Protect the most vulnerable edges of your roofline with our aluminum rake installation and repair services. The rake—the sloped edge of your roof over a gable—is a critical point where wind-driven rain and snow can penetrate your home’s structural framing.
Our expert team specializes in precision-fitting durable aluminum rake boards and wraps that provide a complete, watertight seal. Designed to withstand the unique weather challenges of the Northeast, our aluminum solutions eliminate the need for painting and prevent the wood rot and pest intrusion that often compromise traditional trim.
Invest in a resilient and maintenance-free finish for your home’s gables. We combine industrial-grade materials with master-level craftsmanship to ensure your roof’s edges are perfectly protected while providing a clean, sharp architectural definition that lasts for decades.
Aluminum rakes create an impenetrable shield that prevents water from wicking into the wooden rafter tails and roof deck, stopping structural rot before it starts.
Unlike wood trim that peels and cracks, our factory-finished aluminum rakes never require painting or staining. They resist UV fading and remain vibrant despite constant exposure to the elements.
Our precision-fitted aluminum wraps seal off gaps where birds, squirrels, and insects typically enter your attic, while providing a reinforced edge that resists high-wind uplift during severe storms.
The rake edges of a home are notoriously difficult to maintain and are often the first to show signs of weather damage and neglect. We understand the risk of leaving these high-reaching areas exposed; our aluminum rake systems provide the permanent, worry-free protection your property requires.

The rake is the finished edge of a sloped roof on a gable end. Because it is exposed to wind and rain at an angle, it is highly susceptible to water infiltration. Aluminum protection—often called rake wrap—covers the wooden boards to prevent moisture from causing rot and to eliminate the need for frequent painting in these hard-to-reach areas.
Look for signs of peeling paint, dark water stains, or visible wood decay along the slanted edges of your roof. If you see gaps between the trim and the roofline, or if birds and squirrels are entering your attic through the gables, it is time for a professional evaluation and an upgrade to aluminum protection.
In the Connecticut climate, aluminum is significantly superior to wood for rake edges. Wood is prone to absorbing moisture, which leads to rot and requires repainting every few years. Aluminum is completely waterproof, does not rust, and provides a maintenance-free finish that protects the underlying structure much more effectively.
Yes, if the underlying wood is still structurally sound, we can “wrap” the existing rake boards in high-quality aluminum. However, if the wood is rotted, we must replace the structural boards first to ensure a solid foundation before applying the custom-bent aluminum exterior.
The cost depends on the linear footage of your gables and the height of your home. While it is an investment in your home’s exterior, aluminum rakes are highly cost-effective because they eliminate the recurring costs of painting and prevent expensive structural repairs caused by wood rot.
Any homeowner looking to reduce exterior maintenance and improve the weatherproofing of their gables should invest in aluminum rakes. It is especially important for those with high-peaked roofs where painting is dangerous and for homes in coastal areas where salt air accelerates wood decay.
Absolutely. Because aluminum is a hard, non-organic material, it is much more difficult for pests like squirrels or woodpeckers to damage compared to soft, weathered wood. By sealing the gaps along the roof’s edge, we create a secure barrier that keeps wildlife out of your attic.
Most residential rake projects are completed within one to two days. Our team uses specialized “brakes” to custom-bend the aluminum on-site, ensuring a perfect fit for your home’s specific dimensions and providing an immediate boost to your property’s protection and curb appeal.
