People Also Ask

What is a roof rake and why does it need aluminum protection?

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.
