Eavestrough Repair & Installation in Scarborough

Eavestroughs and gutters are the same thing — the terms are used interchangeably in Canada. Eavestrough is the more common term in the Scarborough, while gutter is widely used across North America. RenoHouse installs and repairs both seamless and sectional systems.

Signs that eavestroughs need replacement include visible rust or corrosion, multiple leaking joints, sagging sections that pull away from the fascia, peeling paint on the fascia board, and water pooling near your foundation. If repairs are needed in many areas, full replacement with seamless eavestroughs is often more cost-effective.

We recommend cleaning eavestroughs at least twice a year — in late spring and late fall. Homes surrounded by trees may need more frequent cleaning. RenoHouse also installs gutter guards to significantly reduce eavestrough maintenance.

Most eavestrough installations are completed in a single day. A typical Scarborough home takes four to eight hours including measurement, on-site fabrication, installation, and downspout routing. RenoHouse works efficiently to complete your project quickly.

Aluminum is the most popular and cost-effective eavestrough material for Scarborough homes. It resists rust, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and comes in many colours. Copper eavestroughs offer a premium look but at a significantly higher cost. RenoHouse recommends the best option for your budget.

Yes, RenoHouse provides a workmanship warranty on all eavestrough installations and repairs covering secure mounting, proper slope for drainage, and leak-free joints. Quality aluminum eavestroughs typically last twenty to thirty years.

Brick mortar on homes built before 1920 typically needs repointing every 50–75 years, while newer mortar may last 25–50 years. Signs include crumbling, cracked, or recessed mortar joints. Professional tuckpointing prevents water infiltration that can cause serious structural damage through freeze-thaw cycles.

Yes — we design and build decks optimized for compact urban lots. Multi-level designs, built-in seating, and privacy screens maximize usable space. We ensure proper permits are obtained and the structure meets current Ontario Building Code requirements.

Older homes often have undersized or deteriorated eavestroughs that can't handle heavy rainfall. We replace aging gutters with properly sized 5" or 6" aluminum systems, ensure correct slope for drainage, and install gutter guards where appropriate to reduce maintenance.
