I need to get ome work done on my eavestroughs, namely that I want to upgrade to wider troughs and add some badly needed downspouts, but I don't know much about the business. I've had some quotes come in and they seem really high.
How much per linear foot should I be looking at? What other factors are there in the estimation of cost? How does that machine that makes it the one piece actually work? How is it bent?
I had never put my mind to it until late winter and early spring and eavestroughs have me gown for a loop.

If you have many trees in your yard I would recommend a gutter screen. Easy to clean the #### off of, and easy to pop out for the #### that makes it's way in.

Weird. I just went to home depot here and they said they don't offer it up here apparently.
Maybe I should check a different store.

Anyone know what's going on with these guys? They are not returning calls and occasionally their voicemail box is full....
Maybe they are swamped by the hail storms.
With the weather Calgary has had this summer I would ensure you pick a contractor with a history, ie: a referall such as Titan (not familiar with them). The large volume of work that the summer storms have delivered to Calgary means that some companies might be fly by night.

It has taken us two summer of calling eaves companies to get back to us. Finally got a quote yesterday.
Eavestroughs: know anything about the business?
Who made you a mod? Nobody, so shut your hole!
