Why Proper Eavestroughs Installation Matters in Edmonton’s Climate
Edmonton sees big temperature swings, snow loads, and rapid melts. Without correctly sized and sloped gutters, meltwater overflows, seeps behind fascia, and pools at the foundation. The three biggest difference-makers are:
- Correct slope toward outlets
- Enough downspouts (and the right size)
- Extensions that discharge 6–10 ft away from the house

Types of Eavestroughs (5″ K-Style, Aluminum, Seamless)
Seamless aluminum (5″ K-style) is the local standard for most homes:
- Cut on-site for perfect runs (fewer joints = fewer leaks)
- Hidden hangers every ~16–24″
- Color-matched to fascia/soffit
- Durable finish that resists rust
Downspouts: 2×3″ works for many homes; 3×4″ is better for larger roof areas or places with heavy spruce/poplar debris.
Gutter guards: Aluminum guards help keep needles/leaves out, reduce cleanings, and limit ice-over caused by clogs. If you’re weighing options, see LeafFilter vs. standard gutter guards in Edmonton. If you’d like to know more about LeafFilter, here is their pricing section.
Costs in Edmonton (Per-Foot Pricing & What Affects It)
Actual pricing depends on roofline complexity, number of corners/outlets, and downspout routing. Typical local ranges:
| Size / Material | Typical Price (per ft) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5″ K-style aluminum (seamless) | $10–$16/ft | Color-matched; hidden hangers |
| Downspouts (2×3″) | $12–$18/ft | Includes elbows & outlets |
| Removal & disposal (old gutters) | $2–$4/ft | Tear-down and haul-away |
| Gutter guards (aluminum) | $8–$14/ft | Cuts cleanings; great near trees |
| Corner sealing / end caps | $60–$120 each | Premium sealant & fasteners |
Typical totals:
- 140–180 ft bungalow: ~$1,400–$2,900 before guards
- 180–240 ft two-story: ~$1,800–$3,800 (site-specific)

Signs You Need Replacement vs. Repair
Choose replacement when you have:
- Multiple leaks at seams/corners
- Long sagging runs or poor slope
- Rusted/warped sections or frequent overflow in light rain
Choose a targeted repair when you have:
- A single leaking corner or end cap
- One short sagging section
- One damaged/down-sized downspout
If a simple fix is enough, our repair and sealing service can handle individual corners, short runs, and downspouts.

Warranties, Maintenance & Lifespan
- Workmanship warranty: typically 5 years
- Material finish: manufacturer coverage on aluminum coating
- Maintenance: clean spring/fall unless guards are installed; confirm extensions stay attached and graded away from the home
Winter Readiness: Ice, Heat, and Drainage Tips
- Keep extensions attached before first freeze
- Confirm positive slope so meltwater moves to outlets
- Don’t redirect downspouts onto walkways/driveways
- Consider guards in heavy-debris zones to reduce ice from clogs
- In heavy ice-dam areas, talk to your roofer about attic ventilation/insulation
