Fix the gutter first. Then protect it.
Markham sits in York Region north-east of the City of Toronto, bordering Scarborough and North York along Steeles Avenue and running up to Richmond Hill and Vaughan on the west. Unionville and part of Thornhill are inside it, and all of it is on our map.
What separates this from a normal gutter guard job is the order of operations. Cleaning, resealing, realigning and reinforcing all happen before the mesh, so the protection is being fitted to a gutter that drains rather than to one that is already failing.
Five steps on every Markham 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.

If your gutters have a guard on them now and still overflow, that is the order of operations showing itself. The drone images from the inspection will show you exactly where the water is going.
