Question 1

How long does eavestrough installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential jobs take one day or less — though larger homes or fascia repairs can extend the timeline. Seamless aluminum systems are often cut and installed the same day using mobile fabrication machines right on-site.

Question 2

When should you replace eavestroughs instead of repairing them?

Accepted Answer

If your gutters are over 20 years old, constantly leaking, sagging, or rusting — replacement is usually the smarter investment. Repeated patch jobs add up, and new seamless aluminum systems offer far better durability and drainage. Bonus: modern designs are available in dozens of colours to match your siding.

Question 3

Are eavestrough and gutter repairs covered by home insurance?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. If the damage was caused by a sudden event (like a storm, fallen branch, or ice dam), it might be covered. But wear and tear or neglect usually aren’t. It’s always best to check your policy and keep receipts for any maintenance or professional cleanings.

Question 4

What’s the best time of year to install or replace eavestroughs?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners book installations in late spring through early fall when temperatures are stable and there’s minimal ice risk. However, many gutter companies work year-round, as long as conditions are safe and materials can properly seal. Fall replacements are popular if your gutters were damaged by summer storms or heavy leaves.
