Gutter guards & eavestrough covers in Scarborough

Scarborough's windy-week fills are exactly what guards are for. When the silver maples of Wexford and Agincourt can load a trough in days, a guard that keeps the bulk out changes the maintenance math completely — and on the Bluffs, where wind delivers debris in bursts, the same wind will find any panel that is not fastened properly. Sloppy guard installs fail here faster than anywhere else in the east end; a lifted corner in a Birch Cliff gust becomes a funnel, not a filter.

So the Scarborough install is mostly about fastening. We assess the roof and gutter profile, clean and flush the run, then cut panels to sit flush and secure them to hold through lake wind and ice. Ravine streets in Guildwood and West Hill lean toward fine mesh for the Rouge Valley's mixed oak and ash; the post-war maple streets do fine with perforated aluminum. Side-split rooflines get the guard on both levels, not just the easy one. Installs are quoted on site after assessment. For 2026: if guards are already on your house and need to come off for a cleaning, that adds $40.
