After doing some research online (including Homestars) we decided to ask North Shore Eavestroughing to quote on a job at our house. We have 4 trees on our property that in the spring gives the ‘gift’ of thousands of seed keys and in the fall a heavy ‘blessing’ of leaves. The eaves troughs are constantly in need of cleaning. In addition to that they were overflowing every time it rained and in some spots the downspouts were broken. We also had one downspout still sunk into the ground at the rear of the house. We felt there was increased risk of water damage to the basement because of the water overflow and saw evidence of this recently in the guise of wet carpeting near a wall in the basement. North Shore (Darren) came by the house and I described the situation. We talked for a bit and he told me about what his company could do for me. We discussed leaf guard for the eaves troughs, placing seamless eaves troughs around the home and replacing the facia. After a subsequent discussion with my wife we decided to also replace the soffit (for aesthetic reasons). My eye caught something on North Shore’s website where they described LED pot lights made by a company called Delphi Tech. I asked him to provide a quote on this as well. After several rounds of quotes we ended up having leaf guard, soffit, facia and new downspouts placed around the house and the garage. Also, we decided to install the LED’s and replace a couple lights at the rear and front of the house (and eventually the garage) with flood lights and motion detectors. Darren arranged for an electrician he worked with and trusted to do the flood replacement and installs. Well all of this came to fruition over two days recently (August 9th & 13th). On the 9th the crew came by and removed the old soffit and added additional ventilation to the attic. They were there most of the day starting at 8am. It rained the rest of the week and weekend. They returned on the 13th to complete the job and I must say I couldn’t be more pleased. The crew was there from a bit after 7am and didn’t leave ‘til a bit after 7pm. The entire house looks fantastic. If it’s possible for someone could fall in love with eaves trough it’s just happened. I can’t believe how good it looks. The company did a fantastic job. My neighbour commented on the look as well and really liked the LED’s. He also commented on how well Darren’s crew worked together. Darren stayed until it got dark so he could take a picture. I can say unequivocally that this was a great experience and a great company to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I want to thank North Shore, Darren and his entire crew for doing a fantastic job. Definitely 10+ stars!!! D.K. & Family

Hi Dave, thanks so much for the detailed review! We really appreciate your attention to detail! We want all our clients to be as satisfied as you when we are done. Your review is music to our ears! Darren

I just had my eavestroughs replaced by North Shore, and I'm happy to report that all the glowing reviews on this site are absolutely true. I was so impressed with the service--from estimate to installation, everyone at North Shore was extremely professional. The eavestroughs are beautiful (as beautiful as eavestroughs can be!) and it is good to know that they will stay that way for years to come. Highly recommended!

Company Response:

Hi Suzanne, nice seeing you today! Thanks again and it was a pleasure to do this work for you. Unless you move, you should not have to think about eavestroughs again for about another 30 years! Nick and Cedric did a great job for you.

Before calling North Shore Eavestroughing I did my due diligence and found out as much as I could about what a good company would suggest for applyiing eavestroughing to my house which has a steel roof. I also got three quotes. When Darren came to the house I realized that he was very knowlegeable and was telling me the truth about what was needed for my house. The quote was the most expensive but not by much and I just felt that I should go with North Shore. Two personable young fellows came out promptly the morning that was booked and worked hard a good portion of the day. They used top quality materials and as far as I can tell did a bang up job. There was a little leaking on a short portion of the trough in front of the garage and they came back out and re-sloped it. Both times they cleaned up the property where they worked and you would never know they were there except for the lovely eavestroughs they installed. I do feel that I got great value for my money and not just because of their great warranty. I would most definitely recommend this company to my family and friends.

Company Response:

Thanks Lorraine! Glad to hear you had a great experience with North Shore. Yes we did follow up as a result of a leak which had more to do with the steel roof which required some extra caulking. Thanks for the review! Nick and Tony worked extra hard to overcome the challenges of the steel roof.

I was very impressed with Darren and his team. They provided me with a quote in a timely manner and I waited approximately 2 weeks to have the work completed. Nick and Cedric completed the job and they did an excellent job. I was also impressed with the fact that they cleaned my property. There was not one ounce of debris on my property after the job. Thank you North Shore.

Company Response:

Thanks Janey for choosing us. When I came by for an ispection I was also impressed with how much better your home looks with the new black eaves and fascia. Nick and Cedric made sure every little bit was picked up! Way to go guys and thanks for the review!

Darren and his team were great to work with. They showed up quickly to do the estimate and left a very comprehensive package of information and material samples with me. The job was scheduled well ahead of expectations and the installers did a fabulous job. They removed all the old material from the premises and left everything very tidy. Darren (the owner) even popped by a couple of days later to inspect the work. Very professional team and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Company Response:

Thanks Peter, glad you had a great experience and it was a team effort on our part. Having a professional team is the key to success. Nice to meet you and glad you have no more water overflowing!

100% satisfied from estimate to completion of the job. Professional, friendly, pride in workmanship. I would call North Shore again with no hesitation and I would recommend them to anyone considering this type of project. Thanks for a job well done!

Company Response:

Having a great team of people here at North Shore makes it all happen. We appreciate you taking the time to write this!

It was tough finding a reputable company to replace my 30 year old eavestroughs - until I came upon North Shore Eavestroughing. Darren, the owner of the company, and his team are professional, personable, reasonably priced, and really understand eavestroughs. Darren's assessment of our drainage requirements was bang on. He proposed a gutter and downspout setup that met our requirements. Angela, Darren's wife, emailed the quote to me and was also very professional in handling some changes required to my quote. Darren called to arrange an installation date and the 2 installers arrived on time and worked diligently throughout the day, and happily answered any questions I had regarding the installation and also attended to some last minute changes. They cleaned up the site as promised and the quality of their workmanship is evident. I would recommend them to anyone requiring new eavestroughs. In fact a few neighbours impressed with the work done on my home have obtained estimates to get their eavestroughs done!

Company Response:

Thanks! Having all your upper roof water drain to safe locations is what we worked hard to make happen. Thanks for the recommendation to your neighbors.

A truly professional job. The estimate was very detailed and identified all the warranties and specified the quality of the materials to be used. They arrived on the date specified and completed the job within a few days. Darren went out of his way to get some light bulbs for our existing outside lights to match the newly installed ones. Communication throughout was clear and very polite. There were a few loose ends which we called about and they were dealt with in a timely manner. I saw them working on a job in the community and was impressed with their workmanship and am glad that I went on my gut feeling. I would highly recommend them. We are truly delighted with the job!!

Company Response:

We are very happy to provide you with a new eavestrough system and LED lighting for your home. We look forward to seeing you next time we are working on your street. Tony and Nick did an super job for you. Way to go team.
