Common questions
What warranty do you offer on gutter install in St. Catharines?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.

Late September through mid-November with St. Catharines averaging 133cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you offer same-day gutter install in St. Catharines?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside St. Catharines for most standard scopes.
How long does gutter install take in St. Catharines?
1 day is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is gutter install covered by home insurance in St. Catharines?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
How much does gutter install cost in St. Catharines?
Most St. Catharines jobs land between $8 and $13. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $21. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in St. Catharines?
Yes. Condo boards in St. Catharines typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
