Warping and peeling isn’t just cosmetic—it means moisture is getting behind your siding. Left unchecked, that trapped water rots the sheathing and invites mold. Our siding in Chartwell locks out rain with an engineered wood core that won’t swell or crack.
In addition to moisture, homes in this area face strong winds that can tear loose siding. The engineered material we install fits tightly and resists impact from flying debris—so your exterior stays intact through fall storms.

Durable Siding Solution
Old siding can buckle in constant rain, but LP SmartSide offers a better option. Its engineered wood strands are coated with a special wax and resin blend that keeps moisture out. This means no swelling, no rot, and no need for yearly repainting just to keep it looking good.
You get siding that looks like real cedar but performs like a modern composite. The boards are treated with a zinc borate formula to resist fungal decay and termites. When we install LP SmartSide siding in Vancouver, we provide homeowners a 50-year prorated warranty on the substrate, protecting against the very damage you’re seeing now.
Homes in Chartwell face two main threats: heavy rain and strong sun. This combination can bake cheap siding until it cracks, allowing water to seep deep into the walls. A siding that can only handle one of these conditions won’t last a full year on these hillsides.
The neighborhood’s mix of sprawling ranch homes and custom builds needs an exterior that stays strong. LP’s treated strands won’t snap under the thermal expansion common on south-facing elevations here. Its baked-on finish also blocks UV rays that would usually fade a lesser product in just a few seasons.
LP SmartSide Installation Techniques
In Chartwell, we start installing LP SmartSide with stainless steel ring-shank nails. These nails are placed every 16 inches along the studs to hold the planks securely against wind. We leave a 1/8-inch gap at butt joints and trim transitions. This gap allows the material to expand naturally during wet winters. A continuous bead of sealant behind each trim piece helps block water from getting in at these important points.
For lap applications, we ensure a minimum 1-inch overhang. This overhang helps shed water that runs down the wall. We also use flush joint flashing to protect the vertical seams. On exposed gable ends, we stagger the joints and use metal Z-flashing to keep water draining properly. This layered setup, along with the siding’s baked-on acrylic finish, keeps driving rain from reaching the sheathing.
To handle Chartwell’s heavy rain, we create a ventilated cavity behind the LP SmartSide. The siding goes over a drainage mat or vertical furring strips. This setup creates an air space that breaks the capillary path and lets water drain freely to the ground. This cavity helps airflow, preventing humid air from building up against the sheathing.
We also use integral flashing lap details. Head flashings above windows and doors extend beyond the trim margins. Kick-out flashings at roof-to-wall transitions direct water into gutters. Flexible sill pan liners under window openings catch any moisture and channel it outward, protecting the wood framing below.
Our attachment methods consider the high wind loads from the Burrard Inlet and the hillsides. We use stainless steel fasteners with ring shanks, placed closer together near corners and roof edges. This helps distribute shear forces without damaging the siding.
Construction Noise Regulations
District of West Vancouver’s Noise Control Bylaw No. 4404, 2005 restricts construction noise for exterior siding work, including LP SmartSide Siding, to specific hours: typically Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No construction noise is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Contractors must schedule siding installation, cutting, and fastening within these hours or get an exemption from the District’s bylaw department.
District construction guidance states that hours of site operation for building projects must follow the Noise Control Bylaw. It reiterates that exterior construction activities, like siding installation, are only permitted Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays unless an exemption is granted. This affects when LP SmartSide Siding crews can be on site in Chartwell.
The District of West Vancouver Resident’s Guide emphasizes that construction work, including exterior remodeling like siding replacement, is limited to operational hours of Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No construction activity is allowed on Sundays or holidays. LP SmartSide Siding projects at homes in Chartwell must be planned so noisy activities like hammering, sawing, and using air tools happen only within these permitted times.
We completed a multi-building siding project for a local school in Chartwell. Their old siding trapped moisture and let drafts into classrooms, causing damage and discomfort. We worked with their administration to schedule the LP SmartSide installation around their academic calendar. This way, the campus stayed open and safe every day. The result is a tighter, drier, and better-looking set of buildings that staff no longer worry about when it rains.
Local Material Sourcing
We often work on LP SmartSide siding projects in Chartwell. This is a regular part of our work, not something we do from far away. We travel to the neighborhood from Downtown Vancouver and Kitsilano using the Burrard Street Bridge, Highway 1, and Chartwell Drive. The trip usually takes about 25 to 35 minutes. During the project, we buy materials locally from stores like North Vancouver Home Hardware and Kerrisdale Lumber Home. This helps keep more of the budget within local businesses near Chartwell and the North Shore.
Old siding in Chartwell often warps and peels due to constant rain. We install LP SmartSide siding, which has an engineered wood core that resists moisture and won’t rot. Its treated strands and baked-on finish can handle heavy rain, strong sun, and wind from the Burrard Inlet. We use ventilated cavities, flashing, and stainless steel fasteners to keep water out and manage high wind loads. For a 38 Series Lap profile with a primed finish, costs range from CAD 7,000 to CAD 10,500. We work within West Vancouver’s noise bylaw hours (Monday to Friday 7:30am-5:30pm, Saturday 8am-5pm), and we can easily reach Chartwell from our Vancouver base.
