That damp draft means the frame and threshold are already softening. Wood wicks water every season, and a door that no longer sits square is harder to seal. Installing a new exterior door must address hidden damage, not just the visible gap.
A new entry can enhance curb appeal and change how your home looks from the street. A clean panel with updated glass creates a fresh impression without needing to replace siding or trim.

Weather-Tight Doors Installed Right
An old exterior door lets in more than just a chill. Gaps and warped frames allow drafts, moisture, and even pests to enter. This drives up energy bills and risks damage to your entryway. Replacing it with a properly installed, high-performance door turns that weak point into a sealed barrier against the elements.
It starts with a precise fit. Our team measures every opening to the millimetre. Then, we install a door slab and frame that close flush against premium weatherstripping. The result is a smooth-operating entry that stops air leaks and water intrusion year after year. For homeowners considering exterior door installation in Vancouver, this means lasting protection and a noticeable drop in drafts.
West Vancouver’s coastal climate puts exterior doors to the test. Persistent rain, salt-laden air, and sudden temperature changes can warp wood, rust hardware, and degrade seals faster than in inland areas. A door that isn’t made for these conditions will fail early, letting moisture and cold air seep in.
Many homes here sit on slopes or face the water, exposing entryways to driving wind and rain. That’s why we recommend fiberglass or steel doors with thermally broken frames and marine-grade finishes. These materials resist swelling, corrosion, and rot, keeping your West Vancouver home comfortable and dry no matter the season.
Installation Techniques
In West Vancouver, we start every new exterior door installation with a rot-resistant jamb. This jamb is usually made of composite or pressure-treated wood and is covered in aluminum or vinyl. This design helps prevent swelling and decay from water splashes and the damp air. We use stainless steel hinges and corrosion-resistant multipoint locks that can handle the coastal weather without rusting.
Our installation focuses on keeping water out. We place a rigid sill pan under the threshold, sloping it to direct any water away. The rough opening is carefully shimmed to keep the frame square. Then, we anchor it through the jamb to the structural framing with long fasteners. We fill any gaps with low-expansion foam, which does not distort the frame. The exterior trim is set in butyl tape that sticks to the house wrap, creating a drainage path behind the cladding.
We treat the door opening as an important part of the building’s envelope. The sill pan flashing overlaps the wall’s water-resistive barrier at the bottom, and head flashing goes over the top. This setup ensures that water flows down the wall and away from the door. All flashing depends on gravity to keep moisture out, not just sealant.
To keep the temperature steady, we use doors with a polyurethane foam core and a thermally broken sill and frame. This design stops cold from moving through and causing condensation on the inside during West Vancouver’s wet winters. Compression weatherstripping around the entire door and a raised backdam at the threshold create an air seal that prevents wind-driven rain from getting in while still allowing any water to drain outside.
Permit Requirements for West Vancouver
Construction noise from exterior door installation in West Vancouver is controlled by Noise Control Bylaw No. 4404, 2005. Work that creates noise, like cutting or drilling, is allowed Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Noisy work is not allowed on Sundays and statutory holidays.
For multi-family residential buildings in the District of West Vancouver, any changes to the exterior, including doors, need Planning Department approval before work starts. A permit must be obtained before installation.
