A 16-year-old eavestrough system in Burlington, cleaned for $200. The trough held enough composted debris to grow live moss, and the main downspout for the roof stood on the neighbour's side of the property line. What we did about that, and what Ontario and the city by-law actually say about your roof water.
A routine $200 eavestrough cleaning in Etobicoke, booked because ice kept forming on the front steps. The trough came clear easily. The flush test found the real fault: one corner with no fall, sitting directly above the steps where the homeowner had slipped and broken her arm.
A Toronto homeowner called about her window tracks, not her glass. What we found in the channels, the five-stage sequence we used on them, why we never reach for bleach, and the $130 plus $30 invoice behind the visit.

How long do gutter guards last? The Toronto set we replaced had served 15-20 years, with shrubs growing from the compost underneath. Full replacement with gasketed fasteners, a $190 roof moss rescue below the failed overflow, and a $170 stone patio reset on the same visit.

Do gutter guards work? We opened a guarded downtown Toronto eavestrough and found composted soil with live plants growing at the downspout: guards installed with open gaps and no connections. Cleaned, rebuilt free, and treated the mossy roof for $120.
Five days at a Ukrainian seniors' residence in Mississauga: about 180 windows inside and out, 158 mosquito screens from 1980 at $5 each, two calcium-crusted sunrooms restored by hand, and a commercial kitchen ceiling degreased. Roughly $5,000, discounted for the non-profit.
A modern Etobicoke build, $240, exterior only: skylights reached by carrying a folding ladder onto the roof, construction tape scraped off glass by hand, back windows washed over a 400 kg gazebo, and the glass garage door done free.
A North York homeowner booked a gutter cleaning; our technician found moss colonising the shingle seams. $110, one no-rinse treatment, and 4 weeks later the roof sheds the dead growth itself. No pressure washing.
