What We Like
- Founded in 1997 and still operating an Edmonton office at 7211 68 Avenue NW
- Eavestroughing page covers repairs, remodelling projects, major installations and leaf guards
- Manufacturer's warranty on installed eavestroughing plus the company guarantee
- States a 5 year workmanship warranty on services and offers financing through a partner lender
- Also offers roofing, siding, windows and doors, so one firm can coordinate the exterior
Things to Consider
- Rated 4.5 from 238 Google reviews, the lowest rating on this list, and most reviews describe roofing work
- The website names no owners and gives no licence number, insurance details or WCB account
- It is a regional company with offices in four cities, so Edmonton crews are not a stand-alone local firm

Company Background
About Great Canadian
Great Canadian was founded in 1997 and now runs offices in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer and Saskatoon, so it is a regional company rather than a single local crew. The Edmonton branch works from 7211 68 Avenue NW and covers roofing, siding, eavestroughs, windows and doors, attic insulation and cultured stone.
On siding, the Edmonton page lists vinyl in several profiles including scallop and shake, James Hardie plank in smooth or wood grain finishes, and Canexel with a baked-on acrylic latex finish. The site describes Hardie as more dent resistant than vinyl and says a new home or a replacement can be done with quick installation by what it calls a licensed team. It states a 5 year workmanship warranty on its services, plus manufacturer warranties on the products, and financing is available through a partner lender. The company also advertises HAAG certified roof inspections, which matters to homeowners who need a hail or wind claim documented before a siding job.
Reviews show how the company handles problems. James said the siding was holding up well but that corners had been cut on an exterior vent, which let water into the house, and then updated his review to say the crew came the day after he complained and looked at it. Lili said Great Canadian arranged a crew for attic water issues and that Andrew and Nguyen gave professional suggestions. Brenda, Sandra and another customer praised the roofing side, with Eric named for a quick diagnosis from photos. Most of the reviews read are about roofs, so siding customers should ask to see siding projects specifically.
Great Canadian holds 4.5 from 238 Google reviews, read November 8, 2026. The website says the company is insured and licensed and shows a Siding Contractors Association of Alberta logo, but it does not explain membership, give a licence number or name its owners.
This company suits homeowners who want roofing, siding and eavestroughs from one established firm and who value a written workmanship warranty. It suits less well anyone who wants a small owner-run crew or weekend appointments. Before booking, ask for the warranty in writing, Great Canadian's Alberta WCB clearance letter and proof of liability insurance, and check the City of Edmonton business licence. Alberta has no provincial siding trade licence.

Great Canadian FAQs
Is Great Canadian licensed and insured for siding in Edmonton?
Its website says the company is insured and licensed, but it gives no licence number or insurer. Alberta has no provincial siding trade licence, so ask for the WCB clearance letter and proof of liability insurance, and check the City of Edmonton business licence. The site also advertises HAAG certified roof inspections and shows a Siding Contractors Association of Alberta logo without explaining membership.
What are Great Canadian's Edmonton hours, and does it do emergency work?
Google lists the Edmonton office as open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM, and closed on weekends. The website advertises 24 hour emergency roof repair for Calgary and its surrounding area, so confirm with the Edmonton office at +1 780-449-6991 before counting on after-hours help here.
Does Great Canadian install eavestroughs and leaf guards in Edmonton?
Yes. Great Canadian has an eavestroughing page covering small repairs, remodelling projects and major installations for residential and commercial buildings, and it says it will install a leaf guard when leaves or debris block the spouts. Customers get the manufacturer's warranty on the installed eavestroughing plus the company's own guarantee, and the site states a 5 year workmanship warranty on services. The page does not list trough sizes or materials, so ask for those in the written quote. Financing is offered through a partner lender on approved credit.
