North Shore Eavestroughing

After doing some research online (including Homestars) we decided to ask North Shore Eavestroughing to quote on a job at our house. We have 4 trees on our property that in the spring gives the ‘gift’ of thousands of seed keys and in the fall a heavy ‘blessing’ of leaves. The eaves troughs are constantly in need of cleaning. In addition to that they were overflowing every time it rained and in some spots the downspouts were broken. We also had one downspout still sunk into the ground at the rear of the house. We felt there was increased risk of water damage to the basement because of the water overflow and saw evidence of this recently in the guise of wet carpeting near a wall in the basement.

North Shore (Darren) came by the house and I described the situation. We talked for a bit and he told me about what his company could do for me. We discussed leaf guard for the eaves troughs, placing seamless eaves troughs around the home and replacing the facia. After a subsequent discussion with my wife we decided to also replace the soffit (for aesthetic reasons). My eye caught something on North Shore’s website where they described LED pot lights made by a company called Delphi Tech. I asked him to provide a quote on this as well. After several rounds of quotes we ended up having leaf guard, soffit, facia and new downspouts placed around the house and the garage. Also, we decided to install the LED’s and replace a couple lights at the rear and front of the house (and eventually the garage) with flood lights and motion detectors. Darren arranged for an electrician he worked with and trusted to do the flood replacement and installs.

Well all of this came to fruition over two days recently (August 9th & 13th). On the 9th the crew came by and removed the old soffit and added additional ventilation to the attic. They were there most of the day starting at 8am. It rained the rest of the week and weekend. They returned on the 13th to complete the job and I must say I couldn’t be more pleased. The crew was there from a bit after 7am and didn’t leave ‘til a bit after 7pm. The entire house looks fantastic. If it’s possible for someone could fall in love with eaves trough it’s just happened. I can’t believe how good it looks. The company did a fantastic job. My neighbour commented on the look as well and really liked the LED’s. He also commented on how well Darren’s crew worked together. Darren stayed until it got dark so he could take a picture. I can say unequivocally that this was a great experience and a great company to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I want to thank North Shore, Darren and his entire crew for doing a fantastic job. Definitely 10+ stars!!!
