Siding That Keeps Walls Dry

Old horizontal siding traps moisture behind warped panels. Board and batten’s vertical design channels rain away naturally. It gives your home a clean, modern look while protecting the exterior from dampness common in Metro Vancouver.

Paragon replaces failing siding, seals every gap, and installs tight-fitting boards with hidden fasteners. This creates a weather-resistant shell that keeps your walls dry and your paint looking fresh for years. That’s why board and batten siding in Vancouver is a smart choice.

Built for Maple Ridge Weather

Maple Ridge gets heavy rainfall and wind-driven moisture that can quickly damage weak siding. Homes here need an exterior that can withstand these conditions without trapping water behind the boards.

From older neighborhoods near the Fraser River to newer developments up the hill, Maple Ridge homes benefit from vertical siding’s ability to shed water quickly. Paragon has worked on many local projects and knows the unique challenges of this area’s weather and housing.

Board and Batten Installation

In Maple Ridge, board and batten siding starts with rot-resistant furring strips attached over a weather-resistant barrier. This setup lifts the boards above the sheathing, allowing moisture to drain instead of soaking into the studs. Installers attach fiber cement or edge-sealed cedar boards to the strips, leaving small gaps at butt joints for expansion during wet winters.

Battens cover each vertical seam and are fastened into the framing, not just the boards. Flashing at window and door openings overlaps the barrier before any boards are added, and cut edges are primed or sealed on every piece. This method ensures water flows down and out, which is important during long wet periods in Maple Ridge.

Managing Moisture in Maple Ridge

Wind-driven rain in Maple Ridge can challenge exterior walls, as repeated wetting may push moisture into gaps. A vented drainage gap behind board and batten siding helps equalize pressure across the cladding, lowering the chance of rain being pushed inside. This gap also allows the back of the boards to dry quickly between storms.

Flashing at horizontal transitions and around window and door openings creates a continuous surface that sheds water. Corrosion-resistant fasteners hold the vertical boards securely through wet-dry cycles without loosening or staining. These details keep the wall assembly’s moisture and thermal boundaries intact while ensuring the exterior surface stays stable.

Maple Ridge Siding Permit Rules

The City of Maple Ridge’s Building Bylaw No. 8097-2026 requires board and batten siding work to follow BC Building Code rules for moisture control, fastening, and weather protection. A permit may be needed if the installation affects structural or fire safety aspects of the walls. Check with the Planning and Building Department before starting exterior renovations.

Changes to cladding that affect structural elements, fire-rated walls, or the building envelope can require a permit and inspections. The Home Improvements page advises confirming whether your board and batten project changes any of these before the work begins. You must submit applications and coordinate inspections through the Building Department.

If a board and batten job needs a permit, Bylaw No. 8043-2025 sets the fee based on the type of dwelling and the market value of the work. Ask about this fee schedule when budgeting for a qualifying exterior renovation to avoid surprises.

Serving Local Schools

One example of our work is a school campus in Maple Ridge. The old siding was letting moisture get behind the walls during the rainy season. We installed new board and batten siding on all their buildings over several weeks. We worked closely with their daily schedule so classes never paused. The result was a drier, tighter exterior for the entire property, and they no longer had to worry about hidden rot.

Community Support in Maple Ridge

While we are in town, we often pick up materials from local hardware stores like Haney Builders Supplies and Maple Ridge New and Used. This helps support the community where we work.
