Rendering Tips for Vancouver
Vancouver had widespread EIFS water ingress problems in the 1990s — if buying a home with old EIFS, commission a moisture probe inspection.
Modern EIFS in Vancouver must be back-drained — verify your contractor is installing a drainage plane behind the cladding.
BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates may apply to EIFS upgrades that improve wall thermal performance.

Substrate check
Confirm your wall substrate — brick, block, AAC, fibre cement or weatherboard — before choosing a render system. Each has different bonding and compatibility requirements.
Climate consideration
Local climate affects render choice. Humid or coastal areas suit silicone or acrylic systems. Heritage zones often require lime render. Always ask your renderer what they recommend for your specific location.
Scaffolding
Scaffolding for double-storey homes is commonly excluded from render quotes. Confirm whether scaffolding is included and who arranges it before comparing quotes side by side.
