Sized for the storm
Profiles and downspouts matched to your roof, not whatever was on the truck.
Eavestrough · Soffit · Fascia
The quiet system that protects everything else.
Seamless aluminum eavestrough, soffit and fascia installed and repaired across the Caledon to Collingwood corridor. Sized for Ontario rain, snow melt and the spring thaw, so water goes where it should: away from your home.
Water management, done right
Foundations fail from the top down.
Undersized or failing eavestrough quietly damages the most expensive parts of a home: the foundation, the siding and the landscaping. We install seamless aluminum systems sized to your actual roof area and pitch, with downspouts placed to move water well away from the house.
If your existing system just needs a repair, we say so. If it is past saving, we explain why, with the evidence in front of you.
- Seamless aluminum troughs formed on site for clean, continuous runs.
- 5 inch and 6 inch profiles, matched to roof area, pitch and tree cover.
- Aluminum soffit and fascia to finish and ventilate the roofline.
- Repairs, re-slopes and downspout corrections on existing systems.
Why us
Why homeowners call us for eavestrough.
Built for winter
Hangers, slopes and ice handling specced for snow load and the spring melt.
Water moved away
Downspout placement and extensions that protect the foundation and gardens.
Roofline finished clean
Soffit and fascia detailed with the same care as the siding below it.
Our process
Assessed first, installed once.
We start with a free assessment of your existing system: where it overflows, where the slope is wrong, where fascia has gone soft. You get a clear written quote for what the house actually needs, whether that is a repair or a full replacement.
Install day is fast and tidy. Troughs are formed seamless on site, hangers go in at the right spacing, and we water-test before we leave. Most eavestrough work pairs naturally with siding and roofline projects.
John and Zack did all my sofit, facia, eavestroughs, and exterior siding. I couldn't be happier with the quality of work and craftsman ship. They were both very transparent on what needed to be done and gave me options.

Eavestrough questions, answered
What homeowners ask us about eavestrough.
Should I get 5 inch or 6 inch eavestroughs?
Five inch is the residential standard and handles most homes well. Six inch carries roughly half again more water and earns its keep on large roofs, steep pitches and homes under heavy tree cover, which describes a lot of properties on the escarpment. We size to your roof, not to a default.
Do 6 inch eavestroughs need bigger downspouts?
Yes. A six inch trough should drain through 3x4 inch downspouts rather than the standard 2x3. Pairing a big trough with small downspouts is a common corner-cut that defeats the upgrade. We spec the system as a whole.
What does seamless eavestrough actually mean?
The trough is roll-formed on site in one continuous length per run, so the only joints are at corners and outlets. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak, sag or catch debris, which is why seamless aluminum has become the standard we install.
Are gutter guards worth it in Ontario?
Under heavy tree cover, usually yes: they cut cleaning from several times a year to an occasional rinse. They are not maintenance-free, and in winter ice can still form on top of any guard. If your trees are light, the honest answer is that twice-a-year cleaning may serve you better than the upfront cost.
Do gutter guards cause ice dams?
Guards do not cause ice dams, but they do not prevent them either. Ice dams come from heat escaping the attic and melting snow that refreezes at the cold eave. Clean, properly sloped troughs reduce the severity, and the real fix is attic insulation and ventilation. We will tell you which problem your house actually has.
How often should eavestroughs be cleaned?
At least twice a year, spring and late fall, and more often under pines. Overflowing troughs in a summer storm are usually just blocked outlets, while persistent overflow in normal rain points to slope or sizing problems worth fixing properly.
When is the best time to replace eavestroughs?
Before freeze-up. A failing system going into winter means ice where you do not want it and melt water against the foundation all spring. Fall books up fast for exactly this reason, so the ideal time to get a quote is late summer.
Should eavestrough be replaced with the roof or siding?
If both are due, sequence matters: roof first, then eavestrough, with siding work coordinated around the fascia. Doing them together means the flashing, fascia and trough details actually line up, which is a big reason clients have one crew handle the whole exterior.
