Listowel is the north end of Perth County and one of the snowier corners of our area — which puts eavestrough, soffit and ice on the agenda more than most places.
North Perth catches more snow than the south of the county, and that shows up in the work. Ice dams, eavestrough pulled off fascia by ice load, and soffit that was never vented properly in the first place are all common calls here.
The housing is a mix of established town streets and newer development, plus the rural properties out through the townships.

Getting to you
The furthest north we run regularly. Booking ahead helps, and we batch North Perth work where we can.
How a quote works
Call or email with roughly what the house is and what you are thinking. We come and look — free, and with no obligation. On a re-side we will open a section so you hear what the wall is actually doing before you get a number.
You get a written quote itemised by scope, so you can see exactly what is in it. If we find something behind the old cladding that changes the price, you hear about it with photographs before we carry on rather than on the final invoice.

Why Listowel calls us
One trade for the whole edge
Siding, eavestrough, soffit and fascia all terminate along the same line. Doing them together is how that line ends up straight.
Colours from one order. Soffit, fascia, trough and capping matched rather than four suppliers’ idea of white.
We look behind it. On any tear-off you hear what the wall is doing before the quote is final.
Hung to move. Vinyl needs room to expand. Nailed tight it splits, and that is the failure we see most.
Nobody to blame. When the fascia is rotten behind the trough it is one company’s problem.
Ice load, usually made worse by two things: hangers that were spiked into the fascia rather than screwed, and fascia wood that has softened from years of a leaking trough. We check both rather than just rehanging it.
Will new soffit stop my ice dams?
It is a big part of the answer. Ice dams come from heat escaping into the attic and melting snow that refreezes at the cold eave. Proper vented soffit is the intake half of the ventilation that keeps the roof deck cold. Insulation is the other half.
Do you cover the North Perth townships?
Yes - Listowel, Atwood, Monkton, Gowanstown and the rural properties between them.
