Durable Cedar Siding Solutions
Constant moisture breaks down standard siding quickly, but the right cedar handles it well. Properly graded, sealed, and installed wood resists rot and stays stable through wet winters.Cedar siding in Vancouver works best when the material and method match the climate.
The solution starts with clear, vertical-grain Western Red Cedar that expands less and holds finish longer. We use back-priming, rain-screen strapping, and stainless fasteners so water drains quickly and air keeps the back side dry.
Homes here sit against Burnaby Mountain, catching heavy rain and staying shaded for hours each day. Wood exteriors take a beating, so siding that stays wet without drying out will cup or grow mildew quickly.
Many Government Road properties were built when cedar was common, but older installations often lack the air gap or flashing that today’s moisture levels require. Replacing it means getting the wood and drainage details right for this specific area of Burnaby.
Cedar Selection and Fasteners
Clear, vertical-grain Western Red Cedar is perfect for Government Road. Its tight growth rings limit moisture absorption and reduce cupping. Knotty grades are cheaper but move more with wet-dry cycles. We use clear or select tight-knot stock for the exposed faces on these shaded lots.
Stainless-steel ring-shank nails or screws are necessary here. The constant dampness and tannin in cedar will corrode regular fasteners. This leads to black streaks down the siding within two seasons.
Installation sequencing is important. We back-prime and end-seal boards before putting them up. We also leave a dime-width gap at butt joints to stop swelling wood from buckling during Government Road’s long wet spells.
The main principle for Government Road is a drained and ventilated rainscreen. Cedar cladding acts as the main rain barrier, but a three-quarter-inch air gap behind it helps the wall dry out after storms.
This gap stops capillary suction. It prevents water drawn into the siding from wicking through to the sheathing. Vented starter strips at the bottom and a bug-screened opening at the top create a chimney effect that pushes out moisture. This is important where homes are in mountain shadow with limited direct sun.
Flashing at windows and horizontal trim must be layered shingle-style. This ensures every lap sheds water outward. Head flashings with end dams direct runoff past the siding, keeping a continuous drainage plane from the building paper to the back of the cedar.
Cedar Siding Permit Requirements
For cedar siding installation on Government Road, the City of Burnaby has strict rules about construction hours. Work can only happen Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. No construction noise is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Power tools must not exceed 85 dBA when measured 15.2 metres from the source, so contractors must plan cutting and fastening within these limits.
A building permit is needed for cedar siding replacement if the work changes the building’s structure or envelope. Simple non-structural repairs are often considered minor and may not need a permit, but any major siding change that affects openings or the wall assembly should be checked with the City’s permits department.
The City’s construction noise guidance explains how the Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw applies to work near Government Road. Exterior remodeling activities like cedar siding installation must follow the allowed construction hours and meet the bylaw’s noise limits.
We recently worked on a school in Government Road that had cupping cedar siding. This issue let moisture get into several outbuildings. We planned the replacement to fit their daily schedule. We kept walkways clear and worked with their staff to ensure classes and pickups went smoothly. By the end of the project, the buildings were sealed and straight again. Their maintenance team no longer had to worry about rot spreading behind the old boards.
