The Toronto greater metropolitan area has its own ecosystem when it comes to gutters, soffits and fascias. All the companies that operate in this area are managed in different ways. This, in turn, allows for a multitude of options for homeowners who have the difficult task of finding the solution best suited to their needs. Patrick Pecoraro, founder and owner of Blackstar Aluminum, has been part of this reality since the company’s inception in 2003. “It’s up to our experts and I to raise clients’ awareness about gutter systems and warranties offered on the market.” He has seen too many people doing business with companies that had no insurance and which offered no warranty, leaving them high and dry when their gutters broke.

Blackstar Aluminum has a solid foundation: experienced employees, insurance, warranties, trusted vendors and attention to detail. “You can always find something cheaper elsewhere, but you never actually know where this price difference comes from,” says Mr. Pecoraro. His company installs quality products like the T-Rex continuous hanger and he’s proud to offer the best products on the market, even in such a traditional sector as the gutter industry. Additionally, it’s not unusual to see the company founder on site late in the day inspecting the work performed by his team in order to ensure that the site was left in the same condition as it was upon arrival. Blackstar Aluminum’s rigor and discipline allow the Toronto-based leader to be the best in the industry.





Patrick Pecoraro’s open-minded approach has always set him apart, embracing new ideas and elevating standards in the industry. As he recalls, “We were all wondering what these French-speaking guys from Québec, who could barely line up a few words in English, were doing in the jungle of Toronto. We quickly realized when they showed us the ‘Fixa-tech’ (now the T-Rex) in 2005.” What followed was a turning point for Blackstar Aluminum — the introduction of a continuous hanger system that eliminated the need for nails while also functioning as a gutter guard. It was a revolutionary product brought forward by the Brochu brothers, and it quickly became a defining part of the company’s installations. Even after 13 years, the first client on Allanhurst Street remained fully satisfied, a testament to the durability and precision of that early work.
Today, that same commitment to innovation and excellence has earned Blackstar Aluminum recognition as an Alu-Rex Master Installer — part of a highly selective group of just 14 installers at a single Master level. 🏆 This distinction represents more than experience; it reflects leadership, consistency, and a dedication to doing things right, every time. These installers don’t just work with Alu-Rex products — they install them to the highest standard in the field, representing the brand at its absolute best.

In addition to the services it provides for the installation of the super strong seamless T-Rex gutter, as well as for soffits and fascias, Blackstar Aluminum also installs vinyl and aluminum exterior siding in Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Mississauga, Brampton and York.
