We sure do! Since Gutter Depot changed its name to Trades by Jack, we have moved locations, changed our websites, our uniforms… basically everything. One thing that didn’t change was the number of satisfied customers that keep writing in! 

We thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and post some of those old reviews here, on our new website.

We hope you hope you enjoy reading them half as much as we enjoy receiving them!

Let’s begin our journey in Innisfil, ON. We have done several jobs in Innisfil and they seem to like us a lot up there. Here’s one from our friend, Reg:

Dear LeafGuard by Gutter Depot,

Thank you to your girls in the office for taking my calls, the two guys who came to put up the LeafGuards were very nice and had the work done in 1 1/2 hours. They took all the old eaves with them and put up a sign on my lawn.

Sincerely,

Carol

Eavestroughs protect your home from a variety of issues including damages to your foundation, landscaping, fascia, and more. At Trades by Jack, we have the only one-piece, seamless eavestrough system that’s designed with a built-in hood to keep your gutters clog-free for life.

Our Installation Process:

• Preparation & Measuring: Our installers make an appointment to meet you at your residence to remove your old eavestough system if there is one. During the removal process, we take precise measurements of the area to ensure a perfect fit for the LeafGuard system.
• On-Site Formation: After the measurements have been taken, our expert team roll-forms your new eavestrough system on-site in our factory on wheels. We form the eavestrough system using one continuous piece of heavy-duty aluminum. This creates a perfectly seamless system that fits beautifully onto your home.
• Internal Bracket System: Our system uses non-corrosive brackets that are inserted into the trough and spaced them every .6 meters apart. Once the brackets are in place, the endcaps are placed to ensure a watertight seal.
• Screwed on Installation: After the eavestrough is fully assembled with the internal hangers in place, we screw the system to the fascia board of your home. By using screws, we ensure that the trough won’t sag or pull away. We apply the screws above the water line to make sure that water can’t cause wood rot by seeping into the fascia.

Our reputation is one of excellence and professionalism, which is largely due to the quality installations we perform.

The effectiveness of your rainwater management system is largely affected by its design. There are many systems available in the industry, however, too many of these systems lack the quality design to keep rainwater from damaging your home. At Trades by Jack, we carry a one-piece, seamless eavestrough protection system that uses an innovative, patented design to increase its effectiveness, aesthetic, and ability to stay clog-free. It’s due to the unique design that our eavestrough system has earned the approval of the Good Housekeeping Institute and carries their reputable seal. The Good Housekeeping Seal is proof of our system’s effectiveness and if the system proves to be defective over the first two years after purchase, the Good Housekeeping warranty will take care of it.

One-Piece, Seamless Eavestrough Protection System

The seamless design and one-piece construction of our eavestrough system gives it a low-maintenance quality that no other system possesses. The primary difference can be found in the built-in hood that keeps the trough clear of debris, meaning you never have to worry about clogs again. Furthermore, the one piece of extruded heavy-duty aluminum from which our gutters are made presents a seamless aesthetic that prevents leaks commonly found in sectional eavestrough systems. The lack of seams also means there’s no need for routine maintenance and resealing every season, significantly reducing the cost of general upkeep.

One of the best features of our seamless eavestrough systemis that it’s roll-formed on-site from one-piece of heavy-duty aluminum with the hood formed into the trough itself. That’s what makes the design of LeafGuard’sone-piece piece system so effective and unique. Other systems require or come with a separate piece for protection against clogs that is attached via your roof or internal brackets. Our eavestrough actually has the cover built into it, making it the only true seamless, one-piece gutter system.

Exceptional Eavestrough Design & Installation

At Trades by Jack, we employ only the finest installers and representatives in order to provide you with stellar service and quality information about our wonderful products and services. Each of our installers are professionally trained to ensure that your home is equipped with the perfect-fitting eavestrough system. We make this happen with our “factory on wheels” in which we custom form your LeafGuard system on site to the exact measurements of your home. Our installation process also makes use of special internal brackets that are screwed into your fascia board, providing extra support and strength to your new eavestrough system. Let your home transcend the current standard by contacting us today for a free consultation!

The post The Advantages of LeafGuard Seamless Gutters appeared first on Trades by Jack.

Eavestrough systems are designed to serve two primary purposes; the main one is to redirect rainwater away from your home and the other is to maintain or enhance your home’s curb appeal. The redirection of water is the most important function because it prevents water damage from occurring at the foundation, fascia, landscape, etc. The secondary function of maintaining or enhancing the curb appeal of your home is provided by the seamless beauty and elegant curvature of the system’s sleek one-piece design.

In addition to these qualities, our eavestroughs are also designed to remain clog-free by integrating the innovation of a built-in curved hood that completely covers the top of the trough. Despite the top being fully covered, water is still able to enter the trough by adhering to the surface of the hood and flowing over its gentle curvature at front-facing entrance.

Physics in Action with Liquid Adhesion

The principle of liquid adhesion is what makes our LeafGuard eavestrough system so exceptional. Water adheres to the smooth and rounded surface of the hood and enters the trough via the front-facing ingress. The curve at the front of the hood allows the surface tension of the water to continue without disruption until it reaches the end inside the trough. All of this takes place while the hood continues to shed debris of any size that could potentially clog the system. Even pine needles cannot make their way into the LeafGuard system. Additionally, our system’s oversized downspouts keep even the heaviest amounts of rainwater flowing safely away from the base of your home.

Proven Efficiency & Quality with LeafGuard

The quality and efficiency or our LeafGuard system has been proven time and again on homes across the greater Toronto area and beyond, including those in and surrounding areas. In fact, the eavestrough systems we carry at Trades by Jack have earned the Good Housekeeping Institute’s approval and carry their seal as a testament to their quality. The proven quality of our eavestrough system has made us one of the most trusted names in the industry. Not only is our product of the highest quality but each of our installers are expertly trained to provide you with a perfect fitting eavestrough system. Start enjoying quality protection and exception beauty for your home today by contacting us about our magnificent LeafGuard system.

The post LeafGuard Gutters Have Tremendous Aesthetic Appeal appeared first on Trades by Jack.

The eavestrough protection system we carry at Trades by Jack is the only “all-in-one” solution tor rainwater management available. The reason we confidently refer to it as the only “all in one” system is because combines the qualities of eavestrough protection with those of a standard eavestrough system into one sleek, seamless package. The trough is extruded from one piece of heavy-duty aluminum to create a seamless one-piece system with a built-in hood. The curved hood completely covers the top of the trough but still allows water to flow into the trough via the front facing entrance. The system uses the water’s surface tension to keep it flowing along the smooth surface of the curved hood and into the trough. Meanwhile, any debris that may fall onto the hood harmlessly sheds to ground.

Designed and Engineered to Protect Your Home:

• Seamless Design: Our seamless eavestrough system takes away the potential of leaks forming at worn seals at the seam since it’s a seamless system. The seamless design also means that you don’t have to constantly reapply sealants or welds throughout the year, dramatically cutting down on maintenance costs and labour.
• One-Piece, Built-in Protection: LeafGuard is the only true one-piece eavestrough system with a built-in hood. There’s no need to purchase any aftermarket covers to prevent clogs since one’s already built onto the system.
• Installation: We use screws instead of nails or spikes, which greatly reduces the chance of sagging or falling gutters. Additionally, the internal hangers we use prevent any contact with your roof, keeping its warranty intact. The hangers also provide extra strength and support to the entire system.
• Beauty & Appeal: Our eavestrough system provides low profile beauty with a sleek built-in hood that won’t damage your roofline so your home keeps its stylish curb appeal. Additionally, our LeafGuard system is equipped with ScratchGuard® paint finish to prevent color from chipping, peeling, or cracking.

Protect Your Home with the LeafGuard System

The patented one-piece seamless LeafGuard eavestrough system is a proven product that has earned its reputation of being a high performing system by providing quality protection for homes in and surrounding areas. The Good Housekeeping Institute has even recognized it as an outstanding product worthy of the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Eavestrough maintenance and repair is a very important element to keeping a healthy and happy home. Here at Trades by Jack, we understand that not everybody is in a financial situation where they can invest in our LeafGuard eavestrough system, which is why we proudly offer our eavestrough maintenance and repair services. These services include coming out to your home to inspect your existing eavestrough system to find leaks, broken eavestroughs, clogs, pooling water, and more. If any of these issues are found, we will promptly take care of them to ensure that you won’t have to deal with the potentially major repercussions of having lackluster eavestrough performance.

Consequences of Unmaintained Eavestroughs

• Foundation Damage: Damage to your foundation is one of the biggest consequences of having a less than adequate rainwater management system. Water begins pooling at the base of your home and can cause severe damage to your foundation.
• Eroding Landscape: When water is unable to be redirected away from your home, it collects in your yard and wreaks havoc on your landscaping. Before you know it, your yard will succumb to erosion and be covered in disfiguring cracks and holes.
• Accumulation of Moisture: Clogged gutters are particularly susceptible to an accumulation of moisture that leads to festering mold, plant growth, and pest accumulation in the eavestrough system.
• Fascia Rot: Fascia rot is another consequence of clogged gutters. When water is unable to run through the trough, it overflow from the sides. Constantly exposing your fascia to such on onslaught will cause wood rot, which can lead to a myriad of other problems.
• Basement Flooding: When water is allowed to pool at the base of your home, it will find its way into your basement. This is hazardous for a number of reasons. First of all, if it’s found your way to the basement, you can almost be certain foundation damage has already occurred. Secondly, basement flooding is one of the major causes of a mold infestation.

Avoid Costly Repairs & Health Hazards

One of the best ways to avoid the above issues is to ensure that your eavestrough system is routinely maintained, repaired, and cleaned. The experts we have here at Trades by Jack have a wealth of experience in dealing with eavestrough systems. That’s why our reputation for providing quality service and products is so high.

The post Importance of Repair and Maintenance for Eavestroughs appeared first on Trades by Jack.

Cleaning out an eavetrough is a routine task for most modern GTA homeowners but it doesn’t have to be. There are a great deal of eavestrough protection systems available on the market that are designed to prevent clogs. Unfortunately, many of them are often ineffective and unattractive, leaving many homeowners with lackluster curb appeal and eavestroughs that still clog every chance they get. At Trades by Jack, we can prevent this from happening to your home. We have a patented one-piece eavestrough system with a low-profile and built-in hood that has proven, time and again, its ability to shed debris of any kind. This means you no longer have to worry with cleaning out gutter gunk and you get an attractive eavestrough protection system.

High-Quality Eavestrough System Designed to Protect

Our eavestrough systemis designed to prevent clogs by incorporating a built-in cover that completely guards the inside from debris like sticks, leaves, and pine needles. The front-facing opening is the only entryway into the trough, which is only accessible due to the principle of liquid adhesion. Liquid adhesion is a principle of physics that dictates the continuous flow of water along the designated path of the curved hood, leading directly into the trough. The water molecules want to adhere to the surface of the hood so you don’t have to worry about any excess water running off the system and into your yard. The patented LeafGuard systemgoes a long way in preventing severe damage to your foundation due to pooling water.

A True One-Piece Protection System You can Trust

Our patented system is extruded using one piece of heavy-duty aluminum to give you a true one-piece, seamless eavestrough protection system guaranteed to never clog. This makes our system unique from any other eavestrough and eavestrough protection system, which are constructed using multiple section. Multi-section systems are known to be ineffective, leaving you with seams that are susceptible to leaks and damage. You are also subjected to the increased potential for discontinuous troughs and covers that detach and fly off during heavy storms. Sectional or multiple piece systems significantly increase the chance of incurring damage to the fascia board, siding, and foundation of your home. Furthermore, their ineffectiveness still causes you to have to deal with cleaning the gunk out of your gutters. Don’t suffer the pains of gutter maintenance any longer and contact us about our seamless, one-piece eavestrough system.
