Home additions can ruin your yard

An exposed addition can turn a simple project into a neighborhood eyesore, with mud tracked into driveways and damp framing inviting rot. You need the exterior sealed quickly and the site kept tidy, so your family isn’t living next to a construction zone.

In addition to the mess, consider how the new exterior will withstand the wet winters here. The siding and trim must be installed to prevent warping or leaking during heavy rain. The finish should blend seamlessly with the house, not look like a patch job.

Sealed Exteriors Faster Timelines

The biggest problem with home additions is not the build itself, but the mud and exposed plywood. Paragon Exteriors solves this by managing home additions in Vancouver using a dry-in strategy. This seals the structure against rain within days, not weeks. Your yard stays clean while we work.

Our crews quickly install exterior walls, windows, and siding as soon as the frame is up. We then flash and paint everything to match your existing home. There are no tarps flapping for months and no weather damage sneaks in. The result is a completed exterior that looks like it was always there and a site you can use while we finish the inside.

Importance of Quick Sealing

Many older homes on Government Road, built in the 1960s and 70s, often need an exterior refresh before other updates. Adding on here means matching the footprint, siding profile, window style, and paint color to the specific look of that era.

Burnaby’s rainy autumns and winters make quick exterior sealing essential. Leaving a new addition’s sheathing exposed for weeks invites moisture that can warp materials and delay your project. Our team finishes the envelope quickly to keep the structure dry and your schedule on track, which is how we’ve earned trust in Government Road.

Cladding Options for Government Road

When adding onto an older home on Government Road, we match the era’s cedar style with fiber cement or engineered wood siding. Both materials resist Vancouver’s autumn-to-spring moisture without soaking it up, which prevents warping or rotting. Their factory finishes keep paint looking good longer, ensuring the new section blends well with the existing exterior for years to come.

We connect the weather barrier with the original building paper, then add a vented rainscreen gap before putting up the siding. Self-adhered flashing tape seals window and door openings, overlapping the water-resistant layer to push moisture out. This layered system keeps the framing dry even during weeks of coastal rain.

Drainage and Structural Integrity

A key principle for every addition on Government Road is creating a continuous drainage plane that connects to the original home’s exterior membrane. We build a vertical air gap behind the cladding, which allows any moisture to drain and dry—important since siding can stay wet for days. At the bottom, a weep screed detail lets water exit safely above the foundation.

The structural link uses steel brackets and fastening patterns strong enough for wind uplift, but long-term strength comes from keeping the wall assembly separate from bulk water. Step flashing at the roofline directs rain into the gutter, and every seam is counter-flashed to stop moisture from getting in. These engineered overlaps keep the addition’s envelope strong without needing constant upkeep.

Home Addition Permit Requirements

Any home addition on Government Road, including enlargements, alterations, or new structures, needs a building permit from the City of Burnaby before work starts. The owner must apply, pay the fees, and submit plans that show the project details, all in line with the BC Building Code and Burnaby’s requirements under Bylaw No. 13658.

In the Government Road area, Burnaby defines an addition as any change to a home’s footprint or increase in floor area. This includes expansions to attached garages, decks, awnings, and patio covers. A building permit application must be submitted online through Burnaby’s My Permits Portal. A printed permit package with approved drawings must be kept on site for inspections. Depending on the project, a Form and Character Development Permit may also be needed for major expansions or significant exterior changes to meet Burnaby’s form-and-character guidelines.
