Gutters/Eavestrough

[mclean]

Anyone on here install them?

We bought a house that didn't have any and I am having a heck of a time finding someone who isn't too busy.

Parkland county/Alberta Beach area.

Have you tried Gratzfeld Eavestroughing?

 

[mclean]

Yeah I did yesterday. Still waiting for a call back

 

[Zrock]

alot of places shut down for the winter on installations as the cold messes with the install and the gutters in the summer when they heat up..

He popped by this morning unannounced haha.

Yeah I know most shut down or go to a skeleton crew. I won't have to worry about it with this cold weather coming but with this warm weather, all my steps, decks and walk ways are ice

I've known Hermann for a lot of years, they are well known in the area, they used to be sledders too.

 

[mclean]

Good to hear. I'll do my best to use him.

Thanks

 

[Jobu]

Would definitely recommend Herman. Have used him as well, good experience.

 

[mclean]

I got 2 quotes. One from Herman and another one from another company. Herman was over double the price. I guess I need a 3rd quote to see who is more accurate haha.

Don't install in the winter as you will have oil canning come spring and warm weather.

 

[Bernoff]

I will Bite. What is oil canning?

Last time I got a quote the guy told me it was $5.00 per ft for 5 inch trough. So pretty easy to quote if you have a tape measure.

Oil canning is when the metal is fabricated or installed incorrectly and flat parts of the metal end up with waves/ripples similar to a tin can. In fabrication it's typically caused by trying to use too thin of a metal over too long of a lineal span and the rigidity of the metal can't handle the span. In installation, it's usually caused by the material not being fastened correctly.

Yeah one guy is 6 a foot and the other is 9.50. Thicker gauge aluminum but still, it ends up being double all said and done. Not sure it'd worth it or not. Never dealt with this before

 

[sirkdev]

I would get through the spring and deal with in the summer IMO. How old is the house?

 

[mclean]

2010.

I'm just got over a broken foot and have fell on the ice here 2x already so I'm trying to do some preventive maintenance.

I'm good on a snowboard, surf board, wake board, skates etc but I can not walk on my two damn feet haha.

You have to remember what the goal is here, I haven't seen where the heavier gauge diverts the water any better.
