How Does Nixon Exteriors Install Siding Differently?
Siding done right starts behind the cladding. Nixon Exteriors installs every exterior over a properly detailed, ventilated rainscreen — the drained, dried cavity that keeps Vancouver's rain out of the wall — so the finish you see is backed by a wall assembly built to last in a coastal climate.
We install the full range of cladding materials: James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, and metal & ACM (aluminum composite) panels. Past projects range from character homes to commercial and strata buildings. We serve 21 communities across Metro Vancouver & the Fraser Valley.
Every siding installation we complete follows a documented, repeatable routine. We install the water-resistive barrier, detail flashing at every opening and penetration, fasten the rainscreen furring, and finish with the cladding — assemblies built to meet the BC Building Code and City of Vancouver rainscreen requirements.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on siding materials, rainscreen requirements, the building-envelope work we do, and the communities we serve across Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
How much does siding installation cost in Vancouver?
Siding cost depends on the material (James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, or metal/ACM panels), the size and complexity of the walls, and whether a full rainscreen and building-envelope upgrade is involved. Nixon Exteriors provides free, no-obligation site assessments and written quotes. Call 778-806-2724.
What areas does Nixon Exteriors serve in BC?
Nixon Exteriors serves Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, Langley, White Rock, Maple Ridge, and Abbotsford.
What siding materials does Nixon Exteriors install?
We install James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, and metal & ACM (aluminum composite) panel cladding. We help you choose the right material for your building, budget, and exposure, then install it over a properly detailed rainscreen.
What is a rainscreen and is it required in Vancouver?
A rainscreen is a ventilated cavity behind the cladding that drains and dries any water that gets past the exterior finish. In Vancouver's wet coastal climate, rainscreen wall assemblies are required for many buildings under the BC Building Code and City of Vancouver requirements. Nixon Exteriors installs all siding over a code-compliant rainscreen.
Does Nixon Exteriors handle the full building envelope?
Yes. Beyond siding and cladding we detail the complete building envelope — rainscreen systems, weather-resistive barriers and waterproofing, flashing, and exterior insulation — so the whole wall assembly keeps water out and performs as one system.
