Calgary's eavestrough & gutter specialists
Your eavestrough is the least glamorous part of the house and one of the most important. Since 2014, Peakline Roofing & Exteriors has installed, repaired, and replaced eavestrough and gutters on homes right across Calgary — seamless aluminum, properly sized, and pitched to actually move water. Done right, you never think about it. Left too long or sized wrong, water finds the one place you don't want it: your foundation.
Calgary throws a lot at a gutter. A fast spring melt, summer storms that drop 30–60mm of rain in under an hour, and the −30 to +15 swings that build ice dams along the eaves. That's why we size most homes at 5" or 6" instead of the undersized 4" that overflows the moment the weather turns, and why we recommend seamless over sectional — no joints, no leaks, far less upkeep. Every install is pitched, sealed, and backed by a written warranty, because the whole job comes down to keeping water away from the house.
Our eavestrough services
Installation
Seamless aluminum eavestrough, custom-formed on site and sized 5" or 6" for Calgary's rain and snow loads. Pitched, sealed, and tied into downspouts that carry water well clear of the foundation.
Repair
Leaking joints, sagging runs, detached or overflowing downspouts, storm and hail damage. Most repairs are same-day, starting around $150 — a fraction of what water damage costs.
Cleaning & guards
Seasonal cleaning, plus micro-mesh, reverse-curve, and heated guards that keep leaves and ice out so the system still flows when the weather turns.

Seamless vs. sectional
For Calgary weather, this is the decision that matters most. Here's the honest comparison.
Seamless
What we recommend- No joints except the corners — nothing to leak
- Stronger under Calgary snow and ice loads
- 25–30 year lifespan with little maintenance
- Custom-formed on site for a clean, finished look
$10–15 / linear ft installed
Sectional
- Joints every 10 ft that eventually leak
- Weaker — joints fail under snow weight
- 10–15 years, with constant small repairs
- Seams trap debris and cause clogs
$8–12 / linear ft installed
Why it matters in Calgary
Eavestrough is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy against the most expensive repair a home can face. Move the water and the foundation stays dry; miss it, and the damage compounds fast and quietly.
Repair or replace?
Repair usually makes sense when
- System is under 15 years old
- Damage is isolated to a section or two
- Gutters are already sized right (5" or 6")
- The main issue is clogs or a minor leak
Typical cost: $150–800
Replacement is the smarter call when
- System is 20+ years old
- Multiple sections are failing
- Upgrading from undersized 4" gutters
- Foundation is already showing water damage
- Switching from sectional to seamless
Typical cost: $1,500–3,500

Frequently asked questions
Water pooling within a few feet of the foundation, a musty basement, gutters overflowing in rain, ice dams in winter, sections sagging or pulling away, visible cracks or rust, and water stains on the siding. Any one of these can lead to expensive foundation damage, so it is worth a look sooner than later.
Calgary storms can drop 30–60mm of rain in a couple of hours, and spring melt comes fast, so 5" is the minimum and 6" is what we recommend for most homes. Larger or steeper roofs really need 6". Undersized 4" gutters overflow the moment the weather turns and send water straight to the foundation.
Seamless, for Calgary. With no joints except the corners there is nothing to leak, it handles heavy snow better, and it lasts roughly twice as long. Sectional gutters have a joint every 10 feet that will eventually leak. Seamless costs about 15–20% more up front and saves far more than that over its life.
A typical Calgary home (150–200 linear feet) runs about $1,500–$3,500 for seamless aluminum, at roughly $8–15 per foot installed. Leaf guards add $5–8 per foot and downspout extensions are $75–150 each. Most installs finish in one to two days — set against $15,000+ for foundation repairs, it is cheap insurance.
For Calgary we install micro-mesh (best for pine needles and fine debris), reverse-curve (handles heavy rain), and heated guards (to prevent ice dams). They run $5–15 per foot and save hours of cleaning while preventing the clogs that cause overflow and foundation damage.
Spring: clear winter debris and check for ice damage before the melt. Summer: inspect after big storms. Fall: clear all leaves before the freeze. Winter: watch for ice dams and make sure any heat cables are working. We offer maintenance packages if you would rather not think about it.
