Siding Contractor in West Vancouver

Siding Installation and Replacement in West Vancouver

Between the shoreline at Dundarave and the ridgelines above the Upper Levels, West Vancouver contains some of the most exposed building sites on the coast. Southwest storms come straight up the Strait of Georgia and hit these elevations first. A wall assembly that would be adequate inland needs upgrading here, and that is how Berkana Construction builds: full rainscreen behind every cladding, marine-conscious fastener and flashing choices near the water, and drainage details that assume wind-driven rain rather than hoping against it.

We are a licensed, insured, WorkSafeBC compliant BC contractor serving the Lower Mainland since 2019, and every siding replacement we price comes as a free written quote with the scope spelled out line by line.

Coastal Exposure Is the Design Problem

The closer a home sits to the water, the more the envelope has to fight. In Eagle Harbour, Gleneagles and Horseshoe Bay we routinely find corroded staples backing out of forty-year-old cladding, pitted aluminum trims, and paint burned off south walls years ahead of schedule. Higher up in Cypress Park and the British Properties the salt fades but wind and rain volumes grow, and shaded north elevations stay wet enough to grow moss on any surface that will hold it.

Our job is matching the assembly to the exposure. That means stainless or coated fasteners where salt dictates, wider drainage cavities on weather walls, and metal flashings formed for the actual storm direction, not just code minimum overlaps.

Materials That Suit West Vancouver Architecture

West Vancouver's housing stock rewards careful material selection. Mid-century post-and-beam homes in Caulfeild and Altamont look right in Western Red Cedar or in Longboard woodgrain aluminum, which keeps the warm horizontal lines without the refinishing schedule. Contemporary rebuilds throughout Sentinel Hill and the British Properties often call for AL13 aluminum panels or Lux steel panels, flat, precise systems that handle exposure and read as architecture rather than cladding. For traditional homes, James Hardie fiber cement provides deep colour retention on sun-hammered south elevations facing the water. We walk through samples with you at the house, in the actual light the wall will live in.

Repair, Restoration and Insurance Support

Storm season generates most of our emergency calls from West Vancouver: lifted panels above Marine Drive, cedar boards cracked by falling limbs, water tracking in around skylight walls. Our siding repair service addresses the damage and the detail that allowed it, because on this coastline a small breach becomes an expensive one within a season or two.

Where damage is severe, wind losses, water intrusion or fire, Berkana handles exterior restoration end to end, including the photographic records and written scopes insurers require. We deal with the adjuster's questions directly so you are not stuck translating construction language mid-claim, and we rebuild the damaged assembly to current standards rather than back to the detail that failed.

Soffit, Fascia and the Long Game

Deep overhangs are a signature of West Coast design, which makes soffits a visible finish surface here, not an afterthought. We install vented aluminum and natural cedar soffit, renew fascia boards behind aging gutters, and tie roofline drainage into the wall system so the whole elevation works as one assembly. Done properly, this is decades of protection for a home that is likely among your largest assets.
