Paragon
In Steveston, a shabby entrance can keep your basement suite vacant longer. A neglected door and siding lead potential tenants to assume the inside is just as uninviting.
Choosing durable materials protects your suite from the area’s damp, salty air. Quality siding and a well-sealed door prevent moisture damage and lower maintenance needs.

Revitalize Your Suite's Entrance
A worn entrance can make even the best suite feel uninviting. Paragon Exteriors focuses on the outside—replacing old doors and faded siding so your basement suite’s first impression is bright and clean.
We install strong, weather-resistant exterior doors and low-maintenance siding that can handle daily use. For basement suite upgrades in Vancouver, we manage everything from start to finish. This gives you a fresh, welcoming entry that improves curb appeal and protects your home from the weather.
Steveston’s salty air and damp winters can quickly wear down exterior finishes. A strong, well-sealed entrance is important for any basement suite in this seaside village.
Many homes in Steveston have secondary suites that need to match the area’s historic look. We select materials and colors that honor that heritage while offering lasting protection. See how we help Steveston homeowners with exterior work that fits the neighborhood.
Durable door and siding solutions
We replace the old suite door with a pre-hung fiberglass unit in a composite frame. This design stops wood from swelling in Steveston’s damp air. A sloped aluminum sill pan and flexible flashing work with the drainage plane to direct water away.
We use fiber-cement siding around the entrance to resist salt-laden moisture. Stainless steel fasteners help prevent rust. We seal all joints with high-solids polyurethane caulk that stays flexible during coastal temperature changes.
A ventilated rainscreen is placed behind the siding to create a capillary break and drainage channel. In Steveston’s wet winters, this air space helps the wall dry evenly from both sides, stopping moisture from getting trapped.
At the basement entrance, the water-resistive barrier wraps continuously from the wall into the door opening. The sill pan is lapped under the WRB. The landing pad slopes outward to make sure no standing water reaches the threshold.
Richmond basement suite regulations
In Steveston, Richmond’s Zoning Bylaw No. 8500 allows one secondary suite per detached home, as long as it is completely inside the main house and does not look like a separate unit from the street. The city’s Building-22 bulletin sets size limits: the suite must be at least 33 m² and no larger than 40% of the home’s total floor area or 120 m². Any exterior changes, like a separate entrance or extra windows, must keep the home looking like a single-family dwelling. This requirement directly affects your design choices.
Converting a basement into a suite or significantly changing its exterior entrance usually requires a building permit from the City of Richmond. You must submit plans and engineered drawings, and the work must meet zoning and building code standards for secondary suites.
