You would be surprised how much structural damage a poorly functioning gutter system can cause. Eavestroughs that are sagging, clogged, pulling away from the fascia, or missing altogether allow water to pool against your foundation, saturate your soil, and infiltrate the areas around your windows and doors.
Fascia boards that have rotted or been compromised by water are not just cosmetic problems. They are the primary attachment point for your eavestrough system. If your fascia is soft or deteriorating, your gutters cannot do their job regardless of how new they are.
Soffits handle attic ventilation. When they are damaged or blocked, your attic loses its ability to breathe properly, which leads directly to moisture buildup, mold growth, and in Calgary winters, the ice dams that put significant stress on your entire roofing system.
If you are already dealing with roofing concerns at the same time, we handle both through our residential roofing services so you only need one contractor for the full exterior.
Seamless Aluminum Gutters - No Joints, No Weak Points
We install 5-inch and 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters fabricated on-site to the exact dimensions of your home. Seamless gutters have no mid-span joints, which are the primary failure points on sectional systems. Fewer joints means fewer leaks and a longer service life.
Proper Slope and Drainage Engineering
A gutter installed level looks right but drains wrong. We calculate the correct pitch for every run so water moves toward your downspouts efficiently instead of pooling and sitting. Pooling water is what bends gutters, causes rust, and eventually pulls the entire system away from your fascia.
Fascia Inspection and Replacement
Before we attach anything, we inspect your fascia boards for rot, softness, or damage. If your fascia needs replacing before the new gutters go on, we take care of it. Installing new gutters on compromised fascia is a waste of your money and ours.
Soffit Installation That Keeps Your Attic Healthy
We install aluminum and vented soffit systems that provide the airflow your attic needs to stay dry through Calgary winters. Properly ventilated soffits work in conjunction with ridge vents to create the airflow that prevents condensation, mold, and ice dam formation. According to Natural Resources Canada, proper attic ventilation is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce heating costs and moisture problems in Canadian homes.
Optional Leaf Guard Systems
Calgary has enough trees in established neighborhoods to clog a standard eavestrough every fall. We offer leaf guard installations that keep debris out without blocking water flow, reducing how often you need to clean your gutters and extending their life.
Fully Code-Compliant Installation
Every installation we do meets Alberta residential construction standards. See the current requirements at alberta.ca/building-codes-and-standards.
We Stand Behind Our Work Post-storm, Calgary sees a surge of out-of-town contractors making promises they don’t keep. We’re a local, BBB A+ accredited business with 126 reviews and a 4.9★ rating. We live and work here too; and we’ll be here after the job is done.
We handle the full range of exterior drainage and ventilation work for Calgary homes.
New eavestrough installation using seamless aluminum fabricated to your home's measurements. Available in 5-inch and 6-inch profiles with a full range of colours to match your exterior. We include downspout installation and proper slope calculation as part of every install.
If your current gutters are pulling away, rusting, cracked, or just too far gone for repair, we remove the old system completely and install new seamless aluminum in its place. We also replace hangers and fascia as needed before mounting the new gutters.
Not every problem needs a full replacement. Loose hangers, minor cracks, separated joints, or downspouts pulling away from the wall can often be fixed efficiently without touching the rest of the system. We assess first and give you the honest answer.
Rotted or damaged fascia boards are replaced with new material before any eavestrough work is done. We match the profile and finish as closely as possible to your existing exterior.
We install aluminum and vented soffit panels for both new installs and replacements. If your existing soffits are damaged, sagging, showing pest infiltration, or simply not providing adequate ventilation, we handle the full replacement and ensure the new system meets ventilation requirements for your attic space.
We install leaf guard systems over existing or new eavestroughs to keep debris out and reduce maintenance. Particularly useful for homes surrounded by mature trees in Calgary's established neighborhoods.
Knowing what to look for can save you from expensive foundation or interior water damage.
From the Ground
Look for gutters that are visibly pulling away from the fascia, sagging in the middle of a run, or sitting at an angle that pitches water away from the downspout instead of toward it. Peeling paint or water staining on your fascia boards directly below the gutter line indicates water is overflowing or backing up behind the system. Rust stains running down your siding from gutter seams are a clear sign of joint failures.
After Rain
Walk around your home during or immediately after heavy rain. Water should be exiting cleanly through your downspouts. If you see water sheeting over the front edge of your gutters, the system is either clogged or undersized. If water is dripping behind the gutter, the flashing or the gutter lip is damaged.
At the Foundation
Ground-level erosion channels directly below your gutters or downspout discharge points mean your drainage is not directing water far enough away from your home. Wet basement walls or basement water infiltration after heavy rain is one of the most expensive consequences of a failing eavestrough system.
At Your Soffits
Soffits that are discolored, soft to the touch, or showing visible holes or gaps may have pest infiltration or moisture damage. Wasps and birds frequently enter attic spaces through damaged soffits, causing additional problems beyond the ventilation issues.
We assess your full eavestrough system, fascia, and soffits and give you a written quote. If your fascia needs work before gutters can be mounted, we tell you upfront. No surprises.
Step 2 - Material Selection
We review your options with you – gutter size, colour, leaf guard preferences – and confirm the scope of work before scheduling.
Step 3 - Installation Day
We fabricate your seamless gutters on-site, replace any fascia that needs it, and install the complete system in a single visit for most homes. We calculate pitch, secure every hanger, and test drainage before we leave.
Step 4 - Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
We walk the system with you, explain the downspout placement and drainage direction, and clean up completely before we go.
Water that has nowhere to go finds a way in. Foundation repairs in Calgary can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Basement waterproofing is not cheap. A new eavestrough system is a fraction of those costs and prevents exactly this kind of damage from happening.
We install and repair eavestrough systems across Calgary and nearby communities.

Most Calgary homeowners with mature trees nearby should clean their eavestroughs at least twice a year – once in late spring after tree seeds and blossoms fall, and once in late fall after leaves are down. Homes without significant tree coverage can often get by with one cleaning per year. Leaf guard systems reduce this frequency significantly.
Most residential homes in Calgary use 5-inch K-style gutters. Homes with large roof surface areas, steep pitches, or significant overhangs may benefit from 6-inch gutters to handle higher water volume during heavy rain. We determine the right size during our free inspection based on your roof’s square footage and pitch.
Quality seamless aluminum eavestroughs installed correctly typically last 20 to 30 years in Calgary’s climate. The primary failure points are fasteners, hangers, and the joints on sectional systems. Seamless gutters eliminate the joint failures and can reach the upper end of that range with basic maintenance.
You can, but proper eavestrough installation requires the correct slope calculation, the right hanger spacing for Calgary’s snow and ice loads, and proper flashing integration with your roofline. Improperly installed gutters that pitch the wrong direction or pull away from the fascia cause more damage than no gutters at all. Professional installation is generally worth the investment.
Yes, always. We inspect your fascia before mounting any new eavestrough system. If the fascia is rotted, soft, or structurally compromised, we replace it first. Installing new gutters on bad fascia means the system will fail prematurely and your new gutters will pull away from the house.
