Tip Top Trough

In August 2006 my wife and I were thrilled when we bought our first new home straight from the builder himself. The house was beautiful on the inside and out….or so we thought. Two years after moving in we get a huge flood in our basement, the water was pouring in from the basement walls and soaked everything….a real nightmare for those who have never had the pleasure. Our Water proofer suggested we disconnect our downpipes to prevent any potential repeat and conveniently we received a flyer from Tip Top Trough in the mail. They were able to disconnect the custom copper downpipes and exit them in convenient locations around the entire house. Their work was impeccable and the copper looks great!

Tip Top Trough cleaned our eavestrough two weeks ago and did a great job. They were quick with their quote, fair with their price and didn’t leave a mess. I had seen one of the pipes leaking water and wanted to make sure that it was not broken. They actually ended up dismantling the pipe and clearing it out – for no additional charge. Fair and honest, two great qualities in a contractor! 10 +

I own a small property management company that looks after and rents out income properties for out-of-town clients. Last year after a disastrous roofing installation, I contacted Tip Top Trough to quote me on new soffit, fascia and eavestrough. The only reason I knew of the disastrous roofing installation is because Pierce brought it to my attention. He documented several things about the roofing installation and provided me with digital pictures of their shoddy work and mess. He did this on his own time without a financial agreement from me. Tip Top Trough did a great job on strengthening our rafters, replacing the wood fascia and installing new eaves soffit and fascia aluminum. The pictures are my ace in the hole when I go to court this summer against the roofers. Highly Recommended!

I had Tip Top Trough install de-icing cables for me in Fall 2008 before that really heavy winter. They worked like a charm and are still in their shape. You see a lot of roof cables on houses that are loose and sloppy I think it looks terrible when it look like a drunk electrician installed them. Anyway Tip Top was well priced but the value from their quality installation is what made me really happy. Thanks Pierce.

My husband and I bought our first house a year ago in one of the new sub divisions in Thornhill Woods. Imagine our disappointment when coming home one night from a party we found our eavestrough hanging from our roof and water soaking our garage roof. I remembered seeing a sign at a neighbor’s house about eavestrough repair so I quickly got in the car and went to write down the number. I was so nervous about the hanging eavestrough I called them right from the car. It was Sunday night at 9pm and I left a very frantic message on the voice mail. I received a call from Tip Top Trough the next morning at 7 am and they were at our house that afternoon. Not only did they fix the eavestrough but he promised me that the part they repaired would never come down again as long as I own the house. Thanks Tip Top!

My wife hired Tip Top Trough to clean our eavestroughs. Immediately I noticed something different, they were NOT putting the ladders on our eavestrough. They used these prongs to rest the ladder on the roof, keeping our eavestrough undamaged. After a thorough hand cleaning of the eaves, they then proceeded to flush the entire eavestrough with water and then re-tightened all the eavestrough to the roof. I was very impressed and would recommend them to anyone who wants their eavestroughs cleaned right.

Tip Top Trough surpassed our expectations when we hired them to clean our eavestroughs. They were very thorough and polite and we will have them back every year to look after our house. Thank You.

The old owners of our house did very little to upkeep the property. One of the big problems were the eavestrough and downpipes. While they looked ok there was water dripping from a few spots, there were some nails popping out and the brick was wet around the chimney. I spoke to two other eavestrough repair companies and they said that the eavestrough could be repaired. I wanted another estimate and was referred to Tip Top Trough by a co-worker and met Pierce at the house that weekend. He also said the eavestrough could be repaired but asked me why we would want to. He pointed out that the eavestrough was at least 20 years old and will need replacing in the next 2-3 years anyway. He said that to spend one dollar on repairing the eavestrough would be throwing money away. By installing new eavestrough we would be able to get the “biggest bang for our buck”. After discussing with my husband we agreed that replacement was the way to go. The Tip Top Trough crew was very polite and were careful around my landscaping. The eavestrough looks amazing and works great. Thanks for everything!

I am a manager for a large property management firm located in Toronto. One of the properties I am responsible for is a 16 unit townhouse complex at Yonge and Lawrence. Ever since my company took over that property we had a major problem with water pouring from the slightly angled flat roof on to our tenants back porch. It was soaked every time it rained in the spring, summer and fall and would be an icicle nightmare in the winter. I must have had a dozen different aluminum and roofing companies try and quote on the problem before I found Tip Top Trough. After a brief inspection, they were able to explain why we were experiencing these problems and had a very simple yet logical solution. After submitting a detailed proposal, we hired them and within 2 weeks they were on site. They were able to finish the repairs in one day and ever since we have had no problems. We now use them to clean and inspect all of our residential properties annually. I highly recommend this company to homeowners and other property managers looking for a professional and knowledgeable company to service their aluminum needs.

We own a house with green eavestrough. It would not have been my first choice but the people who sold us the house seemed to like it. One afternoon playing soccer with my son in the backyard, he crushed a downpipe by accident. Since it seems we live in the rain capital of the world, I knew I needed to fix it sooner than later. The first company I called never called me back, the second company made an appointment but never showed up. The third company called me back and even showed up when they said they would but when I asked them to replace the broken downpipe with the same color they said that they couldn’t because they don’t make that color anymore. He said I could have one of four colors…that’s it. For some reason I didn’t fully believe them and tried my luck one more time. I phoned Pierce at Tip Top Trough and asked him to come provide me a quote. He came on the weekend and to my surprise said that not only do they still make that color, he showed the other 23 colors I could pick from (Pierce offers 3 different shades of white!). Needless to say we hired them and when we are ready to replace the nasty green eavestrough with something else I know who I am going to call.
