North Shore Eavestroughing

Thank you so much Darren for saving the day! ... and my wits! Each and every spring and fall I have to go up the ladder on some cold wet rainy day and clean out the eaves. Which is about as enjoyable as to have a flat tire on a car. But no more! I contacted Darren to come and install a leaf guard system on the eaves and all I can say is " thank you"! Say goodbye to ice damming. These things work great. I just went up to the eaves to take a look and they are draining perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone that has trees on their property where the leaf / needles get into the eaves. Certainly a time saver! Thanks Darren at Northshore!

Darren and his team were great, and they obviously work well together. Darren had come by 2 years earlier to do an estimate, spending at least an hour at my home, climbing the roof and discussing my options. I procrastinated because I wasn't sure the 2 leaf guard options would work with the fine leaf and stalks of my 3 large locust trees too close to my roof (I've already had problems with ice damming) I had them remove my old and ineffective mesh and completely clear out the debris prior to the previous winter, and for the first time, no icicles! We had new eavestroughs and Alu-Rex installed this fall. Job done professionally. Darren on the roof as well! Unfortunately., while Alu-Rex does keep the debris out, the fine leaf and stems do not blow off, and I will still have to hire someone to sweep it off.

Wonderful experience with North Shore Eavestroughing, from start to finish. Completed a large Leaf Guard install on my property and I could not be more pleased. The installers took their time to make sure all areas were treated properly as we had some ununsual shapes and corners and a very high-pitched roof. After discussing all the options and pros and cons with me they completed the job in a very timely manner. Once Fall came I was SO thrilled with the new system as I had almost no debris in my eaves! The office staff and installers are all very professional and are very honest. I would highly recommend North Shore AND the Leaf Guard system to anyone.

North Shore replaced my old eavestroughs with the T-REX leafguard system and they work great. Very pleased with the work and especialy pleased with the customer service. When I asked them to double check the work of their installers they came right out and address my minor concern, no problem. Honest truthworthy and friendly service. I would highly recommend this company.

I would highly recommend North Shore. Nick came to give us a quote as scheduled, and made valuable design recommendations. Laura followed up promptly by phone and email, and scheduled an appointment for a week later. When they were short-staffed due to illness, Laura again contacted us promptly and rescheduled for a week later. Nick and the crew showed up on time, were courteous and quick, and completely cleaned up afterwards. Apart from our nice new eavestroughs that perfectly match the house trim colour, you'd never know they were there. Great job!

The eavestroughs were replaced as discussed. The crew cleaned up all the debris. Darren was very responsive to email and phone calls. I have no complaints and would recommend North Shore Eavestroughing.

We had some water related chaos last summer and part if it was due to our eaves. One of our two downspouts was in a horrible location and connected to the city, our eaves were using the old spike mounts so there were quite a few gaps and worst of all we noticed it overflowing quite badly during heavy rain. I did my usual routine; contact the top five contractors on Home Stars, advise them I was seeking quotes from another five contractors, meet with them, and then let them provide their quote. We made contact with four of the five, only two had a receptionist that was able take my call live and immediately book a site inspection/quotation, and North Shore Eavestroughing was one of them. Their representative was polite, thorough and based his quote on a solution that fit my needs. North Shore was top rated at the time so I figured having them come first and quote on the premium solution (included the T-REX leave guard) would be my deluxe most expensive option. After I got the other three quotes the choice was simple considering North Shore’s quote was actually the lowest price. One of the other quotes was in the same ballpark for almost as good a solution but the other two weren’t even close. Needless to say I book my install with North Shore.

We were expecting heavy rain the week before my scheduled install so out of panic I called North Shore and asked if they could squeak me in if at all possible. Darren got involved and really came through as he managed to have a crew come by the next day as they’d finished another project early. The two man install team were on time, friendly, and respectful of my property and conducted themselves in a professional manner. They finished on time and left my with a great looking product. It’s worth mentioning that because my house was slopped a certain way it made leveling the eaves to the two desired downspouts a little tricky, but they managed and even installed some flashing free of charge because it was the right thing to do and they wanted to ensure I was properly taken care of. A day later Darren came by in person just to inspect the install his crew did and to ensure I was happy. He took the time to walk the entire house and even made a minor tweak I requested.

From start to finish I couldn’t be happier with the service and product I got from North Shore Eavestroughing. I’d highly recommend them and suggest anyone strongly considers them for their eavestroughing needs.

I would highly recommend North Shore. The work was done promptly, within the estimate. Everyone was polite and professional. The clean-up was excellent. Most important, the result was outstanding. My eavestroughts now do the job they are supposed to do.

Prompt estimate and courteous, hassle-free service. Took extra time to add careful finishing touches (read: good workmanship). No scratches, dings, or marks left on new product or building exterior. Presentable bright working crew, never any typical industry foul language.

Started and finished on time, no mess left anywhere. Can't recall now exactly what I paid but it was a reasonable, fair amount for the work completed. Timely follow-up. I would certainly recommend their services to anyone, without regrets.
