Paragon
Gray patches aren’t just cosmetic. Moisture trapped in the grain eats deeper into the boards each season, and the rot travels fast along the edges. What looks like a small blemish today can mean replacing entire sections of exterior cladding by spring.
Choosing the right wood profile helps your home withstand heavy rain and afternoon sun. Wider or narrower reveal lines, shiplap versus channel grooves—these details affect how water sheds and how the exterior breathes through wet winters and dry summers.

Cedar Siding Benefits
Moisture is the biggest enemy of exterior wood, especially in a coastal climate. At Paragon, we’ve shown that cedar siding in Vancouver resists rot and graying when it is properly sourced and sealed. This classic material keeps homes dry and looking good year after year.
We use vertical-grain heartwood that sheds water and resists cupping. Every board gets sealing on all sides before installation, and we never nail through the face where moisture can get in. This way, the siding breathes naturally and stays strong for decades.
In Mission, coastal moisture and valley fog test exterior materials all year. Home exteriors that aren’t fully protected quickly develop rot around trim, windows, and siding joints.
We consider Mission’s heavy rainfall and older homes by using reinforced flashing at every corner and bottom edge. Our teams know which sealants and coatings work best in the Fraser Valley’s damp conditions, so your cedar stays bright and intact.
Cedar Installation Techniques
We use clear, vertical-grain cedar heartwood that stays stable in Mission’s wet weather. The boards are graded for straight grain and few knots. We seal all six sides before installation. A dimpled rainscreen mat is placed behind every row to create a drainage channel and capillary break.
We use stainless steel ring-shank nails to fasten the boards. These nails are driven through the tongue at a shallow angle, not through the face. We leave a small gap at the ends of the boards for expansion and back-prime every cut. This blind-nailing method secures the siding without breaking the outer weather surface.
The wall assembly under cedar in Mission has a ventilated air gap behind each board. This gap helps dry the back face of the wood. We use a continuous water-resistive barrier that overlaps with flashings at window heads and sills. This directs moisture down to a stainless-steel weepscreed at the bottom. This drainage plane stays separate from the structural sheathing to prevent trapped water during winter storms.
Flashing details at horizontal trim and corners follow a shingle-lapped pattern. This ensures that wind-driven rain always hits a downward-facing surface. Corrosion-resistant fasteners and the rainscreen gap allow the siding to move slightly while resisting pull-through. The result is a cladding system that sheds bulk water and breathes freely in the Fraser Valley’s moist air.
Cedar Siding Permit Requirements
Under the City of Mission’s Building Bylaw 3590-2003, you need a building permit when cedar siding work affects the building envelope or structure, like replacing sheathing or adding insulation. If you only replace the outer cladding without changing the wall assembly, a permit might not be needed, but you should check with the City’s building department. This ensures you follow the BC Building Code.
Mission’s exterior siding fire-resistive standards require all siding materials to be fire-resistant and at least 12 mm thick, extending from the ground to the roofline. For cedar siding, the product must meet these fire-resistive criteria or be installed over a compliant fire-rated substrate to pass inspection. These rules apply to new, replacement, and retrofit work on homes in Mission.
The City of Mission’s Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw 5700-2018 sets fines for construction without a required permit and for excessive noise. Any needed permits must be obtained before installation starts, and siding work should be scheduled during allowable hours to avoid noise complaints.
We recently completed a cedar siding replacement for a school in Mission. The old cedar had cupped and cracked. This trapped moisture against the framing and risked rot. We installed new cedar siding to create a tight seal against the weather. Now, the campus has a protective cedar shell that stands up to Mission’s damp winters. They no longer have to worry about hidden decay.
Local Support for Cedar Siding
We install cedar siding in Mission regularly. We’re always close to a project here. It takes us about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes to reach Mission from our shop using Highway 1 and the Abbotsford–Mission Highway. Once we arrive, we often get last-minute supplies from local stores like Fraser Valley Building Supplies (RONA) and Re-Con Building Products Inc. This helps us support the community we work in.
Cedar siding in Mission can quickly gray and rot because of trapped moisture. We install cedar siding made for this wet climate. It uses vertical-grain heartwood sealed on all sides, blind-nailed with stainless steel fasteners, and has a ventilated rainscreen. Mission’s heavy rainfall and valley fog need reinforced flashing and coatings that work well in the Fraser Valley. If you change the building envelope, you may need a permit under City bylaws, and the siding must meet fire-resistive standards. Estimated costs range from CAD 6 to CAD 16, depending on the profile and finish. We can reach Mission in about an hour.
