Moisture behind failing siding causes damage inside your walls, not just on the surface. By the time you see soft spots or paint bubbling, the structure may need more than a cosmetic fix.
Siding replacement also enhances curb appeal and resale value. Buyers notice worn exteriors immediately, and fresh, well-installed cladding can make a home stand out in the neighborhood.

Weather-Tight Protection
Wet coastal winters can damage old siding. When moisture gets in, rot spreads quickly behind the surface, harming your home’s structure. A complete siding replacement in Vancouver creates a strong barrier that stops this problem before it starts.
We remove the old siding and check the sheathing underneath. Any damaged wood is replaced. Then we put on new siding with the right house wrap and flashing details to direct rain away, keeping your exterior dry.
Homes in West Bay deal with salt air, heavy rain, and steep slopes. Regular siding often fails here because it isn’t made for this tough weather.
We use materials designed for high-moisture areas and wind-driven rain. Fiber cement and engineered wood look great and resist swelling. The result is an exterior that stays sharp and strong, season after season.
Siding Installation in West Bay
In West Bay’s steep areas, we set up secure scaffolding before removing old siding. This careful teardown prevents rain from soaking the exposed building. We check the underlying sheathing and replace any soft or rotted areas with pressure-treated plywood to ensure a solid base for nailing.
Salt air can cause fasteners to rust near the coast. We use stainless steel ring-shank nails for fiber cement and engineered wood, driving them flush to avoid dimpling and create a smooth surface. For fiber cement, we use diamond-tipped blades to make clean cuts around windows and doors while managing dust on the job site.
A ventilated rainscreen gap is important here. We attach vertical furring strips over the house wrap to create a drainage space. This allows water to escape and air to circulate behind the siding, helping the whole assembly dry out after frequent West Bay rain.
The water-resistive barrier behind the siding is the first line of defense. We overlap all horizontal joints so upper layers shed water over lower ones and tape vertical seams to keep a continuous shield against wind-driven moisture, which is a challenge in this marine climate.
At every window and door, pan flashing directs incidental water outward, and head flashings with end dams stop water from getting behind the trim. Where walls meet gutters, kick-out flashing diverts water away from the siding, preventing entry at points exposed to West Bay storms.
Siding alone resists wind, but the load path starts at the framing. We check that the sheathing is securely fastened to the studs, especially on gable ends that face strong westerly winds. Heavy-gauge ring-shank fasteners hold the new siding in place, resisting pull-out from coastal wind loads.
Siding Replacement Regulations
West Vancouver’s Noise Control Bylaw limits construction noise for siding replacement to weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. If work needs to happen outside these hours, an exemption from the District of West Vancouver is required.
When replacing siding on a West Bay home, a building permit is usually needed. This is because such work is considered a building alteration that can affect the building envelope. Contractors should apply to the building department before starting the project.
If the siding work affects street or lane access, West Vancouver may ask for a traffic management plan. All construction must follow the noise bylaw’s allowed hours, and any needed exemptions should be arranged in advance with the District.
A local school in West Bay had problems with moisture getting to the sheathing because of their old siding. We replaced the siding in phases, working around their daily schedule. We coordinated with the staff to ensure safety and access during the project. By the time we finished, the buildings were sealed tight against coastal dampness. They no longer had to worry about drafts or hidden rot behind the old siding.

We regularly replace siding in West Bay. This is a common request for us. We have done many siding installations in this area, so the drive is easy for us. From our location, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes along West Georgia Street and over the Lions Gate Bridge, often passing through Stanley Park. While we are there, we often get materials from nearby stores like Simpson Home Hardware and Hewer Home Hardware, which helps support the local economy.
Old siding on West Bay homes can let in moisture, leading to hidden rot and mold. We replace it with strong, weather-resistant materials like fiber cement and engineered wood. We install these materials with proper house wrap, flashing, and a ventilated rainscreen to deal with the area’s salt air, heavy rain, and steep slopes. A building permit is usually needed, and we must follow West Vancouver’s noise bylaw, which allows construction on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Siding replacement costs range from about CAD 5,300 for basic vinyl to CAD 35,000 for high-end fiber cement, depending on the project size. We often work in West Bay and can easily reach the area.
