Once water gets behind failing siding, it works into the structure beneath, warping sheathing and inviting mold to take hold on your exterior walls. Proper siding installation here means repairs stay manageable instead of becoming a gut job.
New siding also modernizes a home’s curb appeal in a neighborhood where property values and visual standards are high. Updating an older heritage-style exterior or refreshing a contemporary townhouse, the right panels and finish can enhance how the building looks from the street.

Fixing damaged siding
When siding cracks, trapped moisture is often the cause. A good system directs water away from the sheathing, keeping the walls dry all year.
We take off the old siding and check the underlayment for hidden moisture. Then we install a rain screen and put on new siding with sealed ends and flashing. This creates a strong, breathable layer that handles coastal rain and resists salt damage—exactly what siding in Vancouver needs.
Homes and low-rise buildings in Downtown Vancouver face constant moisture. Close lot lines, street-level splashback, and salt from the harbor make siding work harder here than in drier areas.
Many buildings in this area are from the early 1900s, and their original wood siding wasn’t made for today’s rainfall. Replacing it means picking a material that can handle moisture without warping. Downtown Vancouver properties also experience wind-driven rain against taller walls, so the order of house wrap, furring strips, and siding must be exact.
Siding Installation Techniques
In Downtown Vancouver, fiber cement lap siding and metal panel systems are popular choices for durability. Both types resist moisture and salt exposure. However, metal siding needs a high-grade coastal finish to avoid corrosion. Some metal profiles use hidden fasteners, which reduce the chances of leaks.
For a standard rain screen, we attach vertical 1×4 pressure-treated furring strips over a new, vapour-permeable housewrap. This setup creates a 3/4-inch air gap that stops capillary action and drains any water that gets behind the siding. At window edges, we tape the housewrap to the framing and install sill pans with end dams. We also overlap the siding cuts to create shadow lines that direct water outward.
A pressure-equalized rain screen system is crucial for tall buildings in Downtown Vancouver. Wind gusts against the building can create pressure differences that pull moisture into open joints. The cavity allows air to flow and equalize pressure. Any water that gets in hits the drainage plane and flows down by gravity, exiting through weep screeds at the bottom.
We install building paper in a shingle style and tape all seams and cuts to form a continuous water-shedding surface. Flashings at windows and service penetrations are placed under the housewrap to direct water outward. We use structural screws to attach furring strips to the studs at close intervals to withstand wind loads. All exposed fasteners are corrosion-resistant to handle salt-laden air. The open gap also vents moisture vapour from behind the siding, which helps prevent rot.
