We recommend having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year: once in late spring (to clear out seed pods and dirt) and once in late autumn (after all leaves have fallen and before the winter freeze).

Clogged gutters lead to water overflowing down your home's exterior, which can cause severe foundation cracking, basement flooding, roof leaks, soil erosion, and rotted soffit or fascia boards.

Our minimum service pricing starts at $139. The total cost depends on your home’s square footage, height (1-story vs. 2-story or 3-story), and overall accessibility. We provide free, upfront quotes before starting any job.

Yes! A thorough gutter cleaning from Gutter Doctor includes flushing and clearing all downspouts to ensure water drains freely away from your foundation.

Absoutely. Trapped water in clogged gutters freezes during winter freeze-thaw cycles, creating ice dams that block proper drainage and push meltwater under your roof shingles.

Signs your system needs attention include water pulling or sagging away from the roofline, visible rust, leaking seams, peeling paint on your fascia, or water pooling around your foundation during rainstorms.

We use premium NPC Gutter Seal, a commercial-grade sealant specifically engineered to handle Calgary's extreme temperature swings, UV exposure, and continuous water flow.

Unlike standard installations that rely on fragile staples or light screws, we use locking nuts and bolts on fold-up downspout extensions to guarantee maximum strength against wind, heavy snow, and daily wear.

Seamless eavestroughs are custom-fabricated on-site from a single continuous piece of metal. Because they lack mid-section joints, they drastically reduce the chance of leaks compared to traditional sectional gutters.

Gutter guards are a great investment if your home is surrounded by mature trees. They keep leaves, pine needles, and debris out of your system while letting rainwater flow through, significantly reducing the required frequency of cleanings.

• Fascia: The flat horizontal board mounted where your roof meets the outer walls, which supports your gutters.

• Soffit: The exposed undersurface beneath your roof line overhang that vents air into your attic.
  Both protect your home's framing and attic space from moisture damage, pest entry, and mold growth.

Yes! We repair and replace wood, aluminum, and vinyl soffit and fascia. We ensure all replacements match your existing home aesthetics and maintain proper attic ventilation.

Yes! We source materials from major Canadian manufacturers, offering a wide selection of colors and profiles to seamlessly integrate with your existing exterior.

To ensure your exterior can withstand harsh Alberta winds, we use screws with color-matched heads rather than staples, guaranteeing long-lasting stability and a clean, polished look.

Beyond eavestroughs, Gutter Doctor provides repairs for roofing, siding, custom cladding, flashings, drip edges, and exterior power washing.

Yes. Roof leaks often start where upper-level downspouts empty onto lower roof sections. We properly route downspouts directly into lower eavestroughs to protect your shingles from premature wear and leaks.

Yes. Calgary's chinook winds frequently blow off or loose siding panels. We source replacement panels and securely re-anchor them to restore your home's weather protection.

Cladding involves custom-bending aluminum sheets over exposed exterior wood frames (like door jams or window trims) to protect them from weather rot, eliminating the need for repainting.
