Richmond Siding is Unique. Sitting at sea level and bordered by the Fraser River and Strait of Georgia, Richmond faces humidity, salt-laden winds, and some of B.C.’s heaviest winter rainfall. Those forces test exterior cladding every single day, which is why Richmond siding can’t be an after-thought. Berkana Construction combines material science, marine-grade installation practices, and West Coast design sensibility to create façades that outlast the elements without sacrificing curb appeal.
From multi-generation family homes to contemporary infills, we tailor every project to the structure’s exposure, orientation, and thermal demands—so your walls stay dry, efficient, and beautiful year after year.
Great results start with a conversation—not a sales pitch. We meet on-site or virtually to learn how you live, what aesthetics inspire you, and how long you plan to own the property. Because no two owners share the same goals, our first deliverable is a custom roadmap outlining rainscreen assemblies, insulation upgrades, and colour palettes that fit your budget and vision. Only when we agree on the blueprint do we order materials and schedule installation—ensuring your Richmond siding journey feels collaborative, transparent, and stress-free.
Perched at sea level and ringed by tidal waterways, Richmond’s homes face a unique cocktail of high humidity, salt spray, and driving Pacific rain. That constant moisture cycle can warp lesser claddings, fade pigments, and invite rot long before their warranties expire. To counteract those threats, every Richmond siding material we recommend is vetted for low water absorption, UV-stable finishes, and fastener systems that hold firm when winter storms barrel in off the Strait. At the same time, today’s manufacturing advances mean you no longer have to sacrifice style for durability—modern profiles and colour palettes let you match any architectural vision while still meeting the city’s rigorous building-envelope standards. Below are the cladding options our clients choose most often for a façade that performs beautifully in Richmond’s maritime environment.
Most-requested Siding in Richmond BC:
Richmond’s coastal climate calls for siding profiles that can channel driving rain away from walls, breathe through humid summers, and still look sharp beside both heritage and modern architecture. We focus on three proven styles—each adaptable to different façades yet uniformly reliable against salt-laden winds and heavy winter downpours.
Horizontal boards create shadow lines that suit everything while their design forms a natural water-shedding barrier—an essential feature for Richmond siding
Large fiber-cement or metal sheets provide a minimalist, monolithic look and fewer seams, reducing potential water ingress points and streamlining maintenance.
Staggered cedar or fiber-cement pieces add textural depth to gables, dormers, or full walls, delivering timeless coastal character and extra surface area for quick moisture evaporation.
