Seamless & Stylish Gutter Solutions for Your Bowen Island Home
Bowen Island’s lush landscape and abundant rainfall necessitate a reliable gutter system to protect your home from water damage. At Eco Exteriors, we offer custom-made seamless gutters that are not only durable and effective but also complement the unique charm of your island home.
Bowen Island’s lush forests and coastal environment create a unique set of challenges for your gutters. Heavy rainfall, falling leaves, and debris can quickly clog traditional sectional gutters, leading to leaks, overflow, and potential damage to your home’s foundation and landscaping.
Our seamless gutters are designed to withstand the rigours of island life. Crafted on-site to fit the exact dimensions of your home, they eliminate vulnerable seams and joints, ensuring a continuous, leak-proof channel that efficiently directs water away from your property.
Our Gutter Options:
Seamless Gutters: Our standard seamless gutters offer clean lines, reliable protection, and a variety of color options to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior.
Half Round Gutters: Imported from Europe, these classic gutters add a touch of sophistication. Choose from durable materials like copper or zinc for a look that complements the natural beauty of Bowen Island.
Internal Gutters: We specialize in the repair and replacement of internal gutter systems, commonly found in older Bowen Island homes, ensuring your home stays dry and protected even with unique architectural features.
No matter which style you choose, you can trust Eco Exteriors to provide top-quality gutter installation and repair services, tailored to the specific needs of your Bowen Island home. We understand the logistical challenges of working on the island and pride ourselves on delivering efficient, reliable, and exceptional service to our island neighbours.

FAQ: Your Questions Answered
The cost of a new roof on Bowen Island depends on several factors, including:
- Size and Complexity of Your Roof: Larger or more complex roofs will naturally cost more due to the increased materials and labour required.
- Roofing Material: Different materials have varying price points. Asphalt shingles are typically the most affordable, while metal and cedar can be more expensive. However, it's important to consider the long-term value and benefits of each material.

Bowen Island homeowners often favour roofing materials that complement the island's natural beauty and diverse architectural styles. Popular choices include:
