Exteriors built to last
on the BC coast.
Siding, facades, decks, additions and curb-appeal upgrades — designed, permitted and built by one team with the rainscreen detailing and weatherproofing this climate demands.
Vancouver exteriors need more than a paint job.
The Lower Mainland averages more than 160 wet days a year. That moisture is relentless — it finds every gap in a cladding system and works its way into framing, sheathing and insulation before any visible damage appears. By the time a homeowner notices a soft spot or a stained ceiling, the repair bill has already grown significantly. The exterior of a Vancouver home isn't cosmetic — it's the building envelope, and it has to be done right.
Renohaus treats exterior work as a full building-science exercise. That means proper rainscreen detailing, flashing at every penetration, and cladding materials selected for long-term performance in a marine climate — not just for how they look on the day we finish. Everything is permitted, inspected and backed by a written workmanship warranty.
What exterior renovations can cover
- Siding and cladding — fibre cement, engineered wood, cedar, stucco remediation
- Facades and entryways — porches, columns, trim, front-door surrounds
- Decks and outdoor living — composite and timber decks, covered patios, pergolas
- Windows and exterior doors — new frames, improved sealing and drainage
- Additions — room additions, sunrooms and structural exterior changes
- Curb-appeal upgrades — paint, cladding mix, lighting and landscaping integration
From site assessment to finished facade.
Assess the Building Envelope
On-site inspection of the existing cladding, substrate, flashings and drainage plane — so we scope the work accurately from the start.
Design, Materials & Permits
Cladding selection, colour and detail drawings, then we pull all required permits through your municipality before a single nail goes in.
Build with Proper Weatherproofing
Housewrap, rainscreen cavity, flashing at windows and penetrations — coast-grade detailing that keeps water out for the long term.
Walkthrough & Warranty
Final inspection together, deficiency list cleared, and a written workmanship warranty on all labour and installations.
Exterior renovation pricing in Greater Vancouver.
Every exterior project is quoted to the specific home — wall area, existing substrate condition, selected cladding and the scope of any structural work all factor in. These ranges give you a starting point for planning conversations.
- New siding or facade refresh ($25K–$80K) — depends on house size, existing substrate condition and material choice; rainscreen and housewrap are always included
- Deck or patio ($15K–$45K) — composite or timber decking, railing, permit and structural footings; covered structures sit toward the upper end
- Additions and structural exterior work — scoped per project after a site review; additions require architectural drawings and a full building permit
Coast-grade weatherproofing — proper drainage plane, flashings at every opening and a rainscreen cavity where code or substrate requires it — is built into every scope, not an add-on. Many older Vancouver and Burnaby homes also need window-frame repairs or sheathing replacement uncovered during demo; we flag anything like that before work begins, not mid-project.

Exterior renovations across Greater Vancouver.
We build exteriors throughout Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond and Surrey. Every community on the coast shares the same basic challenge — sustained rainfall, salt air from the inlet and the temperature swings that come with it — but each municipality has its own permit office and its own inspection process. We handle that locally, whether your home is a character house in East Van, a rancher in Richmond or a post-and-beam on the North Shore.
Questions, answered.
Fibre cement (HardiePlank) and engineered wood both perform well on the BC coast — they resist moisture, won't rot and hold paint far longer than standard wood. We install them with a full rainscreen gap and housewrap so water that does get behind the cladding has a clear drainage path. The right material depends on your home's existing structure and the look you want; we walk through options at the estimate.
Yes. Decks and outdoor living areas are a common part of an exterior project. We design, permit and build composite or timber decks, covered patios and pergolas. Anything attached to the house requires a building permit, which we handle through your municipality.
Replacing siding on the same footprint rarely needs a permit on its own, though adding a rainscreen layer that changes the wall thickness sometimes does. Decks, additions, new window openings and any structural changes all need permits — and the rules vary by city. We manage the permit process so you don't have to navigate each municipality's requirements yourself.
A siding or facade project typically runs 2–4 weeks depending on the size of the home; a deck adds 1–2 weeks on top. Exterior work is consistently among the highest-return renovations because it's the first thing a buyer or appraiser sees. Fresh cladding, a finished facade and a well-built deck make a measurable difference to both curb appeal and listing price.
