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. Hail dents eavestroughs in every storm — we document the damage during the roof inspection so you have a complete picture of everything that was affected.
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. This damage is often missed in basic ground-level checks — we document it during the on-roof inspection and include it in the written damage report (typically $1,500-$4,000 of damage homeowners weren't aware of).
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.
Were my eavestroughs damaged in the same hail event as my roof?
Almost certainly. Hail dents soft aluminum in every significant storm. We document eavestrough damage during the roof inspection so you have a complete picture. This damage is often $1,500-$4,000 that homeowners didn't know they had until we pointed it out.
