Paragon
A small damp spot on exterior sheathing often indicates deeper rot behind your siding. Left unchecked, trapped moisture weakens the structure your cladding attaches to. Damage can spread quickly in this coastal climate.
Homeowners often take this opportunity to upgrade underlayment or improve drainage before new siding is installed. Combining this project with a larger exterior refresh can prevent future issues and save time.

Protect Your Home's Exterior
Crumbling exterior sheathing looks bad and lets moisture get behind your siding. This can lead to rot and mold. Replacing that damaged layer restores the protection your home needs.
We remove the old, crumbling sheathing and install new, moisture-resistant boards. For drywall in Vancouver, we choose the right sheathing type for your home’s exposure. This keeps out rain and coastal dampness while providing a solid base for your siding.
West Vancouver is close to the ocean, so homes deal with constant moisture, wind, and salt air. Exterior sheathing protects against this weather, making quick replacement important to prevent costly damage.
Many homes here were built years ago and often use older materials that break down faster in our damp climate. Upgrading to modern, water-resistant panels helps your exterior handle the rainy winters and reduces repair costs.
Sheathing Materials for West Vancouver
When we replace exterior sheathing on homes in West Vancouver, we choose panels with non-paper facings to resist moisture. Fiberglass-faced gypsum sheathing, like DensGlass, is popular because it won’t absorb water or support mold. For areas close to the shore, cement board sheathing is more durable.
We start installation by completely removing the old sheathing and checking the framing for hidden rot. New panels are attached with hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners to withstand salt air. We stagger the joints, leave small gaps for expansion, and seal all seams with sheathing tape or fluid-applied flashing to create a solid barrier.
In West Vancouver’s wet climate, the exterior sheathing must fit into a drained wall system. We install a weather-resistant barrier over the sheathing, making sure all seams are shingled to direct water downward. Behind the siding, a rainscreen gap allows any moisture that gets through the cladding to drain and evaporate, stopping it from soaking the sheathing.
The sheathing helps the home resist shear forces, so we design fastening patterns to transfer wind loads from the cladding to the framing. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners that are driven flush to keep the weather-resistant barrier intact. Flashing at all openings and transitions is lapped to direct water outward, maintaining a continuous drainage plane.
Bylaws for Exterior Work
The District of West Vancouver requires a building permit before you build, repair, or change a building or structure. This includes exterior remodeling work like siding, windows, doors, or decks if those changes are part of a building alteration.
West Vancouver has rules about construction noise. Exterior remodeling work must follow these noise rules and construction hours unless you get a temporary exemption.
West Vancouver has limits on decks and patios. For example, decks or patios can only be built if no part is higher than 0.6 metre above the higher of natural and finished grade. This rule can affect deck-related exterior work on homes.
