Steel & Aluminum Siding for Vancouver Buildings
Metal siding has become one of the most sought-after cladding choices for modern homes and commercial buildings in Vancouver. Steel and aluminum panels deliver a sleek, contemporary look with outstanding durability, and unlike wood they won't rot, crack or feed mould in our damp coastal climate. Metal cladding is also non-combustible, an important advantage for fire resistance.
As exterior and cladding specialists, Nixon Exteriors installs steel siding, aluminum siding, standing-seam panels, board-and-batten metal profiles and wood-look metal siding across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Every install is paired with proper rainscreen, flashing and a building-envelope approach for a weathertight finish. For homeowners who prefer the warmth of natural wood, we also install and finish traditional wood siding.

How Much Does Metal Siding Cost in Vancouver?
Metal siding in Vancouver typically costs between $12 and $30 per square foot installed, depending on the material (steel vs. aluminum), profile, finish and building complexity. Standing-seam and specialty wood-look panels sit at the higher end. While metal siding costs more upfront than vinyl, its 40+ year lifespan and minimal maintenance make it a strong long-term investment. We provide an itemised quote after a site assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is metal siding a good choice for Vancouver's climate?
Yes. Steel and aluminum siding resist moisture, won't rot or feed mould, and stand up extremely well to Vancouver's rain. When installed with proper rainscreen and flashing, metal cladding is one of the most durable exterior options available.
What is the difference between steel and aluminum siding?
Steel is stronger and more impact-resistant, making it ideal for durability and larger commercial applications. Aluminum is lighter and naturally corrosion-resistant, which suits coastal environments. We help you choose based on your building, budget and design goals.
Can metal siding look like wood?
Yes. Modern wood-look metal siding uses advanced print and finish technology to replicate the appearance of natural wood grain while offering the durability and low maintenance of metal.
Do you also install real wood siding?
Yes. In addition to metal cladding, we install and finish traditional wood siding for homeowners who want the natural warmth of real wood, along with the proper detailing needed to protect it in our wet climate.
How long does metal siding last?
Quality steel and aluminum siding can last 40 years or more with minimal maintenance, significantly outlasting vinyl and requiring far less upkeep than wood.
