Moss damage to your siding

Cedar siding in this area needs an installation method that keeps air flowing behind the boards. Without proper ventilation, rot can spread unseen, compromising the structure and leading to costly repairs. Sealing stops moisture before it causes damage.

The rich grain and natural warmth of this material provide a timeless look that blends with the wooded surroundings. This choice enhances curb appeal and resale value, and many homeowners appreciate how it ages into a distinguished silver patina.

Cedar Siding Solutions

Moss and trapped moisture can harm cedar siding in the Lower Mainland. Without good airflow behind the boards, even quality cedar can soak up rain and start to rot in just a few years. Paragon Exteriors has a system that stops this problem, using the same method for cedar siding in Vancouver.

We install each board with a ventilated rainscreen gap and seal all cut ends on site. This keeps the wood dry from the back and stops moisture from getting into the grain. The result is siding that keeps its rich, natural look for decades, not just a few wet seasons.

Local Climate Issues

Cedar Valley gets a lot of rain and shade, which helps moss and algae grow faster than in sunnier parts of Metro Vancouver. This constant dampness can turn small gaps in the siding into big rot problems if installations are not done right.

Many homes here have older cedar siding that wasn’t made for our coastal climate. Replacing it with a well-ventilated system not only stops the rot but also keeps the rustic look that fits Cedar Valley beautifully.

Cedar Siding Installation

For homes in Cedar Valley, we use cedar with tight vertical grain and a high amount of heartwood. This type of wood resists rot and absorbs less moisture than flat-grain or sapwood boards, which can swell and cup in damp conditions. We fasten each piece with stainless steel ring-shank nails, which resist rust even when hidden behind the wood.

Every cut end, including notches around windows and corners, is sealed on-site with a flexible, paintable sealant. This sealant blocks the end grain, where water can soak in the most. We also leave a 3/8-inch ventilated gap behind the siding, allowing any incidental wetting to dry quickly before it can cause decay.

Rainscreen Functionality

In Cedar Valley’s coastal climate, a cedar wall must act as a pressure-equalized rainscreen. The gap behind the siding lets air flow, equalizing pressure so wind-driven rain isn’t pulled through the joints. Any water that does get in drains down the weather-resistant barrier and weeps out at the bottom, preventing pooling against the sheathing.

Flashing details are important: a continuous metal or plastic flashing at the top of windows and doors directs water outward, while step flashing at roof-wall intersections channels runoff away. We fasten the siding with nails that do not pin the boards tight, allowing cedar to expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes without buckling or cracking.

Cedar Valley Permit Requirements

Under Mission’s Building Bylaw 3590-2003, you need a building permit to remove, repair, or change exterior wall cladding in Cedar Valley. There is a specific fee for building envelope repair on homes built between 1985 and 1998. Any major cedar siding replacement or changes to exterior walls must go through the City’s building permit system. Mission’s building permit guide states that exterior walls must use fire-resistive materials at least 12 mm thick from ground level to the roofline, following the BC Building Code. Cedar siding work in Cedar Valley must meet these material and thickness standards and may be limited where cedar does not meet the fire-resistive requirement.

Mission’s Official Community Plan allows for minor exterior maintenance in designated development permit areas to skip a development permit when it only involves repairing or replacing existing surface materials and colors on a structure without heritage value. For straightforward like-for-like cedar siding repair or replacement in Cedar Valley that does not significantly change the building’s appearance, a development permit is not needed, though a building permit may still be required.

To fix this, we replaced it with strong cedar siding that improves the building’s look and protects it from the weather. Our skilled workers finished the job quickly to avoid disrupting their daily activities while providing top-notch results. Now, the school has a better-looking exterior that keeps moisture out.
