Why It’s Hard to Find Contractors in Peak Season (And How to Avoid Delays)

Summer is the busiest time of year for construction in Edmonton and the greater region. As soon as the snow melts, builders are in full swing, trying to push projects through before the next cold season. The problem? Finding reliable contractors—especially for exterior finishing—gets tougher every year.

If you’re planning a summer build, the time to lock in your eavestrough and rainwater management contractor is now. Here’s why:

1. High Demand, Limited Supply

From May through October, exterior contractors are booked solid. The best teams get locked into projects months in advance, leaving last-minute bookings scrambling for availability. If you wait too long, you’ll be choosing from whoever’s left—and that’s not always the team you want.

2. Siding Companies Are Swamped Too—Cut Out the Middleman

Many builders rely on their siding companies to subcontract eavestrough installation. But when the siding crews are backed up, eavestroughs get delayed too. Why not go straight to the source?

At Splashdown Exteriors, we work directly with home builders, ensuring your project stays on schedule without waiting on another contractor’s timeline. This means:

• Faster turnaround times.
• Better communication on job site scheduling.
• Expertise in rainwater management solutions tailored to your build.

3. Rainwater Management Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought

Proper drainage isn’t just about slapping on a set of eavestroughs at the last minute. Poorly planned rainwater management can lead to:
✅ Water pooling near the foundation.
✅ Basement leaks & moisture issues.
✅ Landscaping erosion.
✅ Ice hazards in winter due to improper drainage.

By working with us early in the build, we help ensure that downspouts and rainwater leaders are placed strategically for proper drainage—rather than being forced into a bad design because it’s too late to change things.

4. Efficiency Matters: We Know Construction Timelines

We’ve worked alongside home builders for years, and we know how critical it is to stay on schedule. With Splashdown Exteriors, you’re getting:
✅ Reliable scheduling—we show up when we say we will.
✅ Efficient installation—soffit, fascia, and eavestroughs done right the first time.
✅ Solutions for tricky rooflines—our team knows how to manage custom builds and complex drainage needs.

5. Get It Done Before the First Big Rainstorm

Spring and early summer storms test your home’s exterior drainage system. If eavestroughs and downspouts aren’t installed before the first heavy rainfall, you risk flooding, foundation issues, or a muddy mess around the build. Don’t leave it until the last minute—book ahead so your project is protected.
