Cleaning Eavestrough Before Gutter Guard Installation

We don't offer eavestrough cleaning as a separate service. However, a complete clean-out is always included when we install gutter guards. Before installing the guards, we make sure your eavestroughs are clear of all debris and functioning correctly to ensure the best long-term performance. Our focus is on delivering lasting solutions, not short-term fixes.

Yes, we stand behind our workmanship and materials. Our eavestrough and gutter guard installations come with a warranty covering installation defects and manufacturer issues. The specific terms may vary depending on the product, but you can expect long-term protection and peace of mind. We'll go over all warranty details with you before the work begins.

Most residential eavestrough or gutter guard installations can be completed in one day, depending on the size and complexity of your home. Larger or multi-storey homes may take longer. Weather conditions and necessary prep work (such as removing old systems) can also affect the timeline. Your installer will provide a more accurate estimate after an on-site assessment.

We use aluminum and steel for our eavestrough installations, depending on your home's needs and preferences. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and cost-effective. At the same time, steel offers added strength and durability, making it ideal for areas with heavy snow or ice. We install premium micro-mesh systems for gutter guards to keep out leaves, pine needles, and debris while allowing water to flow freely. All materials are chosen for long-term performance in harsh Canadian weather.

The terms "eavestrough" and "gutter" are often used interchangeably. Still, they refer to the same system with slight regional differences in terminology. In Canada, "eavestrough" is the more commonly used term, while "gutter" is more widely used in the United States. Both describe the narrow channel that runs along the edge of your roof to collect and direct rainwater away from your home's foundation. Whether you call them eavestroughs or gutters, their function is the same: to protect your property from water damage by properly managing roof runoff.

Signs you may need new eavestroughs include sagging, rust, persistent leaks, separated joints, or water pooling near your foundation. If your eavestroughs are older and showing multiple issues, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. However, minor problems like loose brackets or small leaks can usually be fixed with a quick repair. A professional inspection can help determine the best course of action.

Gutter guards are highly effective at blocking most types of debris, including leaves, pine needles, twigs, and even shingle grit. While no system is 100% maintenance-free, high-quality micro mesh guards drastically reduce the amount of buildup and the need for regular cleaning. Occasional inspections are still recommended to ensure everything is flowing correctly.
