How can I tell if my eavestroughs need to be replaced?

Look for: Rust streaks or peeling paint; eavestroughs pulling away from fascia; water pooling around your foundation; ice dams in winter; overflowing during rainstorms; black, green, or mold‑like growth on the gutters or siding (a sign of poor drainage and moisture buildup).

High Quality Eavestrough Replacement, Installation, & Protection

Q: What size gutters are best for Ontario homes?

We install 5" or 6" aluminum gutters, but most homes benefit from the larger 6" size (especially during storms or freeze‑thaw cycles when flow capacity matters most).

Q: Do I need gutter guard installation near trees or heavy foliage?

Absolutely. Gutter protection systems like the Gutter Clean System® keep out leaves, seeds, and shingle grit, which saves you hours of cleanup while preventing clogs that can lead to overflow and foundation damage.

Q: Can I add gutter guards to existing eavestroughs?

Yes. We install the Alu‑Rex Gutter Clean System®, designed specifically for upgrading existing systems with modern protection.

Q: Is it worth installing vinyl or copper gutters?

Vinyl is budget‑friendly but not recommended for Ontario’s climate because it cracks easily in the cold. Copper gutters are beautiful and long‑lasting but significantly more expensive. We find aluminum eavestroughs with Alu‑Rex protection strike the best balance between price, durability, and performance.

Built to Withstand Ontario Weather With Canadian Aluminum & Gutter Guards

Stop water damage before it starts with eavestrough replacement, leaf filters, and clog-free protection. When your gutters fail, water doesn’t just overflow, it seeps into foundations, warps siding, and wreaks havoc on your home’s structure. That’s why professional eavestrough installation matters.

Eavestrough vs. Gutter: What’s the Difference?

Nothing really, just two names for the same system. Americans typically use the term “gutter” more than us Canadians who’ve historically used “eavestroughs”. Regardless, both eavestroughs and gutters refer to the channels that direct rainwater off your roof and away from your home.

What Our Clients Say

We recently had work done from a recommendation by our neighbors. Great experience from the initial visit when Wendle came out to give us a quote, to the amazing job that Jasmin and his team did for us. We are so happy that we went with this company..

I'm writing this review because they were so important to us when trying to find a company to replace all of our soffit, facia, eaves and downspouts.. It was apparent that this company was providing a well regarded product and people were very happy with the service. They did not disappoint.

I was impressed with the asbestos replacement at my house which was completed on schedule. The work scope and budget were provided early enough and executed without any delay. All materials used were of high quality and up to date..

At all levels, from the estimate to dealing with scheduling, to the job crew, this group was efficient and personable. Communications were fast and friendly, and the job was completed as estimated, and beautifully done..

I couldn't be happier with the results. They took the time to assess my home needs, provided a fair and clear quote. From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual and highly skilled. They completed the job with impeccable attention to detail..

The owner, was reliable, easy to communicate with. He provided honest advice without any pressure or upselling, which we really appreciated. We are glad we decided to work with The Eavestrough Company and we highly recommend them to others..

Company and their owner Wendell where professional, friendly, honest (which is rare in the construction industry) and very helpful. They helped me out big time, pushed my project ahead of time as well. Very well executed, friendly & professional.

Very professional in every aspect! Honest price as well, definitely recommend The Eavestrough Company!

Communication was excellent, and they were able to fit us in before the winter season was in full swing, saving us from another winter of excessive salting in the areas where we had melting/leaking/pooling/freezing..

They were great from start to finish! My house visually looks so much cleaner now and shortly after they left we had a major downpour and it was so nice to no longer see "Niagara falls" pouring out the side of our home!

I needed to install new eavestroughs for my garage.. I am pleased with the work he did. He also showed me how to install and uninstall the extra downspout for the rain barrel, which I needed to put away for the cold weather..

The double membrane keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.

The suction created by the two membranes increases the drainage capacity to three times the volume of the heaviest storms, allowing the lower membrane to draw water through larger perforations. This provides a drainage capacity of 40.6 in (1,031 mm) of water per hour per linear foot.

FAQs: Gutter Installation & Protection in Ontario

Finding the right eavestrough replacement and gutter installation information can be overwhelming. You’re in the right place.

1. How much does gutter installation cost in Ontario?

Eavestrough/gutter installation costs depend on the size of your home, the number of stories, and the materials used. Every home is unique and depending on the size and project, more (or less) materials and time is required. We provide free, detailed estimates for our Canadian-sourced aluminum eavestroughs with no obligation so you know exactly what to expect.

2. What’s the average cost of eavestrough replacement?

The cost of a full eavestrough replacement depends on your home’s layout and whether you want to add gutter guard leaf protection. Canadian-sourced aluminum gutters alongside a system like Alu-Rex’s T-Rex® or DoublePro™ will increase the value and lifespan of the install (and your home). It’s worth every penny.

3. Is seamless gutter installation really better?

Yes. Seamless gutters reduce leaks, improve curb appeal, and last longer than sectional systems. Since there are no joints along the run, there are fewer weak points where leaks can form over time. We will custom-fit our eavestroughs to your home with hand-mitred corner

4. What size gutters are best for Ontario homes?

We install 5″ or 6″ aluminum gutters, but most homes benefit from the larger 6″ size (especially during storms or freeze-thaw cycles when flow capacity matters most).

5. Do I need gutter guard installation near trees or heavy foliage?

Absolutely. Gutter protection systems like the Gutter Clean System® keep out leaves, seeds, and shingle grit, which saves you hours of cleanup while preventing clogs that can lead to overflow and foundation damage.

6. Can I add gutter guards to existing gutters?

Yes. We install the Alu-Rex Gutter Clean System®, designed specifically for upgrading existing systems with modern protection.

7. What’s the difference between gutter covers and gutter guards?

They’re often used interchangeably. “Gutter guard” is a general term, while “gutter cover” typically refers to a solid-surface system. We recommend perforated aluminum guards, like T-Rex® or DoublePro™, because they allow water in but block everything else so you don’t get warping, cracking, or collapsing.

8. Is it worth installing vinyl or copper gutters?

Vinyl is budget-friendly but not recommended for Ontario’s climate because it cracks easily in the cold. Copper gutters are beautiful and long-lasting but significantly more expensive. We find aluminum eavestroughs with Alu-Rex protection strike the best balance between price, durability, and performance.

9. How can I tell if my gutters need to be replaced?

Look for:

Rust streaks or peeling paint
Gutters pulling away from fascia
Water pooling around your foundation
Ice dams in winter
Overflowing during rainstorms
Black, green, or mold-like growth on the gutters or siding (a sign of poor drainage and moisture buildup)

10. Can I install gutters myself?

Technically, yes (but we don’t recommend it). Installing gutters incorrectly can lead to poor drainage, water damage, or safety risks. Professional installation (we custom-fit our aluminum gutters on-site) ensures proper slope, secure fastening, and leak-free connections, which are especially important in Ontario’s freeze-thaw climate.

11. Isn't it better go to the 'Big Box' retailers to install gutters?

The honest truth: big-box stores often subcontract gutter installation. And on top of that, they likely use foreign-sourced aluminum for their eavestroughs. While advertised prices may appear low, they probably don’t offer the same premium materials, hand-mitred corners, and warranty-backed aluminum that we do. We use heavy-duty Canadian-made aluminum (Gentek, RBS, and Kaycan sourced) and back it with a 25-Year Manufacturer Warranty.

12. How do you estimate how much gutter you need?

We calculate your total linear footage based on your roofline, pitch, and layout. Add to that the number and placement of downspouts to ensure proper drainage. During your free estimate, we provide a clear breakdown of footage, components, and pricing.

13. How long do aluminum gutters last?

Well-installed aluminum gutters typically last 20–30 years, especially when paired with leaf guards like T-Rex® or DoublePro™. Proper installation and protection from clogs extend their lifespan and performance significantly.

14. When should I consider upgrading or replacing my eavestroughs and gutters?

Is your system cracked, pulling away, or overflowing? If so, you’re on the verge of serious water damage. Or maybe you’re looking to improve the look, quality, or colour of your gutters? We’ve got you. Our team will walk you through the process of a complete eavestrough replacement and upgrade, using Canadian-made aluminum backed by a 25-Year Manufacturer Warranty.
