Eavestrough Teardown and Reinstall Cost in Hunt Club Ottawa

A complete eavestrough teardown and reinstall in Hunt Club is a significant but worthwhile investment, especially for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that still have their original systems showing decades of wear from Ottawa's punishing winters.

Full Eavestrough Replacement Pricing for Hunt Club

For a typical Hunt Club bungalow with 120 to 150 linear feet of eavestrough, expect to pay $1,800 to $3,500 for a complete teardown and reinstall with new seamless aluminum. A two-storey home in the neighbourhood with 150 to 200 linear feet typically runs $3,000 to $5,500. These prices include removal and disposal of the old system, new seamless aluminum eavestroughs, new hangers at proper Ottawa spacing, downspout reconnection, and cleanup.

Breaking down the cost components: seamless aluminum eavestroughs run $8 to $18 per linear foot installed in Ottawa, with the teardown and disposal of old material adding $2 to $5 per linear foot. New downspouts cost $200 to $600 each, and most Hunt Club homes need 4 to 6 downspouts for proper drainage. Fascia inspection and minor repair during the teardown often adds $200 to $800 if rot or damage is discovered behind the old gutters — and in Hunt Club homes from the 1970s era, some fascia deterioration is common.

Hunt Club sits in an area with mature trees and clay-heavy soil, both of which affect your eavestrough system significantly. The tree canopy means heavier debris loading in fall, making this an excellent time to add gutter guards at $10 to $25 per linear foot if they are not already part of the plan. The clay soil drains poorly, so proper downspout extensions directing water at least 1.8 metres from the foundation — as required by the Ontario Building Code — are essential to prevent basement moisture issues that plague many Hunt Club homes.

When evaluating quotes for a full replacement, a fair price should include these specifics in writing: the gauge of aluminum being used (0.027-inch standard or 0.032-inch premium), hanger spacing (24 inches maximum for Ottawa, with 18-inch spacing preferred), the number and size of downspouts, whether old material removal and disposal is included, and the warranty terms covering both materials and labour. A contractor who quotes significantly below $1,800 for a Hunt Club bungalow may be cutting corners on material gauge, hanger spacing, or downspout count.

The best time to schedule a full replacement in Hunt Club is late spring through early fall, with September and October being the busiest months. Booking in May or June often gives you better availability and sometimes slightly better pricing before the fall rush.

Always get at least three written quotes and confirm that each contractor carries WSIB coverage and a minimum of $2 million in liability insurance.
