SEAMLESS GUTTERS – WHY THEY'RE BETTER

Traditional gutters have seams every 10–20 feet. Seams leak, collect debris, and fail over time.

Our seamless gutters:

  • Custom-cut on-site to your exact roofline
  • No seams = no leaks
  • Smooth interior = fewer clogs
  • Clean, continuous look

We bring the gutter machine to your home – every system is custom, not off-the-shelf.

How We Bring Your Project to Life

CALGARY-SPECIFIC CHALLENGES

Chinooks

Chinooks
Rapid temperature swings melt snow fast. Gutters must handle sudden heavy flow. Our 6" seamless systems are properly pitched to drain instantly.
ice dam
Ice Dams
Ice Dams
Heat escaping from your roof melts snow, which refreezes at the edge. We offer heat cable installation and ensure gutters are pitched correctly.

Standard aluminum dents. We offer heavy-gauge aluminum or steel for hail-prone neighborhoods.
Snow Load

Calgary averages 128" of snow annually. Our hangers are spaced 24" apart (not 36") to handle the weight.

REPAIR VS. REPLACEMENT

No. When to Repair ($$) When to Replace ($$$)
1 Small leaks or cracks (sealable) Gutters over 20 years old
2 1–2 sagging sections (add hangers) Multiple rust spots or corrosion
3 Minor joint or seam issues Seams failing across the entire system
4 Localized hail dents or minor damage Improper slope requiring full re-hanging
5 Sections still structurally sound Replacing roof or siding at the same time
 

SIZING: 5" vs 6" EAVESTROUGHS

Size Best For Water Capacity Cost
5″ Standard homes, light rain Good $$
6″ Large roofs, heavy snowmelt, Calgary weather 2x more $$$

Our recommendation: Most Calgary homes should get 6″ eavestroughs – our spring melt and hailstorms overwhelm 5″ systems.

FAQs

Sagging, pooling water, leaks, rust spots, or gutters pulling away from the house. In Calgary, improper pitch causes standing water that freezes in winter – leading to ice dams and detached gutters.
Not recommended – most DIY attempts lead to costly repairs later. Proper slope (pitch) is critical but difficult to get right on a ladder. One miscalculation causes pooling, ice damage, and water infiltration. Professionals use seamless systems and proper hanger spacing.
Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site from a single aluminium coil – no mid-run joints. Fewer seams mean fewer leaks. Most Calgary pros bring a portable machine to your home and create exact lengths for each roof run.
20–30 years for aluminium when properly installed. But Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles and hailstorms can shorten that. Steel and copper last longer but cost more. Poor installation can cut lifespan in half.
Improper pitch – water doesn't drain fully. Standing water freezes, expands, and pulls gutters away from the fascia. This is almost always an installation issue, not a material defect.
Varies by home size, material, and downspout count. Basic aluminum systems are most affordable. We provide a free on-site inspection and detailed quote – never a price over the phone without measurements.
