Fix the gutter first. Then protect it.
Aurora is a town in York Region on Yonge Street, between Richmond Hill to the south and Newmarket to the north, where the map carries on into East Gwillimbury and Simcoe County.
Nothing about the job changes this far north. The run is cleaned by hand and flushed, every joint is resealed, the fall is corrected, new heavy duty hangers go in where the old ones pulled loose, and stainless steel micro-mesh is cut to the profile and fastened down.
Five steps on every Aurora job.
Four of the five happen before any mesh goes on. That order is the whole difference between gutter protection and a guard laid over a gutter that was already failing.
- Step 01
Clean
Everything comes out by hand, then the run is flushed until the downspout comes out clear.
- Step 02
Reseal
Every corner, end cap, seam and downspout collar is sealed. This is where an old gutter actually leaks.
- Step 03
Realign
Sagging sections come back to line and the whole run is set to a quarter inch of fall per ten feet.
- Step 04
Reinforce
New heavy duty hangers go in wherever the old ones pulled loose, before any weight goes on top.
- Step 05
Protect
Stainless steel micro-mesh goes on last, cut to your gutter profile and fastened down.
Stainless steel micro-mesh on an aluminum frame
A rigid aluminum frame for structural strength and long-term corrosion resistance, and a precision stainless steel micro-mesh that filters fine debris without giving up water flow. Rain goes through. Leaves, needles, maple keys and shingle grit stay on top and blow off dry.
- Aluminum frameRigid, extruded, holds its line
- Corrosion resistantWill not rust or degrade
- Micro-mesh filtrationFine debris stays on top
- Full water flowNothing given up to filter it
Why the preparation matters here.
A guard fitted to a failing gutter fails with it. That is true on every street in the GTA, and it is the reason the mesh is the fifth thing we do rather than the first.

Keeping the run clear and correctly pitched is also the best thing that can be done about ice building at the eave, which is why the realignment step is not optional on any job.
