Eavestrough Installation & Repair in Guelph
Seamless aluminum eavestroughs formed on site for your Guelph roofline, and repairs for corner leaks, runs that have started to sag and downspouts that dump water by the walls.
Fix it or replace it: eavestroughs in Guelph
D&D Home Services handles eavestrough repair and gutter installation in Guelph, including Downtown Guelph, Old University, Exhibition Park, Kortright Hills and The Ward. A leaking corner can be resealed, a sagging run re-hung, and a worn-out sectional system replaced with seamless aluminum formed on site. Your free written quote lists every run, size and part, and the price is confirmed before any work starts.
Guelph has built in stone since the 1800s. Its Old City Hall, built in 1856 of Guelph stone, and the limestone Goldie Mill ruin on the Speed River both show it. Stone and brick soak up water, so on an older house a leaking eavestrough is more than a nuisance. For other work, see home services in Guelph, gutter cleaning in Guelph or gutter guards in Guelph.
Repairs that fix the cause
Gutter repair is often smaller than it looks. A drip at a corner, end cap or outlet usually just needs resealing. A single sagging run can be re-hung on new hangers and re-pitched, as long as the trough and the fascia are sound. Bent sections, elbows and downspouts can be swapped out one at a time.
New seamless runs, formed on site
For eavestrough installation, each run is formed on site to the exact length of your roofline, so the only joints sit at corners and end caps. Aluminum moves with the seasons: across a 40-degree temperature swing, a 10-metre run changes length by close to a centimetre, so hangers and expansion allowance matter. When you replace an old system, we take it down first.
Water kept off stone and brick
Water that spills over the front of a trough runs down the wall. Stone and brick take it in, and freeze-thaw cycles from November to April do the rest. We stop leaks at the joints, find out why a run overflows, and move or extend any downspout that empties beside the foundation, so water lands well away from the walls.
Sized for the roof you have
A 5-inch K-style trough fits many houses. A big or steep roof, an unusually long run, or a valley that pours water into one spot may need 6-inch troughs and 3x4-inch downspouts instead. Each run needs a gentle fall of about 2 mm per metre toward its outlet, and outlets go where no single downspout has to drain too much trough.
We do not publish a flat price for eavestrough work, because every roofline is different. Call (519) 501-5003, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, or send your address for a free written quote, confirmed before work starts.

Guelph notes
Eavestrough installation in Guelph: additions, valleys and joins
Guelph's Old City Hall was built in 1856 and altered in 1870, 1875 and 1961. Houses go through the same thing. A porch is enclosed, a dormer goes up, a garage is added, a kitchen bumps out at the back. Each change adds a roof edge, and every place two roofs meet adds a valley where water gathers. Those valleys are where an eavestrough system on an older house is really tested.
A plain rectangle has two long runs and a couple of downspouts. A house with additions can have several short runs, inside corners and a valley pouring into one spot. We walk the roofline with you and list every run before we quote. Each valley gets its own outlet or a deeper trough beneath it, and short runs get their own downspouts instead of a long detour.
Older roof edges hold other surprises. Rooflines on additions rarely line up with the original, so the eavestrough has to step or slope to follow them. We check the fall of each run so water moves toward its downspout, and we look at how new runs meet any old ones you keep. Your free written quote lists each run, corner and downspout, and we confirm it before work begins.
What we plan for in Guelph
- Roofline walk: we walk every roof edge with you, including porches, dormers, garages and rear additions, and list each run separately.
- Valleys: where two roofs meet we plan a downspout or a deeper trough beneath, since water arrives there in a rush.
- Slope check: we set a fall toward each downspout on every run, and check each addition's line against the main roof.
- Joins: we look at how new runs will meet any eavestrough you keep, so old and new pieces fit without gaps.
- Corner pieces: we list inside and outside corners in the quote, because corners are where leaks and mismatches start.
Questions from Guelph homeowners
We added a porch years ago and water pours off that corner in heavy rain. Is that an eavestrough problem?
Often yes. A valley where two roofs meet sends a large flow to one spot, and a standard trough can overflow there. A deeper trough, a larger outlet or an extra downspout usually fixes it. We look at how the roofs meet before we recommend one of those.
Does new eavestrough have to match the old run on the other side of the house?
It does not have to, but matching looks better. If you replace only part of the roofline, we compare profile, colour and size against what you keep, so old and new join without a visible step. If the old run is worn out, replacing the whole side is often tidier.

How it works
How a Guelph eavestrough job runs
1
Measure and quote
We measure every elevation, check the fascia, and list each run, size, outlet and corner in a written quote.
2
Repair or take down
Leaking joints are resealed and loose runs re-hung. If the old system is past saving, it comes down and the fascia behind it gets checked.
3
Form and hang new runs
New runs are formed on site from your measurements, then hung on closely spaced hangers with a gentle fall toward each outlet.
4
Outlets and downspouts
Outlets, elbows and downspouts go on, with extensions where roof water would otherwise land beside the walls.
It depends on the roofline. Total length, trough and downspout sizes, colour, corners and outlets all count, and so do removing the old system, any fascia work and guards. A repair is priced by what is wrong: resealing a corner is small, re-hanging a run takes longer. We measure first, then give you a free written quote that is confirmed before work starts.
A drip at a corner or outlet, or a single sagging run, is usually a repair. A system with many leaking seams, or with splits, holes or crushed sections, is a candidate for replacement, at least of those runs. If water pours over the front in normal rain, we look at why first: a blockage, a run with no fall to its outlet, or troughs too small for the roof.
Mostly it changes the priorities. Masonry takes in water, so the focus is on stopping leaks at joints and carrying water away from the walls with outlets and extensions. Hangers still need solid fascia wood to hold, so a soft or rotten board is noted in the quote before any trough goes up.
Yes. Guards can go on during the same visit, from $450, and they show up on your quote when you ask for them. They are aimed at homes that would otherwise need cleaning more than twice a year. A guard does not fix a leaking joint or a sagging run, so repairs come first.
We work across the city, from West Willow Woods, Westminster Woods and Pine Ridge to Clairfields, Grange Hill East and the South End. Send your address with your request and we will confirm the visit. The free written quote then lists exactly what is planned for your roofline.
