A door that won’t close square lets heated air escape and forces your furnace to work overtime. In this area’s damp winters, that same gap invites moisture that can quietly rot the frame. That’s why exterior door installation is about achieving a tight seal.
Beyond energy savings, a new entry door enhances your home’s curb appeal. A fresh style can modernize the façade, while upgraded hardware makes locking up effortless. This project boosts comfort and confidence every time you come home.

Keep your door square year-round
A door that sticks in winter and swings freely in summer lets the weather in. This constant movement wears out locks, frays weatherstripping, and raises your heating bill. Homeowners in Burnaby call us when they are tired of fighting a sticky latch every time the temperature changes. The solution is a strong, well-built door hung in a frame that stays true no matter what the damp air does outside. Our approach to exterior door installation for Vancouver homes stops that cycle by using materials that resist warping from the very first winter.
We remove the old unit, fix any framing that has settled out of level, and install the new door on stainless hardware that won’t corrode under Pacific Northwest rain. Every threshold gets a sealed sill pan, and the brickmould is caulked to the sheathing before the siding laps back over it. The result is an entry that swings with one finger, locks easily, and keeps the damp out instead of letting it inside.
Burnaby is right in the path of those long, grey stretches where moisture sneaks into every gap around your entry. Homes here face the same relentless drizzle as the rest of Metro Vancouver, plus the added shade of Burnaby Mountain and the tree canopy across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Brentwood. That constant damp is why an exterior door here needs more than a standard weatherstrip; it needs a full thermal break and a sill design that channels water away from the threshold. In Burnaby, a properly sealed swing door is the difference between a dry foyer and a warped floor.
Many Burnaby homes date from the 1970s through the 1990s, with original doors that have outlived their seals by decades. Wood-frame construction on hillside lots means slight settling is common, and even a quarter-inch out of plumb can let a steady draft push past the sweep. Our crews have seen it on split-levels near Deer Lake and ranchers up in Forest Glen, the same story of swollen jambs and peeling corner seals. A door sized and flashed for this climate locks that pattern down for good.
Installing doors in frames
We begin by taking out the old door and checking the rough opening for rot, especially at the sill where moisture might have damaged the subfloor. Many homes in Burnaby have settled a bit, so we plane or shim the jambs to make the opening level and plumb. We use a pressure-treated or composite sill pan with a backdam, which is set in sealant before installing the new door. This creates a slope that directs water away from the house.
For the new door, we suggest fiberglass or steel units that have a full thermal break and rot-resistant composite jambs. Stainless steel hinges and multipoint locks help prevent corrosion from the coastal moisture. The door slab is hung with continuous shims behind each hinge leaf. We fill the gap between the frame and rough opening with low-expansion foam and cover it with butyl flashing tape that overlaps onto the sheathing.
In Burnaby’s coastal climate, the door opening is an important part of the building’s drainage system. We connect the door’s mounting flange or brickmould with the wall’s water-resistive barrier by overlapping the housewrap over the top flange and taping the sides. The bottom flange is left free to let any moisture drain out. A sloped sill pan with a welded backdam stops wind-driven rain from getting under the threshold, even on exposed hillside lots.
The door assembly must handle thermal bridging to prevent condensation on the interior frame during cold, damp months. A fiberglass or steel door with a full thermal break keeps the inside surface above the dew point. The low-expansion foam sealant around the rough opening works as both an air barrier and a vapor retarder. We make sure that any vapor from inside the home can dry toward the outside, stopping moisture from getting trapped in the wall behind the door trim.
Burnaby permit requirements
For exterior door installation in Burnaby, a building permit is needed if the work changes the structural opening, like its size, location, or framing. Replacing an existing door in the same opening usually doesn’t need a permit. Any project that alters the building envelope or exterior walls must go through the City’s permits and construction process, while minor cosmetic changes are exempt.
Burnaby’s noise bylaw limits construction for exterior door installation to certain hours: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. No noisy work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Contractors must also keep noise from equipment to about 85 dBA at residential properties.
