Why does traditional wood trim fail so quickly in Falmouth? Standard pine or cedar trim cannot withstand the relentless humidity, shade, and airborne salt of the Upper Cape micro-climate.
We strip failing trim down to the underlying structure to repair any hidden moisture damage before installing new materials.
We meticulously flash every joint, window casing, and roofline intersection, ensuring water is forcefully directed outward.
Using specialized adhesives and hidden fasteners, our in-house carpenters create a continuous, impenetrable barrier against harsh Cape Cod weather.
Should I just wrap my old trim in aluminum? Absolutely not. “Capping” old, decaying wood trim with thin aluminum is a disastrous shortcut in a coastal environment. While it looks clean initially, it permanently traps existing moisture inside the wood, creating a dark, damp incubator for rot and insect infestations.
Lions Siding & Roofing refuses to perform this band-aid fix. We remove the compromised wood entirely and replace it with solid, rot-proof materials to ensure the permanent health of your home’s envelope.
Whether you need salt-resistant materials in Woods Hole and East Falmouth, or historically accurate profiles in Falmouth Village and West Falmouth, our crews are ready.
We also proudly execute supervised installations in North Falmouth, Teaticket, Waquoit, and Hatchville.
