Gutters sized for how water actually moves off a GTA roof, not a generic five-inch default
Undersized gutters are one of the most common issues we see on inspections across the region. We size systems to your roof's actual runoff, not a one-size answer.

Why gutter sizing matters more here than people think
A lot of GTA homes have gutters that were sized for the house next door, not for their own roof pitch and square footage. Combine that with our spring snowmelt volume and summer downpours, and undersized gutters overflow right at the foundation, which is exactly where you don't want water pooling.
Snowmelt volume gets overlooked
Spring thaw in the GTA can move a surprising amount of water off a roof in a short window. Gutters sized only for rainfall often can't keep up.
Fascia condition determines whether new gutters will actually hold
New gutters hung on soft or rotted fascia board will sag within a season or two. We check fascia before quoting installation, not after.
Downspout placement affects your foundation, not just your gutters
Poorly placed downspouts dump water right against the foundation, which is a common contributor to basement moisture issues in older GTA homes.
Leaf and debris load varies block by block
Mature tree cover in older neighbourhoods means more debris and more frequent clogging risk than newer subdivisions with young trees.
The 'gutters look fine' inspection that misses the real issue
Plenty of gutter quotes are based on a look from the ground: no visible sagging, so it's called fine. That misses hairline separation at seams, undersized downspouts, and fascia that's starting to soften underneath the gutter line. None of that shows up until the next heavy rain sends water down your siding instead of through the downspout.
A scope that checks fascia, sizing, and downspout count together
We look at gutter sizing against your actual roof area, check fascia board condition at the hanger points, and count downspouts against runoff volume. If your existing system is undersized, we say so and explain what upsizing would cost versus what a repair-only approach would cost.

Gutter installation & repair FAQs
Do you service gutters across the whole GTA?
Yes, we install and repair gutters throughout Toronto and the surrounding regions.
How do I know if I need repair or full replacement?
We inspect seams, fascia, and slope before recommending either. Often a repair addresses the issue without full replacement.
Do you install gutter guards?
Yes, when they make sense for the property's tree cover and debris load. We won't recommend them if they're not needed.
Can gutter work be scheduled alongside roof repair?
Yes, we frequently scope both together since fascia condition affects both systems.
