Fix the gutter first. Then protect it.
Pickering is in Durham Region on the Lake Ontario shore, immediately east of the City of Toronto across the Rouge valley and west of Ajax. It is the eastern side of the Gutter Proof service map.
A gutter guard on its own does not fix a gutter. That is the whole reason four of our five steps happen before any mesh is fitted: the run is emptied, sealed, straightened and reinforced first, so the protection is going onto something that actually drains.
Five steps on every Pickering 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.

Most homes are a single day of work. The debris leaves with us, and the finished run is photographed before we go, so you have an after set as well as a before set.
