Commonly asked Questions
What's Better, Aluminum or Steel Gutters?
We strongly believe aluminum gutters are the best way to go. they last on average 10 years longer than steel as they are rust-resistant and are less prone to leaks. In fact, we only install steel products if we are doing Lindab Half-Round European Gutters or Customer Faux Copper Gutters.
How do I Know What Size of Eavestroughs I Need?
The vast majority of residential homes only need 5″ eavestroughing. Unless you have a steep pitch (9/12 or higher), a metal roof, or an exceptionably large roof then 6″ is recommended.
Does Leaf Guard Really Work?
Yes, leaf guard does work as long as you choose the right product. That is why we use Alu-Rex for all of our leaf guard installations. Their products are tested, offer a great warranty, and are Canadian made.
Is Drip Edge Really That Important?
Yes, drip edge is important. It helps direct the water coming off of your shingles into the gutter, preventing it from getting behind and possibly rotting your fascia board. We recommend having it installed whenever your shingles are less then an 1″ past your fascia board, or if they are curling.
What is the Cheapest Siding Option
Vinyl Lap siding is the cheapest siding option available. Then followed by James Hardie, Can-Excel, and metal siding options.
Where do you Service?
We service all of Parkland County including Spruce Grove and Stony Plain. All of Lac Ste Anne County including Alberta Beach. We also service all of St. Albert, and all of Edmonton (although we typically stick to the west side).
What is the Best Leaf Guard for my House?
We only recommend using Alu-Rex leaf guard products. Which of their products is best for your property depends on numerous factors such as budget and the types of trees surrounding your building. During all quotes one of our talented salespeople will explain the best product for your circumstance.
How Long Will you be at my Property?
The depends on the service being provided and the complexity of the project. For most gutter installs it’ll be a day, for siding projects it’s usually around anywhere from one to three weeks, and for soffit & fascia replacement its usually two to three days.
What is the Best Color for my Gutters?
Really, this depends on your house and your personal preference. Typically we recommend matching the color of your fascia board, or if you want a contrast doing something like black gutters on white fascia. During our quoting process we will discuss color options with you and give our professional opinion on what we think will look best.
