Maxima Aluminum LTD has served the West GTA since 2002. Learn about our team, history and credentials on the About page.

Ask us for our insurance certificate and the WSIB documentation applicable to your project and assigned crew. We can review these documents before work starts. Our About page includes the insurance certificate and training information.

We publish practical guides and project write-ups on our
Exterior Tips & Blog —
including topics like soffit ventilation, gutter sizing, gutter guards and planning larger exterior projects.

A leaking corner or loose section may be repairable if the surrounding gutters and fascia are sound. Widespread damage or repeated failed repairs may justify replacement. Age alone does not decide it. We assess the condition and discuss repair and replacement options where both are practical.

A 6-inch gutter has more capacity than a 5-inch gutter. The right size depends on the roof area, pitch, valleys and outlet layout. Larger gutters do not fix blocked outlets or poorly routed downspouts. See our 5-inch vs. 6-inch guide for a closer comparison.

Check gutters in spring and fall, and after heavy leaf fall or storms. Clean them when debris collects, with more frequent checks near trees. Gutter guards can reduce debris buildup, but they still need inspection and occasional maintenance.

Vented soffit provides intake air for a vented attic when there is a clear air path to the roof vents. Ventilation works alongside air sealing and insulation; new soffit alone will not resolve every condensation or ice-dam problem. Areas without an attic, such as some porch ceilings, may use plain soffit instead. We review the existing arrangement before recommending panels.

No. Sound fascia boards and capping can often remain. Damaged wood needs assessment and repair before new gutters or aluminum capping go over it. We explain which sections need work; a damaged fascia board does not automatically mean replacing all the soffit and gutters.

We work with vinyl siding, aluminum siding and select fibre-cement options such as
James Hardie products, depending on the home and design. We also install
aluminum cladding on
frieze boards, posts and trims to reduce painting and maintenance.

Both. We frequently update one or two elevations (for example, the front and sides)
or specific problem areas, and we also handle full-house siding renovations. During your visit we’ll
discuss what makes the most sense for your budget and curb appeal.

They can help when leaves and debris regularly collect in the gutters. The choice depends on nearby trees, roof runoff, access and the condition of the existing gutters. Guards reduce maintenance but do not make the system maintenance-free or correct an existing drainage problem.

We install Alu-Rex systems. T-Rex and DoublePro are options for new eavestroughs; Gutter Clean products fit suitable existing gutters. We review the roofline and debris conditions before recommending a product. See our gutter guard comparison.

Yes. We provide free, written estimates for eavestrough, soffit and fascia,
siding, gutter guards and related exterior work. Most quotes include a clear scope,
materials, options and timing.

Key things include total footage, number of corners and levels, access (for example, walk-out
basements or tight side yards), material choice and any repairs needed to the wood structure.
We’ll explain how each item affects the price during your estimate. For an initial gutter budget, try our eavestrough cost calculator.

Often, yes. We can prioritize urgent items first (for example, leaking gutters or rotten fascia)
and schedule remaining soffit, siding or cladding work in a second stage.

A straightforward eavestrough replacement may take one working day. Combined soffit, fascia and gutter work or siding replacement usually takes longer. Timing depends on the scope, access, material availability and weather. We review the expected schedule before work starts.

Yes — we do work through the winter when weather and safety permit.
Extremely cold, icy or stormy periods may require us to pause or reschedule, but we can still inspect,
plan and book your project so it’s completed in the earliest suitable window.

Old gutters, downspouts and aluminum off-cuts are removed from site and recycled where possible.
We sweep and magnet-check the work area so your driveway, walkways and landscaping are left tidy.

Qualifying new installations may include a 5-year workmanship warranty when stated in your written agreement. Manufacturer coverage varies by product. Repairs, service visits and partial replacements are not automatically covered. Read the warranty terms and exclusions and check the coverage in your quote.

Yes. Contact us with a description and photos if you notice a problem with drainage, fastening or the finish. We review the issue and confirm whether the applicable warranty covers it or whether a separate service quote is needed.
