Choosing the right eavestrough contractor is important because poor drainage can cause serious foundation and water damage over time. Our professional installation team ensures proper water flow around your home by designing and installing an eavestrough system with durable materials, secure joints, and correctly placed downspouts.
We also have:
Each home is carefully assessed and measured to determine the right layout and drainage solution. This approach helps ensure long-term performance and a professionally installed system backed by a workmanship and material warranty.

A seamless eavestrough is formed as one continuous piece of aluminum without joints along the length of the gutter. The eavestrough is custom-made on site using a roll-forming machine mounted in our installation trucks.
Because there are no seams along the run, seamless eavestroughs reduce the risk of leaks and improve long-term performance compared to sectional systems.
You can see how seamless systems are installed in our Gutter Installation Guide.
Eavestroughs play an important role in protecting a home from water damage by directing rain and snowmelt away from the foundation. Worn, damaged, or missing eavestroughs can lead to issues such as basement water infiltration, siding deterioration, and soil erosion around the property.
Installing a properly designed eavestrough system helps manage water flow efficiently in all weather conditions. Modern aluminum eavestroughs are durable, low maintenance, and available in a variety of colors to complement the appearance of your home.

The cost of eavestrough installation services can vary because each home is different. Factors such as roof size, number of storeys, layout, accessibility, and the amount of downspouts required all affect final pricing.
For this reason, accurate pricing can only be provided after an on-site assessment. A professional evaluation allows measurements to be taken and drainage requirements to be reviewed, ensuring the recommended system fits the home properly. Free estimates are typically provided following this assessment. You can request an estimate through Contact Us.
Homeowners do not need to be present during the installation, as long as the installation area is accessible and an exterior power outlet is available for our equipment.
However, it is important for the homeowner to be present during the initial assessment. This allows us to review the home’s layout, drainage needs, and any specific concerns to ensure the eavestrough system is properly designed before installation begins.
This assessment process is explained in more detail under Eavestrough Installation.
The number of downspouts required depends on the size, layout, and roof configuration of the home. Larger roof surfaces and steeper roof pitches typically require additional downspouts to handle higher water volumes.
Downpipe Water Management. As a general guideline, one downspout is often recommended for approximately every 30 to 40 linear feet of eavestrough. During an on-site assessment, the layout and drainage needs of the home are reviewed to determine proper downspout placement and overall proper eavestrough sizing for effective water flow. Learn more about proper placement in Downpipe Water Management.
Seamless aluminum eavestroughs are generally more durable and reliable than plastic gutter systems. Plastic gutters can expand and contract with temperature changes, which may cause joints to loosen and leak over time.
Seamless aluminum eavestroughs are formed from a single continuous aluminum coil with fewer joints, reducing the risk of leaks. They also hold their shape better in extreme weather conditions and offer longer-lasting performance when properly installed.

Eavestrough leaks can be caused by several factors, not all of which are related to the age of the system. Common causes include improper slope, missing or damaged drip edge, roof flashing issues near end caps, and water travelling behind the eavestrough due to curled or worn shingles.
In some cases, leaks may also be caused by clogged sections or ice buildup that prevents proper water flow, especially under Ontario weather conditions. A professional inspection can help identify the cause and determine whether repairs or replacement are needed. Sizing issues can also contribute — see 5" vs 6" Eavestrough.
Gutter guard systems help prevent leaves, debris, and buildup from clogging eavestrough systems and restricting water flow. When gutters become clogged, water can overflow, back up, or freeze during colder months, potentially causing damage to the home.
Installing gutter guards reduces the need for frequent gutter cleaning and helps maintain proper drainage throughout the year. When properly selected and installed, gutter guards allow water to flow freely while blocking debris, helping protect the eavestrough system and surrounding areas.

All new eavestrough installations include a workmanship warranty as well as a manufacturer’s warranty on materials. Our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues, while material warranties vary depending on the products used.
Warranty support is available year-round, and details are reviewed during the estimate so homeowners have a clear understanding of coverage before installation begins.
Warranty information will be stated in your estimate.
