    Residential Gutter Installation & Cleaning Services

    Residential gutter installation and cleaning keep water moving safely away from your home, and Markit Roofing handles both for homeowners across Calgary and Edmonton. Gutters are easy to ignore until they fail, yet they do quiet, important work every time it rains or the snow melts.

    When installed properly and kept clear, they channel water off the roof and away from your walls and foundation. When they sag, overflow, or clog, that water ends up exactly where you do not want it, against the siding, into the basement, or pooling at the base of the house. We install new eavestrough systems sized and pitched correctly for your roof, and we clean and maintain existing ones so they keep doing their job year-round.

    Alberta’s mix of heavy rain, snowmelt, and freeze cycles puts real demands on a gutter system, and a neglected one causes damage far out of proportion to its size. Whether you need a fresh installation or a roof line cleared before winter, we make sure water goes where it should. It is a small part of the house that protects some of the most expensive parts, and we treat it accordingly.

    Why Gutters Matter More Than You Think

    Gutters protect the parts of your home that cost the most to repair. Without a working system, rainwater and snowmelt pour straight off the roof edge, splashing against siding, seeping toward the foundation, and eroding the ground around your home. Over time, that leads to cracked foundations, damp basements, rotted fascia, and ruined landscaping, all from water that gutters would have carried safely away. In Alberta, freeze-thaw cycles make overflow even more damaging, as trapped water refreezes and expands. A modest gutter system quietly prevents thousands in avoidable damage.
     
    Signs Your Gutters Need Attention:
    • Water overflowing the edges during rain instead of draining
    • Sagging sections or gutters pulling away from the fascia
    • Staining, streaking, or rot on the siding and fascia below
    • Pooling water or eroded soil at the base of the house
    • Visible debris, plant growth, or clogs in the channels
    Any of these means water is not being managed the way it should be, and the damage compounds the longer it continues. Overflow and pooling indicate clogs or poor drainage, while sagging and separation usually indicate the system is failing or was never installed correctly. Rot on the fascia is a sign water has been sitting where it should not for some time. We assess which apply to your home and recommend the right response, whether a thorough cleaning, a targeted repair, or a full new installation.

    Our Process

    Assessing Your Home’s Drainage Needs

    Everything starts with understanding how water actually moves off your particular roof and where it needs to go. We look at your roof size and pitch, the length of the runs, where downspouts should discharge, and how the ground around your home slopes away from the foundation. A gutter system that is undersized or poorly positioned will overflow no matter how well it is built, so getting this right at the start matters more than anything that follows.
     
    For an existing system, we assess its condition and whether cleaning, repair, or replacement makes the most sense for you. We explain what we find plainly and recommend what your home genuinely needs, not the largest job we could sell. You get a clear picture of your drainage situation before any work or cost is agreed.

    Installing a System Built for Your Roof

    When you need new gutters, we install a system sized and pitched correctly for the water your roof sheds. Proper slope directs water to the downspouts rather than letting it sit and overflow, and proper sizing handles the volume that Alberta rain and snowmelt can generate. We secure the gutters firmly to the fascia so they hold up under the weight of water, snow, and ice, and we position downspouts to discharge well away from the foundation.
     
    Seamless options reduce the leak points that plague older sectional systems and keep the run looking clean along the roof edge. Throughout, we match the work to your home so the finished system looks right and, more importantly, moves water exactly where it should for years to come, without the sagging and overflow that plague a poorly fitted system.

    Cleaning and Clearing Existing Gutters

    For gutter cleaning, we clear the full length of the system of leaves, debris, and any buildup that blocks water flow, then flush the channels and downspouts to confirm everything drains freely. Clogged gutters are behind a large share of the overflow and water damage we see, and clearing them is simple, inexpensive protection. We also check for early problems while we are up there, spotting sagging, loose fasteners, or separating seams before they become bigger issues.
     
    Doing this before winter is especially valuable, since clogged gutters contribute to ice damming and the water backup that follows. We leave the system clear, flowing, and ready to handle whatever the season brings, and we let you know if anything needs further attention before it turns into a real problem.

    Confirming Water Flows Where It Should

    Whether we have installed a new system or cleaned an existing one, we finish by confirming water actually goes where it is supposed to. We check that the gutters drain properly, that the downspouts carry water well clear of the foundation, and that there are no leaks or overflow points left behind. We clean up any debris from the work and leave your property neat and tidy.
     
    Then we tell you honestly how the system looks and flag anything worth watching, such as a downspout that could discharge further out or a section worth monitoring. The point is not just to finish the task but to leave you with a drainage system you can trust through the next storm and the next thaw, one that quietly protects your walls and foundation without needing a second thought.

    Why Homeowners Choose Markit Roofing for Gutters

    To us, gutters are not an afterthought but an integral part of how a roof manages water, and we approach them that way. A roof and its drainage work together, so we consider the whole system rather than treating the gutters in isolation. That perspective means we spot how a drainage problem connects to the roof edge, the fascia, and the water shedding off the surface above. A company that fits gutters without understanding the roof can miss why a system keeps overflowing. Because roofing is our core work, we bring that fuller understanding to every gutter job, which is why the drainage we install or restore actually solves the problem rather than just moving it.
    Most gutter failures stem from systems that were the wrong size or pitched incorrectly, and this is where we take particular care. A gutter that cannot handle the volume, or that lacks the slope to move water to the downspouts, will overflow no matter how tidy it looks. We size and pitch every installation to the actual water your roof sheds and the length of the runs it has to cover. Getting these fundamentals right is far more important than appearances, though a well-fitted system looks good too. It is the difference between drainage that quietly works for years and a system that frustrates you every time it rains hard, spilling over the edge exactly where you do not want it.
    When you call us about gutters, we tell you what your home actually needs. If a good cleaning will solve the problem, we do not push you toward a full replacement to pad the invoice. If the system is failing and cleaning would only delay the inevitable, we say so plainly so you can decide with the full picture in front of you. That straightforwardness runs through everything we do, and it means our recommendation on your gutters is one you can trust rather than a sales angle designed to move you toward the bigger job. Homeowners come back to us and refer their neighbours precisely because the advice matches what the house needs, not what earns us the most on a single visit.
    Gutters here contend with heavy summer downpours, autumn leaf fall, deep snow, and the freeze-and-thaw cycle that drives ice damming, and we install and maintain them with all of that in mind. A system that ignores our winters invites the ice backup that damages roofs and fascia, so we account for those conditions rather than fitting a generic setup. Timing cleaning before the snow arrives, sizing for our rainfall, and securing gutters against snow load are all part of doing the job properly here. Because this is our everyday climate, we bring practical, regional knowledge to your drainage rather than a one-size approach that struggles through an Alberta year.

    Gutter Services We Provide

    Homeowners come to us with a range of gutter needs, from a brand-new installation to routine seasonal cleaning, and we handle the full range under one roof for you. Understanding what each service involves helps you know what your home needs and roughly when to arrange it. The services below cover the situations we see most often across Calgary and Edmonton, from installation through to ongoing upkeep. Whatever condition your gutters are in, we can assess them honestly and carry out the work that keeps water safely flowing away from your home and its foundation.

    New Gutter Installation

    When your home needs a fresh system, we install eavestrough sized, pitched, and secured for your specific roof. Whether you are replacing a failing system or installing gutters where none existed, we build the installation around how much water your roof sheds and where it needs to go. Seamless options and proper fastening reduce the leaks and sagging that trouble older systems. The result is drainage designed for your home rather than an off-the-shelf fit, built to handle Alberta rain and snowmelt for years.

    Gutter Cleaning and Clearing

    Regular cleaning is the simplest, most cost-effective way to keep gutters working, and we clear the full system of leaves, debris, and buildup that blocks flow. We flush the channels and downspouts to confirm they drain freely and check for early problems while we are up there. Clearing gutters before winter is especially worthwhile, since clogs feed the ice damming and backup that cause real damage. It is small, sensible maintenance that prevents far larger and costlier trouble down the line.

    Gutter Repair and Adjustment

    Not every gutter problem needs a full replacement, and we repair systems that are fundamentally sound but underperforming. That might mean resecuring sagging sections, sealing leaking seams, correcting the slope so water reaches the downspouts, or repositioning a downspout that discharges too close to the foundation. Targeted repairs restore a system to proper function at a fraction of replacement cost. We assess honestly whether repair is enough or whether replacing the system serves you better.

    Gutter Guards and Leaf Protection

    For homes surrounded by trees, gutter guards can reduce how often the system needs to be cleaned by keeping leaves and debris out of the channels. They are not a complete substitute for maintenance, but they reduce the buildup that leads to clogs and overflow, which is a real benefit in areas with heavy autumn leaf fall. We can advise whether guards suit your home and the trees around it, and fit them where they genuinely help. Used sensibly, they help keep your drainage clear throughout the seasons.

    Seasonal Gutter Maintenance

    Gutters benefit from regular attention rather than a single fix, and seasonal maintenance keeps them reliable through Alberta’s demanding year. Clearing debris in autumn, checking the system before winter, and confirming everything drains after the thaw all help the system do its job when it matters most. Staying ahead of buildup and minor wear prevents the overflow and ice problems that neglect invites. We make that upkeep straightforward, handling the checks and clearing so your drainage stays dependable.
