty on installation plus manufacturer material warranty on the aluminum coil.
