About Our Company

How long has Century Aluminum been in business?

Century Aluminum has been serving homeowners across Toronto and the GTA since 2011. Over that time, we’ve completed thousands of eavestrough installation, siding, soffit, and fascia projects, focusing on proper installation, correct drainage, and long-term performance rather than short-term fixes.

Yes. We are a locally owned and operated exterior contractor based in Toronto, serving homeowners across Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Markham, and surrounding areas.

We provide exterior services across Toronto and most of the GTA, including Mississauga, Oakville, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Brampton, Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough.

We focus primarily on residential homes in these areas.

We specialize in seamless eavestrough installation, gutter repair, gutter guards, downspouts, soffit, fascia, and siding. Our focus is on complete exterior systems that manage water properly and protect your home from long-term damage.

We primarily focus on residential projects in the Greater Toronto Area outside of the downtown core. Most of our work is in suburban areas where access, rooflines, and project scope allow us to complete installations efficiently and safely.

We use in-house crews only — no subcontractors — which allows us to control the quality of every eavestrough, siding, soffit, and fascia project we complete.

Our estimates are done without sales pressure or commission-based salespeople. When we assess your home, you’re dealing with someone who understands the installation process, drainage requirements, and what actually works long term — not someone trying to close a deal.

We focus on proper installation details such as correct slope, hanger spacing, and downspout placement. These are the areas where most systems fail when done incorrectly.

Our goal is to build exterior systems that perform properly through Toronto and GTA weather conditions and last long term, not just look good on day one.

We bring product samples directly to your home during the estimate so you can review colors and material options in the actual lighting and against your existing exterior.

We also maintain a warehouse with materials and samples, which allows us to stay prepared for each project.

If you prefer to view full product displays, we can refer you to local supplier showrooms near you such as Gentek, where you can see a wider range of siding, soffit, fascia, and color options in person.

Our Process

What is your process from estimate to completion?

We start with an on-site inspection or an online estimate when possible, depending on the project. From there, we provide a clear written estimate outlining the scope of work, materials, and pricing.

Once approved, we schedule the project, complete the installation using our in-house team, and finish with a full inspection and cleanup to ensure everything is installed properly and performing as expected.

Yes. Every project includes a detailed written estimate outlining the scope of work, materials, pricing, estimated timeline, and proof of insurance.

Yes. All estimates are free and come with no obligation.

Yes. We assess your roofline, drainage layout, and existing eavestrough system before recommending any repair or replacement work. This ensures the solution is based on your actual property conditions.

Most eavestrough, soffit, and fascia projects are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity. Siding projects vary based on scope and property size, but most residential installations are completed within a few days.

Pricing & Expectations

How do you price your projects?

Pricing is based on linear footage, materials, system size, and installation complexity. We also factor in roofline design, downspout requirements, and overall drainage needs.

Every quote is tailored to your property to ensure the system is properly sized and installed for long-term performance.

No. Our estimates are clear and upfront. If anything unexpected comes up during the project, we review it with you first before proceeding. There are no surprise charges.

We focus on proper installation and long-term performance rather than competing on price alone.

Lower quotes often involve fewer hangers, improper slope, or undersized eavestrough systems, which can lead to overflow, sagging, and early failure.

Our goal is to install the system correctly the first time so you don’t have to deal with ongoing issues

Yes. We offer both 5-inch and 6-inch eavestrough systems depending on your roof size, pitch, and drainage requirements.

We also install gutter protection systems such as Alu-Rex T-Rex and DoublePro.

For siding projects, we offer vinyl, aluminum, and steel options in a range of colours and profiles.

Deposit requirements depend on the size and scope of the project. All payment terms are clearly outlined in your written estimate before any work begins.

Warranty & Support

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes. We provide a 3-year service warranty on our workmanship, along with manufacturer warranties on all materials used.

This ensures both the installation and the products are covered, giving you confidence that your eavestrough, siding, soffit, and fascia systems are built to last.

If an issue comes up after the job is completed, contact us directly and we will return to inspect it.

We stand behind our work and address any service-related concerns to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Yes. Our focus is on proper installation from the start so problems are avoided.

We build eavestrough and exterior systems to perform through Toronto and GTA weather conditions, and we remain available if service is needed after completion.

Our service warranty covers installation-related issues such as improper slope, fastening, or drainage performance. Manufacturer warranties cover the materials themselves. We explain all warranty details clearly before starting the project.

Project Experience

What types of homes do you work on?

We work on detached homes, semi-detached homes, townhouses, and custom homes across Toronto and the GTA. Each property type has different drainage and installation requirements, and we adjust our approach accordingly.

Yes. Many older Toronto and GTA homes require upgrades to eavestrough, soffit, and fascia systems that were installed decades ago.

These projects often involve correcting improper slope, replacing undersized gutters, and addressing hidden issues like fascia rot or missing drip edge.

Yes. We work on both new construction and renovation projects. Whether it’s installing a new siding and eavestrough system on a custom home or upgrading an older property, we ensure the system is properly designed for the structure.

Yes. We complete full exterior projects on larger homes, including siding installation, eavestrough, soffit, and fascia.

These projects require proper planning, coordination, and installation sequencing to ensure everything works together as a complete system.

Scheduling & Availability

How far in advance should I book?

During peak season, booking 2–3 weeks in advance is recommended. Availability can vary depending on project size and weather conditions, so earlier scheduling is always better.

Yes. We aim to complete all projects within the same season they are scheduled, provided timelines and weather conditions allow.

Yes. We prioritize urgent eavestrough and drainage issues and schedule repairs as quickly as possible to prevent further damage.

Eavestrough installation and repair can be completed year-round, including during winter when conditions allow.

While spring through fall is the busiest season, we continue working through winter on suitable days and projects.

Addressing issues early helps prevent water damage and avoids peak-season scheduling delays.

Common Homeowner Concerns

How do I know the job is done properly?

Proper performance comes down to correct installation details across the entire exterior system — including eavestrough, soffit, fascia, and siding.

For eavestroughs, this means correct slope, secure fastening, proper hanger spacing, and downspout placement so water drains away from the home.

For soffit, fascia, and siding, it involves proper ventilation, secure fastening, correct flashing, and clean finishing to prevent moisture from getting behind the system.

We focus on these details on every project to ensure everything works together and protects your home long term.

Our focus is to install the system properly the first time so issues are avoided.

If a service-related concern does come up after the project is completed, we are available to inspect it and make sure everything is performing as intended.

Most failures come from poor original installation, incorrect slope, or undersized eavestrough systems that were never designed to handle the roof’s water load.

Repairs often fix the visible issue, such as a leak or loose section, but do not address underlying problems like improper drainage or spacing.

When multiple issues are present, a properly installed replacement system is usually more reliable and cost-effective than continuing with repeated repairs.

Many homeowners contact us after dealing with contractors who don’t return calls, miss appointments, or fail to follow through on what was promised.

Our approach is simple — clear communication, reliable scheduling, and doing the job properly from start to finish.
