Greater Toronto Area mix of older homes in the east end and newer builds across the northwest means drainage needs vary widely by neighborhood. Whether you need a full replacement or a targeted repair, we assess your property first and recommend the right solution.
Spring snowmelt and summer storms are hard on aging eavestrough systems.
Get ahead of the problem with a free inspection and estimate from a team homeowners have trusted for over 15 years.
Replacing your eavestrough is a long-term investment in your home’s drainage and foundation. You need a crew that gets it right the first time and stands behind their work.
Most aluminum eavestrough systems last 20 to 30 years under normal conditions. Toronto’s freeze-thaw cycles and debris load can accelerate wear. If your system is sagging, pulling away from the fascia, or leaking at multiple points, replacement is likely more cost-effective than continued repairs.
Watch for water dripping behind the gutter, staining on the exterior siding, pooling at the base of your foundation, or visible sagging between hangers. Any of these points to a drainage problem that needs attention before it causes deeper structural damage.
Yes, when the right system is installed properly. The Alu-Rex systems we install are designed for Canadian weather conditions, including snow load and freeze-thaw cycles.
The T-Rex fastening system reinforces the entire gutter run while helping prevent debris buildup and carries a lifetime sturdiness warranty along with a 25-year prorated clog-free performance warranty.
The DoublePro microfiltration system uses dual layers of perforated aluminum to block leaves, debris, snow, and ice while allowing water to flow freely into the gutter. It includes a lifetime clog-free warranty and a lifetime sturdiness warranty on the system.
Cost depends on the linear footage of the roofline, the gutter profile size (5-inch or 6-inch), the number of downspouts required, and whether additional components such as drip edge or gutter guards are installed.
Most residential eavestrough replacement projects in Toronto range from a few hundred dollars for small sections to several thousand for full-home systems. We provide detailed, no-pressure estimates after inspecting your property so you know exactly what the project will cost before any work begins. The estimate is completely free.
Most Toronto homes perform well with a standard 5-inch seamless eavestrough system. Homes with larger roof surfaces, steeper roof pitches, or heavy tree coverage may benefit from 6-inch high-capacity eavestroughs that can handle greater water volume.
We determine the appropriate size based on your roof layout, drainage load, and downspout placement to ensure the system moves water away from the home efficiently.
Modern roofing standards include metal drip edge or eave flashing to direct water into the eavestrough system and protect the fascia from moisture. Many older Toronto homes were built without proper drip edge or have flashing that no longer performs correctly.
Without drip edge, water can travel behind the gutter and under the shingles, allowing moisture to reach the fascia board and roof deck. Over time this can lead to hidden rot and structural damage that often goes unnoticed until repairs become significant.
