Exterior construction & custom woodwork
Breakwater Exteriors provides siding, decks, fences, sheds, door & window replacement, stairs & railing, and custom woodwork across Powell River and the Qathet Regional District. Every project is carried out by a Journeyman Red Seal Carpenter, fully insured and WorkSafeBC covered, and backed by a written labour guarantee.
Siding that stands up to the coast
Properly flashed, weather-tight siding is the first line of defence against west coast rain and salt air. We install and finish a full range of materials, matched to your home and budget:
- Fibre cementDurable, low-maintenance and fire-resistant — ideal for our wet climate.
- VinylCost-effective and easy to maintain, in a wide range of colours.
- CedarA classic west coast look, installed to breathe and last.
- MetalModern, long-lasting and tough against the elements.
Decks built for west coast living
From a simple back deck to a multi-level build on a sloped coastal lot, we frame solid and finish clean. Quality decking, properly engineered structure, and railings designed to last — so your outdoor space is ready for the view and the weather.
Fences built straight and solid
Privacy fences, property-line fencing and feature fences — set with the right posts and footings for our soil and weather, and finished to look good from both sides. Built to stay straight and stand up to coastal wind and rain.
Sheds, workshops & outbuildings
Storage sheds, workshops and accessory structures framed and finished to match your home — not flat-pack kits. Built on proper footings with siding and roofing that hold up to the coast.
Tight, properly-flashed installs
A new door or window is only as good as the install behind it. We replace exterior doors and windows with careful flashing and sealing that keeps the weather out — improving comfort, efficiency and curb appeal.
Safe stairs & railings, built to the site
Exterior stairs and railings that are safe, code-compliant and built to fit the slope and the site — whether it's a few steps to a porch or a long run down to the water.
The projects that need a carpenter
Pergolas, privacy screens, timber details, gates, and one-off exterior builds — the creative work that doesn't come out of a catalogue. If you have an idea, bring it to us and we'll tell you honestly what it takes to build it right.
