Web Design for Eavestrough and Gutter Companies
I design websites for eavestrough and gutter companies in Ontario. When the quote is signed at the customer's house, Ontario regulates what that paper has to contain. The sheet below is that list — fifteen items from O. Reg. 17/05 — and the orange ones are things your website can tell a customer before anyone knocks on the door. A site that does that makes the quote feel like the next step rather than a surprise.
Who
- 1The customer's name and address
- 2Your name, and your business name if different
- 3Your phone number, business address and other contact routes
- 4Who solicited, negotiated and concluded the agreement
What & when
- 5The date and place it was entered into
- 6A fair and accurate description of the goods and services
- 12Delivery, start and completion dates
Money
- 7The total amount payable
- 8The terms of payment
- 9An itemised price list, including taxes
- 10Any trade-in and its allowance
- 14The currency, if not Canadian
Rights
- 11The statement of cancellation rights, on the first page or signposted there
- 13Any cancellation, refund or warranty terms you add
- 15Any other restrictions or conditions you impose
Items paraphrased from O. Reg. 17/05, s. 35 (1), under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, read on 28 September 2026. It applies to direct agreements over $50 (s. 34). The orange marks are my own editorial choice, not part of the regulation.
What does an eavestrough company need from its website?
A separate page for each job it quotes differently, a quote form that takes a photo, its own photographs of real houses, an honest statement of how far out it is booking, and the paperwork explained before the visit. Colours, layout and copy are decided after those five.
Eavestrough work arrives as four quite different enquiries. A new installation is a planned purchase, often on a builder's timeline. A replacement is a planned purchase too, usually made before winter. A repair is urgent and is described by a symptom — a leak at a seam, a run pulling off the fascia, water over the step. Cleaning and guards are maintenance, often bought on a schedule. Each one is typed into Google in its own words, and a single “Services” page that lists all four does not answer any of them first.
The weather decides when each one peaks. On the Wasaga Beach page I counted a year of daily records from the Environment Canada station on the beach: 75 days that crossed zero between November and May, when ice and frozen downspouts are the problem, and a wettest day of 62.9 mm in July, when overflow is. The same two seasons apply across southern Ontario in different proportions, and a site that has the ice page written in November and the overflow page written in June is ready for both.
If you also do siding, soffit and fascia, those belong on their own pages on the same site — see siding and exteriors web design — and if roofing is part of the business, roofing company web design covers that side.
Which services should an eavestrough website separate?
Installation, replacement, repair, and cleaning with guards — because a different person arrives at each with a different question. A builder wants lead times. A homeowner replacing troughs wants the material and the price basis. Someone with a leak wants to know you do repairs and will look at a photo. Build only the pages for work you sell.
New installation
Seamless troughs formed on site, materials and colours, downspout placement.
Reads first: how far out you are booking, and who they deal with.
Replacement
Removal and disposal, a check of the fascia behind, and the new system.
Reads first: whether the quote is an estimate or a fixed price.
Repair
Leaking seams, loose hangers, sagging runs, downspouts off the wall.
Reads first: that you do repairs, and that a photo is enough to start.
Cleaning & guards
What a visit includes, downspout flushing, which guard types you fit.
Reads first: the price basis, and whether guards suit their roof.
Which Ontario rules change what an eavestrough website should say?
Three, mainly. The Consumer Protection Act caps a charge at 10 per cent over an estimate and gives a 10-day cancellation right on agreements signed at home. O. Reg. 17/05 lists what the written agreement must contain. O. Reg. 297/13 requires Working at Heights training, valid for three years, for workers who use fall protection.
| Rule | What it says | What the website does about it |
|---|---|---|
| CPA 2002, s. 10 | A supplier may not charge more than 10 per cent above an estimate in a consumer agreement. | Labels any price range as a guide, and says whether customers receive an estimate or a fixed price. |
| CPA 2002, s. 43 (1) | A direct agreement can be cancelled without reason within 10 days of receiving the written copy. | Explains the quote process honestly, so nobody signs in a hurry and cancels later. |
| O. Reg. 17/05, s. 35 (2) | If work does not begin within 30 days after the start date in the agreement, the customer may cancel. | States a real booking lead time on the service pages and keeps it current. |
| O. Reg. 17/05, s. 35.1 | Furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters, water treatment and duct cleaning cannot be sold door to door unless the customer asked for the visit. | Nothing directly — eavestroughs are not on that list — but it is worth knowing where the line is. |
| O. Reg. 297/13, ss. 7–10 | Workers who may use fall protection on a construction project need approved Working at Heights training, valid three years, with a record kept. | Says the crew's training is current, as a claim a customer can ask you to support. |
From the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, O. Reg. 17/05 and O. Reg. 297/13, read on 28 September 2026. I am a web designer, not a lawyer: this is what I build around, not advice on your contracts.
Have you built a website for an eavestrough company?
Not for a company that does only eavestroughs. The nearest real work is a siding, soffit, fascia and seamless-gutter company in Wasaga Beach whose website I work on. Its gutter page carries its own quote form with a photo upload and a choice of installation, replacement, repair or other — the structure I would start from.
A Simcoe County exterior company with a gutter page of its own
AG Exteriors Matter sells siding, soffit and fascia, caulking, repairs and seamless gutters, each on a separate page. The gutter page covers seamless aluminum troughs, copper as an option and optional gutter guards, states that the company is insured and WSIB-registered, and puts its quote form on the same page. Read the case study · Visit the live site.
What I would not claim from it: anything to do with scheduling software, crew dispatch or online payments. Those would be scoped with you against whatever you already use.
Where have you written a city page for eavestrough companies?
One so far, in Wasaga Beach, because that is where the real project is. Each city page is written from that town's own figures — its weather station, its census counts and its neighbouring municipalities — rather than a template with the name swapped. More will follow only where there is something true to say.
What an eavestrough website costs
$899 one-time for up to 10 pages, $1,499 for a larger structure with a page per service and per town, and $2,999 where booking, payments or documents are involved. One payment, fixed in writing before work starts, and about 5 to 7 days once the content is ready. Detail on my website design packages.
Eavestrough Company Website FAQ
What pages should a gutter company website have?+
One per job you quote differently: new installation, replacement, repair, and cleaning with guards, plus soffit and fascia if you do them and a separate route for builders. Add a page for each town you genuinely work in, a contact page with a photo-first quote form, and an about page with your own crew and trucks. Leave out any page for a service you do not sell.
Should an eavestrough website show prices?+
It can show a guide, as long as it is labelled as one. Under section 10 of Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002, a supplier may not charge more than 10 per cent above an estimate in a consumer agreement. So say whether your written quote is an estimate or a fixed price, and that the written quote is what counts rather than the range on the page.
What has to be in an eavestrough quote signed at the customer's home?+
O. Reg. 17/05 lists fifteen items for a direct agreement over $50, including your business name and contact details, a fair description of the work, the total, the terms of payment, an itemised price list with taxes, the start and completion dates, and a statement of the customer's cancellation rights on the first page or signposted there. The website can explain most of that before the visit.
Have you built a website for an eavestrough company?+
Not for a company that does only eavestroughs. The nearest real work is AG Exteriors Matter in Wasaga Beach, a siding, soffit, fascia and seamless-gutter company whose website I work on. Its gutter page has its own quote form with a photo upload and a service-type choice, which is the structure I would start from for an eavestrough company.
How much does an eavestrough company website cost?+
$899 one-time for up to 10 pages, $1,499 for a larger structure with a page per service and per town, and $2,999 where booking, payments or a document flow are involved. It is one payment, fixed in writing before work starts, and about 5 to 7 days once the content is ready. Google Business Profile management is separate, from $149 per month.
