Exterior Renovations in the Lower Mainland & Vancouver Island

We handle exterior renovations across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island — siding, windows, doors, decks, and building-envelope upgrades — built around a proper rainscreen so your home stays protected and its curb appeal lifts. One team coordinates the envelope, finishes, and trades, with a clear, itemized estimate.

Your home's exterior does two jobs at once: it's the first thing anyone sees, and it's the barrier standing between your home and BC's wet coastal weather. We handle exterior renovations across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island — siding, windows, doors, decks, and the building envelope behind them — to make your home both better looking and better protected.

Your home's first defence against the coast

Siding covers most of your home's exterior, but it's only as good as what's behind it. On the coast, the building envelope — the layered system of sheathing, water-resistive barrier, rainscreen, and flashing that manages moisture — is what keeps wind-driven rain out of your walls. We build that system properly, with a rainscreen that lets walls breathe and drain, because in this climate it's the difference between siding that lasts and water damage you don't see until it's expensive.

Exterior renovation services we provide

• Siding and cladding: full re-siding in fibre cement, cedar, vinyl, or metal, over a proper rainscreen
• Windows and doors: energy-efficient replacements that cut drafts and update the look
• Decks and outdoor living: new and rebuilt decks, railings, and outdoor spaces built for the climate
• Roofline details: soffits, fascia, gutters, and trim that finish and protect the exterior
• Entries and curb appeal: front entries, porches, and exterior finishes that lift the whole home
• Building-envelope upgrades: fixing and improving the weather protection behind the finishes

Choosing the right siding for a coastal BC home

The best siding for your home depends on the look you want, the budget, and how it stands up to the coast. We help you weigh the options:

• Fibre cement (e.g. James Hardie): durable, fire-resistant, and well suited to the wet coast, with a clean modern or traditional look
• Cedar and wood: a classic West Coast appearance that needs more maintenance to hold up
• Vinyl: a cost-effective, low-maintenance option in a wide range of profiles
• Metal: long-lasting and contemporary, increasingly popular for accents and full facades

Curb appeal and energy efficiency

An exterior renovation is one of the few projects that pays you back twice — it lifts curb appeal and the value that comes with it, and it makes the home more comfortable and efficient. New windows and a properly sealed envelope cut drafts and heating costs, while fresh cladding, trim, and a refreshed entry can make a tired home look years newer from the street.

Re-cladding older and character homes

Many older homes across BC's coast — Vancouver's character houses and Specials, and the character and mid-century homes of Greater Victoria — are due for an exterior that performs like a modern one while keeping the character that makes them worth owning. We re-clad and re-skin older homes, upgrade aging stucco and single-pane windows, and bring the envelope up to today's standard, with care for heritage requirements where they apply.

What shapes an exterior renovation budget

Exterior budgets depend on the size of the home, how much of the exterior you're tackling, the siding and window products you choose, and the condition of what's found once the old cladding comes off. Addressing the envelope properly is an investment that protects everything behind it. We provide a clear, itemized estimate so you can see the cost of each part of the project and decide where to focus.

How an exterior project runs

• 1. Assessment and estimate: we review the exterior and envelope, then build an itemized scope and price
• 2. Tear-off and inspection: old cladding comes off and we confirm the condition of the sheathing beneath
• 3. Rainscreen and envelope: water-resistive barrier, flashing, and rainscreen installed to keep walls dry
• 4. Siding, windows, and trim: new cladding, windows, and detailing installed and finished
• 5. Cleanup and walkthrough: a clean site and a walkthrough before we hand the home back
