Eavestrough Installation in Saskatoon
Seamless eavestrough formed on-site to your roofline, hung on hidden hangers, and pitched so water leaves the house instead of finding it.
Every spring in this city, meltwater tells the truth about eavestrough. Saskatoon Siding Co installs seamless eavestrough that keeps that verdict boring: water off the roof, along the trough, down the spout, and away from the house, with nothing dripping behind, pooling under, or icing over the front step.
Formed On-Site, Hung to Last
Seamless trough starts as a coil of aluminum in the truck and comes off the machine as one continuous run cut to your roofline. Corners are the only joints, and they get sealed and screwed rather than left to a bead of caulk and hope. We hang runs on hidden hangers screwed through the trough into the fascia, spaced tight enough to carry a load of wet snow, because prairie eavestrough spends five months of the year holding more than rain.
Behind the trough, gutter apron flashing bridges the gap between roof deck and trough back so runoff cannot wick behind the system and rot the fascia from the inside. Pitch is set at the traditional quarter inch per ten feet toward the downspouts, checked with a level rather than eyeballed off a fascia line that may not be level itself.
Sized to the Roof, Not to Habit
Most installers put five inch trough on everything because that is what is on the truck. We size to the roof: large or steep roof planes, long valleys, and two-storey drops get six inch trough and oversized downspouts, because capacity is what stands between a summer thunderstorm and a waterfall over your walkway. The written quote maps every run, its size, and where each downspout lands.
Downspout placement earns its own thought on this soil. Clay swells when it drinks, and the cheapest foundation protection any Saskatoon homeowner can buy is a downspout extension that puts roof water well away from the basement wall. We place them so the water goes where the yard can take it.
Part of the Wall System
Eavestrough is the water-management half of an exterior, which is why it belongs in the same plan as the wall itself. Homes getting new vinyl or Hardie board siding get trough and soffit and fascia coordinated in the same scope, so trim lines match and nothing gets ladder-dented twice. Fast-growing areas like Warman and Martensville, where builder-grade trough is aging out one subdivision at a time, make up a steady share of this work.
If your existing system just needs attention rather than replacement, see eavestrough repair and eavestrough cleaning. Either way, the quote is free, written, and specific.

Eavestrough Installation Questions
What does "seamless" mean in practice?
The trough is roll-formed from coil right at your house, so each run is one continuous piece with joints only at the corners. Fewer joints means fewer places to drip, and on the prairies every joint gets exercised by freeze-thaw all winter long. Seamless eavestrough is the industry's standard answer to that, and it is what we install.
Five inch or six inch?
It depends on the roof above it. A tall two-storey with long valleys sheds far more water per minute of storm than a low bungalow, and an undersized trough simply overflows at the spot the roof concentrates flow. We measure the roof area feeding each run and size the trough and downspouts to it, and the quote says which size goes where.
Where should downspouts discharge?
Away from the house, always, and farther than the little splash pad most homes rely on. Saskatoon sits on clay-heavy soil that swells when soaked, so water parked beside a basement wall becomes a structural problem over the years. Extensions that carry discharge well clear of the wall are cheap insurance, and we include placement in the plan.
Do you replace fascia at the same time?
When it needs it, yes, and it is the right order of operations. Eavestrough hangs off the fascia board, so screwing a new trough to punky wood buys you a sagging system in a few winters. If we find soft fascia during the walk-around, it goes in the written scope with the fix priced, and you decide with the facts in front of you.
