Gutter systems sized to your roof's drainage load, not a generic spec
Undersized gutters and poorly pitched runs are behind most of the fascia and foundation problems we get called out to fix. We size and pitch every system to the roof it's actually attached to.

Why gutters fail in this climate specifically
Gutters in the GTA carry a heavier load than in milder climates: spring melt, summer downpours, and fall leaf debris all pass through the same system, and winter adds the weight of ice. A gutter sized only for average rainfall, or hung with insufficient pitch, backs up long before it's structurally overwhelmed, sending water behind fascia boards and toward the foundation.
Capacity matched to roof area
We calculate gutter and downspout sizing from actual roof square footage and regional rainfall intensity, not a standard 5-inch default.
Pitch and hanger spacing
Correct pitch prevents standing water in the trough; hanger spacing is set to carry the added weight of ice without sagging.
Downspout placement
Downspouts are positioned to direct water away from the foundation, accounting for grading and existing drainage paths.
Ice loading at the eave
Where ice damming is already a factor, we coordinate gutter work with eave protection membrane so the two systems work together rather than against each other.
Overflowing gutters are a symptom, not the problem
A gutter that overflows during a heavy rain is often blamed on debris, but debris is frequently a secondary factor. The underlying issue is usually a system undersized for the roof's drainage area, or a pitch that was never correctly set at installation, meaning water can't reach the downspout fast enough even when the trough is clear.
We size and pitch before we install
Before recommending gutter work, we measure the roof's drainage area and check existing pitch and hanger condition. Where undersizing or poor pitch is the cause, we correct it as part of the installation rather than replacing like-for-like and expecting a different result.
How we approach a gutter project
Gutter work is often treated as an afterthought to roofing — we scope it with the same rigor.
- 1
Drainage assessment
We measure roof area and check existing gutter condition, pitch, and downspout placement.
- 2
Sizing and material selection
Gutter profile, downspout count, and material are specified based on the drainage load calculated.
- 3
Fascia and hanger check
We inspect fascia boards for rot before hanging new gutters, since a sound gutter on a failing fascia won't hold.
- 4
Installation
Gutters are hung to correct pitch with hanger spacing set for regional ice and debris load.
Why homeowners trust us with gutter work
Gutters are easy to underspecify and hard to notice until they fail — we treat them as part of the roof system.
Drainage-load sizing
Every system is sized to the specific roof's drainage area, not a generic profile.
Licensed & insured
Installation work is carried out under active liability coverage.
Fascia condition checked first
We inspect the fascia board before hanging new gutters rather than assuming it's sound.
Ice-loading aware
Hanger spacing and pitch account for the added weight of winter ice.
Coordinated with roof work
Gutter and eave protection are planned together when both are part of the scope.

Gutter installation & repair questions
How do I know if my gutters are undersized?
Signs include water overflowing the trough during moderate rain, staining on fascia boards, or water pooling near the foundation. We measure roof area against gutter capacity to confirm.
Can you repair a section of gutter instead of replacing the whole run?
Yes, where the fascia and remaining gutter are in good condition, we can repair or replace individual sections.
Do you install gutter guards?
Yes, we can add debris protection as part of a new installation or retrofit to an existing system where it makes sense for the roof's surroundings.
Why do my gutters sag in winter?
Sagging is usually caused by hanger spacing that wasn't set to carry the added weight of ice, or fasteners installed into deteriorating fascia.
Do you serve areas outside Milton?
Yes, we install and repair gutters across the Greater Toronto Area.
