Skin existing wood or concrete porch columns in factory-finished aluminum. Maintenance-free, color-matched to your railings, looks and weathers like the rest of your aluminum installation. The cleanest way to finish a porch project.

Aluminum column wraps are a finished aluminum skin that goes around an existing structural post — usually wood (4×4, 6×6, 8×8) or sometimes a concrete-filled steel pipe. The wrap doesn't carry the load; the wood or steel inside it does. We're finishing the column, not replacing it.
Total install time: about 30 minutes per column once on site. Most porches have 2–4 columns and are wrapped in a single morning while the railings are being installed.
The cap and base have weep details that let any incidental water out. The wood inside doesn't see direct rain or snow once wrapped — it sees less moisture than it did unwrapped. The failure mode for wrapped columns is when the wood was already rotted at install (we wouldn't wrap it) or when ground-level water wicks up through a missing base. Both are install-quality issues, not wrap design.
Yes — single-column installs are common for testing. Pricing: $420 includes site templating + one trip. If you proceed with the rest after, the per-column price drops because we're already there.
12' height, 10" square or 10" round are the practical limits before we move to a custom millwork process. Above those sizes, the wraps get heavy and the structural detailing changes — usually means a custom shop quote rather than calculator pricing.
