Eavestrough Repair, Replacement & Installation in Calgary
Continuous seamless 5" and 6" aluminum eavestroughs in 30+ colours. Leaf guards, oversized downspouts, soffit and fascia replacement.
Professional Eavestroughs, Gutters & Downspouts You Can Trust
Calgary's snowmelt and summer thunderstorms make eavestrough sizing and condition critical — undersized or damaged eavestroughs flood foundations, ice up dramatically in winter, and contribute to ice dam formation. We install continuous seamless 5" and 6" aluminum eavestroughs in 30+ colours to match any Calgary home, plus leaf guard systems, oversized downspouts engineered for Calgary snowmelt volume, and complete soffit and fascia replacement when hail or rot has done its damage. Most hail insurance claims include eavestrough damage that adjusters miss in the initial walkthrough — we catch it during the roof inspection and add it to your claim file.
Common Causes in Calgary Homes
We see these patterns repeatedly across Calgary and area. Knowing the cause helps us respond faster and recommend the right solution.
Hail Damage Dents
Hail dents soft aluminum eavestroughs in any storm. Adjusters often miss this damage in initial walk-throughs — we catch it and add it to your insurance claim file (typically $1,500-$4,000 of additional covered work).
Sagging or Detaching Sections
Calgary's winter ice loading pulls eavestroughs away from fascia. Most sagging is repairable with new hangers — but if the fascia is rotted underneath, the whole section needs replacement.
Undersized Original Sizing
Many older Calgary homes have 4" or small 5" eavestroughs that can't handle modern snowmelt and rain volumes. Upgrading to 6" with oversized downspouts solves chronic overflow problems.
Ice Dam Damage
Severe ice dams can crush eavestrough sections in extreme winters. Replacement combined with heat trace cable prevents recurrence.

Eavestroughs FAQs
Common questions about eavestroughs, gutters & downspouts in Calgary, AB.
5-inch or 6-inch eavestroughs in Calgary?
For most single-family Calgary homes: 5" is sufficient. For larger 2-storey homes, complex roof shapes, or chronic-overflow situations: 6" with 3x4 downspouts. The price difference is small and the upgrade pays back in fewer ice dam and foundation issues.
Are leaf guards worth it in Calgary?
Yes for homes with mature trees nearby (poplars, willows, mountain ash). The Calgary fall leaf load combined with snowmelt creates near-total blockages without guards. LeafFilter and GutterShutter both perform well in Alberta's freeze-thaw conditions — Mesh-only screen products tend to fail under our snow load.
Will my hail insurance claim include eavestroughs?
It should — but most homeowners' initial claim only covers the shingles because adjusters often miss the eavestrough damage. We document eavestrough hail dents during our inspection and submit them as part of the supplemental claim. Typically adds $1,500-$4,000 to the approved scope.
