Siding.
Installation, repair and full replacement, the core of what we do.
Siding Contractor Services in Maple Ridge and the Lower Mainland
Siding is what Berkana Construction was built on. We install, repair and replace James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, cedar, engineered wood and aluminum panel systems, with the flashing, rainscreen and moisture detailing that exterior walls need to survive Lower Mainland weather.

- Full siding replacement
- Fiber cement, vinyl, cedar, engineered wood
- Aluminum and composite panel systems
- Rainscreen and moisture management detailing
Siding Installation in Maple Ridge and Metro Vancouver
A siding installation is only as good as what you cannot see when it is done: the weather barrier, the flashing at every window and penetration, and the ventilation gap behind the cladding. Berkana crews install those layers to manufacturer spec on every job, then finish with clean lines and tight trim work.
- Full wall assembly, not just cladding
- Weather barrier and rainscreen strapping
- Window, door and penetration flashing
- Manufacturer-spec fastening and gapping
- Matching trim, corners and transitions
- Job site protection and daily cleanup
Siding Repair in Maple Ridge and the Lower Mainland
Damaged siding lets water into the wall, and in this climate that gets expensive fast. We repair impact damage, wind-lifted panels, rot, failed caulking and worn sections, matching the existing material and colour as closely as the product allows.
- Storm and wind damage repair
- Impact damage and cracked panels
- Rot and moisture damage fixes
- Colour and profile matching
- Caulking and flashing repair
- Honest repair-or-replace advice
Siding Replacement in Maple Ridge and Metro Vancouver
Replacing siding is the one chance to fix everything behind it: rot, missing barrier, bad flashing, no ventilation gap. We tear off to sheathing, repair what we find, rebuild the moisture layers to current standards and install the new cladding you choose.
- Complete tear-off to sheathing
- Rot and substrate repairs included in scope
- New weather barrier and rainscreen
- Upgrade material or match existing
- Insulation upgrade option during re-clad
- Disposal and recycling of old cladding
Commercial Siding and Exterior Contractor, Lower Mainland
Commercial exteriors carry different stakes: your building is your brand, your tenants need quiet, and downtime costs money. We install fiber cement, metal panel and composite systems on commercial and multi-unit buildings, coordinate with property managers and stratas, and schedule work to keep businesses running.
- Storefronts, offices, light industrial
- Multi-unit and strata buildings
- Fiber cement and metal panel systems
- Off-hours and phased scheduling
- Property manager coordination
- Maintenance and repair programs
Exterior & Envelope.
Soffit, fascia and exterior insulation that complete the building envelope.
Soffit Installation and Repair, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland
Soffit does two jobs: it closes off the underside of your eaves against weather and pests, and it feeds the attic ventilation your roof needs to avoid condensation and premature failure. We install vented aluminum soffit systems sized to your attic's airflow requirements.
- Vented and solid aluminum soffit
- Attic ventilation sizing
- Colour matching to fascia and siding
- Pest and bird blocking
- Repair of sagging or wind-damaged sections
- Standalone or bundled with siding work
Fascia Installation and Repair, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland
Fascia caps the edge of the roof structure, carries the gutters and takes constant hits from water running off the roof. We brake-form aluminum fascia on site for an exact fit, repair rot in the boards behind it and integrate it properly with drip edge and gutters.
- On-site brake-formed aluminum
- Fascia board rot repair
- Gutter and drip edge integration
- Colour matched to soffit and trim
- Wind damage repairs
- Standalone or with soffit and siding
Exterior Insulation for Lower Mainland Homes and Buildings
When the siding is off is the cheapest moment you will ever have to insulate your walls. We add continuous exterior insulation, rigid foam or mineral wool, over the sheathing before the new cladding goes on, reducing thermal bridging through the studs and tightening the whole envelope.
- Rigid foam and mineral wool systems
- Installed during siding replacement
- Reduced thermal bridging
- Correct furring and fastener detailing
- Rainscreen maintained over insulation
- Support for energy rebate paperwork
Gutter and Downspout Installation, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland
Gutters are the drainage system for your roof, and in a climate that can see well over a metre of rain a year, undersized or failing gutters quietly destroy fascia, siding and foundations. We install continuous aluminum gutters, place downspouts where the water actually needs to go, and integrate everything with the fascia and drip edge behind.
- Continuous aluminum gutters
- Correct sizing for BC rainfall
- Downspout placement and drainage
- Leaf guard options
- Fascia and drip edge integration
- Repairs and re-slopes
Window and Door Installation with Exterior Work
Most window leaks are not window failures, they are installation failures: flashing that does not connect to the weather barrier, missing sill pans, sealant doing a job flashing should do. Because we build the whole wall assembly, our window and door installs integrate correctly with the barrier and rainscreen around them.
- Install during siding replacement
- Sill pan and flashing integration
- Connection to WRB and rainscreen
- Vinyl and fiberglass window units
- Exterior and patio doors
- Trim and detail carpentry
Exterior Painting and Staining, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland
In this climate, paint fails from the substrate out: trapped moisture, chalky old coatings and skipped prep will peel the most expensive paint in a season or two. Our exterior painting starts with washing, scraping, repairs and priming, and we tell you honestly when a surface is past painting and should be replaced instead.
- Pressure washing and full prep
- Scraping, sanding and priming
- Caulking and minor repairs included
- Fiber cement, wood and stucco coatings
- Cedar staining and oiling
- Honest paint-or-replace advice
Deck and Patio Construction, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland
The most important part of a deck is where it meets the house. A badly flashed ledger channels water straight into the wall assembly, and we rebuild the damage from that mistake all the time. We build decks the way an envelope contractor builds them: flashed, ventilated and integrated with the siding.
- Pressure-treated and cedar framing
- Composite and wood decking
- Ledger flashing done right
- Aluminum and glass railings
- Stairs and privacy screens
- Permits and inspections handled
Damage Restoration.
Water, wind and fire damage restored with insurance-ready documentation.
Exterior Damage Restoration, Maple Ridge and Lower Mainland

Water Damage Restoration for Building Exteriors
Water is the number one killer of Lower Mainland buildings. We trace leaks to their true source, open and dry the affected assembly, replace rotten framing and sheathing, and rebuild the wall with modern weather barrier and rainscreen detailing so the problem does not come back.
- Leak diagnosis to the true source
- Moisture testing of the assembly
- Rot and framing repairs
- New barrier, flashing and rainscreen
- Insurance documentation
- Matched siding reinstatement
Wind and Storm Damage Restoration
Lower Mainland windstorms strip siding panels, drop soffit and peel back fascia, and every opening they leave lets the next rain in. We respond quickly to secure the building, then repair or replace the damaged sections with properly matched material.
- Fast response after storms
- Emergency tarping and securing
- Full envelope inspection
- Panel matching and reinstatement
- Soffit and fascia storm repairs

Fire Damage Restoration for Building Exteriors
Fire damage to an exterior ranges from vinyl melted by a neighbouring fire's radiant heat to full structural damage. We assess what is cosmetic and what is structural, strip compromised assemblies, coordinate with your insurer's scope and rebuild the exterior to current code.

- Smoke and soot evaluation
- Safe tear-out and disposal
- Insurance scope coordination
- Rebuild to current code
