Overcash Siding installs and wraps exterior trim on homes throughout Novi, MI. Trim frames windows, doors, corners, and rooflines, and wrapping wood trim and fascia in aluminum coil stock seals it against water and eliminates the repainting cycle. Well-detailed trim is where a siding job looks finished and stays weather-tight. Estimates are free.
Trim is the finish work that makes a siding project look complete, and it is also where a lot of water intrusion is either stopped or invited in. The trim around windows, doors, corners, and along the roofline covers the transitions where different materials meet, and those transitions are exactly the spots where wind-driven Michigan rain looks for a way in. Sharp, properly sealed trim is not just aesthetic.
Fascia wrap, sometimes called capping, is a specific and popular service: we cover exposed wood trim and fascia with custom-bent aluminum coil stock. The aluminum is formed on site to fit, then fastened and sealed, giving the wood a maintenance-free, weatherproof jacket. It ends the endless scraping and repainting that wood trim demands and protects the wood underneath from the moisture that causes rot.
When Exterior Trim or Wrapping Is Needed
- Peeling, cracking, or faded paint on wood trim and fascia
- You are tired of repainting exterior wood every few years
- Trim around windows and doors is rotting or letting water in
- You are re-siding and want coordinated, finished trim details
- Corners, rooflines, or transitions look worn or unsealed
- You want a crisp, low-maintenance exterior finish
What Fascia and Trim Wrap Involves
Wrapping is precision sheet-metal work. We measure each trim board and fascia run, then bend aluminum coil stock on a brake to match the exact profile, folding clean corners and returns so the metal fits tight. The wrap is fastened and the seams sealed so water cannot get behind it. Done well, it looks like painted trim but never needs painting and never rots.
The color is baked into the coil stock, so it holds up to Michigan sun far better than field-applied paint, and it comes in a wide range of shades to match or complement your siding. Because the wood underneath is fully jacketed, it is protected from the freeze-thaw moisture cycling that peels paint and rots exposed wood trim over time.
Why Trim Detailing Protects the Whole House
Every place your siding stops, at a window, a door, a corner, or the roofline, is a transition that must shed water. Trim covers and seals those transitions. When it is installed and caulked correctly, water runs off and away; when it is sloppy or unsealed, water tracks behind it into the wall, and the damage often shows up far from where it entered.
This is why we treat trim as part of the weatherproofing system, not an afterthought tacked on at the end. Proper flashing behind the trim, correct overlaps, and quality sealant at the joints are what keep a Novi home dry through driving rain and snowmelt. Good trim is quiet, crisp, and does its job for decades without you thinking about it.

What Affects Exterior Trim & Wrap Cost in Novi
Trim and wrap cost depend on the linear footage, the detail of the profiles, and any rot repair underneath. These are the factors.
- Linear footage
- The total run of trim and fascia to wrap or install drives labor and material.
- Profile complexity
- Intricate window surrounds and detailed profiles take more bending and time.
- Rot repair
- Rotted wood found before wrapping must be repaired first.
- Coil stock and color
- The gauge and color of aluminum coil stock affect material cost.
- Height and access
- Roofline and second-story trim require staging and more labor.
