Gutter guards & eavestrough covers in Markham

Guards in Markham are two different conversations. On the heritage homes of Old Markham Village and Unionville, the gutter profiles are older and sometimes out of square, so guards have to be measured and cut to the run — a big-box panel bridges gaps that seeds and grit pour straight through, and heritage fascia deserves better than self-tappers driven anywhere. In Cornell and Wismer the case is practical: tight side yards and laneway lots make every ladder trip more of a production, so cutting the cleaning frequency has real value, and the rear runs facing the Rouge woodlots are where an unguarded trough fills first.

The process is the same everywhere we install: assess the roof pitch, gutter width and the actual trees over the run, clean and flush first — guards over debris just seal the clog in — then cut and fasten so the panel stays put through wind and ice. Every install is quoted on site after that assessment. For 2026 budgeting: guards reduce cleaning, they do not end it, and if guards are already on your house and need to come off for a cleaning, that adds $40.
