The comparison
| Yourself | Gouttière Propre | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct cost | Free (if you have the ladder) | Fixed price known in advance |
| Time | Half a day or more | 5 minutes of form |
| Risk of falling | Real, especially on a second storey | Taken on by our technicians, $2M insurance |
| Downspouts clogged in the elbow | Often forgotten | Cleared, taken apart if needed |
| Joints and hangers | To buy and install | Included, up to 2 and 10 |
| Roof inspection | Rarely done | Done if the pitch is 7/12 or less |
| Proof of the work | None | Photos and report |
Our honest opinion
Do it yourself if you have an easy-to-reach bungalow, few trees, a good ladder and someone to hold it. Call us if the house has a second storey, if trees hang over the roof, if the gutters already overflow or if you'd rather keep your Saturday.
If you do it yourself, our 12-point checklist is free.
