Seamless aluminum gutter installation, repair, and maintenance for residential properties across Greater Montreal. Protect your foundation and landscaping from water damage.
Gutters serve a straightforward but essential purpose: they collect rainwater and snowmelt from the roof and direct it away from the building foundation through downspouts. Without functional gutters, water cascades off the roof edge and saturates the soil directly around the foundation, which can lead to basement water infiltration, foundation erosion, and landscape damage. In Montreal, where spring melt and heavy summer storms deliver large volumes of water in short periods, a properly sized and maintained gutter system is critical.
Seamless aluminum gutters are the standard for residential installations because they eliminate the joints that are the primary failure point in sectional gutter systems. Our seamless gutters are formed on-site from continuous coils of aluminum using a portable roll-forming machine. The result is a single, unbroken gutter run for each section of roof edge, with joints only at corners and where downspouts connect. This approach dramatically reduces the potential for leaks and gives the installation a clean, finished appearance.
We install gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch profiles, with 6-inch being our recommendation for most Montreal homes due to the volume of water that heavy rain and rapid snowmelt can produce. Gutter size is matched to the roof area draining to each section, and downspout size and spacing are calculated to handle peak flow without overflowing. We position downspouts to discharge water away from the foundation, using extensions or underground drainage connections where needed to move water at least four feet from the building.
Gutter maintenance is just as important as proper installation. Leaves, granules from shingles, and debris accumulate in gutters and can block flow, causing overflow that defeats the purpose of the system. We offer gutter cleaning services and install gutter guards that reduce debris accumulation while allowing water to enter freely. For existing gutter systems that are leaking, sagging, or improperly pitched, we perform repairs including seam sealing, hanger replacement, and pitch correction to restore proper function.

FAQ for this service
Seamless gutters have no joints along their runs, which eliminates the most common source of gutter leaks. Sectional gutters are joined every 10 feet and those joints eventually loosen, separate, or develop leaks. Seamless gutters also look cleaner and require less maintenance.
For most Montreal homes, we recommend 6-inch gutters with 3-inch by 4-inch downspouts. This sizing handles the heavy water volumes produced by spring snowmelt and summer storms. Smaller 5-inch gutters may be adequate for smaller roof areas, and we calculate the proper size based on your roof dimensions.
We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year: once in late spring after seeds and pollen season, and once in late fall after leaves have dropped. Homes surrounded by trees may need more frequent cleaning. Gutter guards reduce but do not eliminate the need for periodic maintenance.
Quality gutter guards significantly reduce debris accumulation in gutters. They do not eliminate all maintenance, as small debris and granules from shingles can still build up over time. However, they extend the interval between cleanings and prevent the kind of heavy blockage that causes overflow and ice buildup.
Yes. Sagging gutters are typically caused by failed hangers or inadequate hanger spacing. We replace hangers and add additional support points as needed. Leaking joints in sectional gutters can be resealed. If the gutter material itself is corroded or damaged, replacement of the affected section is more effective than patching.
