Fibre Cement Siding (James Hardie)

We install the full line of James Hardie fibre cement products, known for their unbeatable mix of durability, weather resistance, and style. Fibre cement siding holds up against moisture, UV exposure, fire, and pests — making it one of the best options for Vancouver Island homes.

We offer:

• Hardie Plank: Traditional horizontal lap siding in smooth or woodgrain finishes
• Hardie Panel: Vertical paneling, often used in board & batten designs
• Hardie Shake: Ideal for gables or decorative walls; mimics the look of cedar with less maintenance
• Hardie Trim: Durable corner and edge boards for clean, finished edges

Hardie siding is color-stable (ColorPlus® technology), low-maintenance, and backed by long-term warranties.

Board & Batten Systems

Board and batten siding — typically using HardiePanel with trim battens — offers a clean, vertical design often seen in farmhouse or coastal-style homes. It provides solid protection from the elements and excellent design versatility when mixed with lap or shake styles.

We ensure all board & batten installs include proper moisture gaps, cap flashings, and breathable wraps to prevent hidden water damage.

Cedar & Pine Siding

For customers seeking a natural, West Coast finish, we install cedar and pine siding in a variety of profiles including bevel, channel, and tongue-and-groove. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and brings warmth and texture that synthetic materials can’t fully replicate.

We use only quality-grade cedar (clear or knotty) and finish every install with the right stains, sealants, and breathable assembly methods to ensure beauty and longevity.

Cedar or Pine Soffits and Fascia

We custom-build and install tongue-and-groove soffits and fascia boards using western red cedar or pine. These add warmth and contrast under eaves and entryways and are a popular pairing with both Hardie and cedar siding projects.

Proper venting and rain protection is integrated into every soffit install to meet BC Building Code and ensure long-term roof health.

---

Aluminum Soffits and Fascia

For a maintenance-free option, we also install vented aluminum soffits and aluminum fascia wrap, often used on modern or mixed-material homes. Aluminum won’t rot or warp, and it’s ideal for customers looking for low-maintenance protection that still looks crisp and clean.

---

Comb Face Window and Door Trims

We custom-install comb face trims around all windows and doors, using either fibre cement or natural wood. These trims provide a clean architectural outline, cover joints, and protect against water intrusion. Options include traditional flat stock, colonial profiles, and modern shadow line details depending on the home style.

---

Decorative Belly Bands and Horizontal Trims

Belly bands — also called transition trims — are used to divide siding vertically between stories or styles (e.g., Hardie Plank on the bottom, shake on top). They provide both aesthetic appeal and structural coverage. We install all belly bands with drip edge caps and sealed back-flashings to keep water out of the wall cavity.

Waterproofing, Venting & Envelope Detailing

At Dcxteriors, we don’t just install siding — we build high-performance exterior envelopes that breathe, shed water, and last for decades.

Every job includes:

• Tyvek or comparable house wrap for breathable weather resistance
• Rainscreen systems (typically 10mm strapping) to create an air gap behind siding and meet BC code
• Bug screen mesh at top and bottom of walls to keep pests out of the cavity
• Proper flashing and drip edge details above windows, belly bands, and seams
• Color-matched caulking and professional-grade sealants on all gaps and penetrations
• High-performance corner trims, gable ends, and soffit returns

These small but crucial details are what keep exteriors watertight — especially on Vancouver Island where heavy rains, wind, and coastal exposure are common.

Siding Repairs and Replacements

Whether you’re dealing with rot, water damage, poorly installed siding, or just want to upgrade the look of your home, we offer full siding replacements and targeted repair services. We’ll assess the damage, remove the failing sections, and replace them with long-lasting materials using proper modern standards.

We take care to match existing styles when needed, or we can help you modernize the entire look with new profiles and color options.
