Professional Seamless Gutter Installation

No More Water Damage Worries

Your foundation stays dry. Your landscaping stays intact. Your basement stays flood-free.

That’s what happens when gutters actually do their job. Most homeowners don’t realize how much damage failing gutters cause until it’s too late. Water finds every weakness, and Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles make small problems massive fast.

New gutter installation means you stop worrying about ice dams backing up into your roof. You stop watching water pool around your foundation during spring runoff. You stop dealing with the headache of emergency repairs when the next storm hits.

Our Gutter Installation Process

Straightforward Installation, No Surprises

First, we assess your current situation and measure everything precisely. We discuss material options, colors, and any specific concerns about water flow around your property.

Next, we remove old gutters if needed and prepare the fascia boards. We install seamless gutters cut to exact specifications, ensuring proper slope for drainage. All hangers and brackets are spaced correctly to handle snow loads.

Finally, we test the entire system to make sure water flows properly to downspouts and away from your foundation. We clean up completely and walk through everything with you so you know exactly what was done and how to maintain your new gutters.

Everything You Need for Proper Drainage

Your gutter installation includes seamless aluminum gutters custom-fit to your home’s exact measurements. We install heavy-duty hangers rated for Minnesota snow loads and position downspouts for optimal water flow away from your foundation.

We handle gutter guards if you want them, though we’ll give you honest advice about whether they make sense for your situation. If your fascia boards need repair or replacement, we take care of that too since we’re a full exterior contractor.

Color matching is included so your new gutters complement your existing trim and siding. We also provide proper drainage extensions and splash blocks to direct water completely away from your home’s foundation and landscaping.

How long does gutter installation typically take to complete?

Most residential gutter installations take one to two days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Simple ranch homes often get done in a single day, while larger two-story homes or houses with multiple roof lines usually require two days. Weather can affect timing since we won’t install gutters in rain or high winds. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. The actual installation moves quickly once we start, but we take time to ensure everything is properly measured, sloped, and secured.

What's the difference between seamless and sectional gutters?

Seamless gutters are formed from continuous pieces of aluminum cut to your home’s exact measurements, so there are no joints except at corners and downspouts. Sectional gutters come in standard lengths that get pieced together with connectors every 10-20 feet. Seamless gutters leak less because there are fewer joints where water can seep through. They also look cleaner and require less maintenance over time. The upfront cost is slightly higher, but most homeowners find seamless gutters worth the investment for reduced maintenance and better performance, especially in Minnesota’s harsh weather conditions.

Do new gutters come with any kind of warranty?

Yes, your gutter installation includes both material and workmanship warranties. The aluminum gutters themselves typically carry a 20-year manufacturer warranty against defects. Our installation work is warranted for two years, covering any issues with hangers, slope, or workmanship problems. Since we’re certified contractors with major manufacturers, you may qualify for enhanced warranty coverage depending on the materials chosen. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting your project. Keep your paperwork in a safe place and contact us immediately if you notice any problems with your gutters.

How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced or just repaired?

Replacement makes sense when you’re dealing with multiple problem areas, significant rust or corrosion, gutters pulling away from the house, or frequent clog and overflow issues. If you’re constantly cleaning gutters or making repairs, replacement often costs less long-term than ongoing maintenance. Gutters over 15-20 years old in Minnesota typically need replacement due to freeze-thaw damage and normal wear. However, newer gutters with isolated problems like a single damaged section or loose hanger can often be repaired effectively. We’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your specific situation and budget.

What size gutters do I need for my home?

Most residential homes use either 5-inch or 6-inch gutters, with 5-inch being standard for average-sized roofs. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or areas with heavy rainfall benefit from 6-inch gutters that handle more water volume. The downspouts also need to be sized appropriately – typically 2×3 inch for 5-inch gutters and 3×4 inch for 6-inch systems. We calculate the right size based on your roof’s square footage, pitch, and local rainfall data. Minnesota’s heavy spring runoff and sudden summer storms often make slightly larger gutters a smart investment. We’ll recommend the optimal size during our assessment of your specific home and roof configuration.

Can gutters be installed in winter or do I have to wait for spring?

Gutter installation can happen year-round in Minnesota as long as temperatures are above freezing and conditions are safe. We avoid installation during snow, ice, or high winds for obvious safety reasons. Winter installation actually has some advantages – you’re ready for spring snowmelt, and scheduling is often more flexible. However, extremely cold temperatures can make materials more brittle and harder to work with. Fall is typically the ideal time for gutter installation since you’re preparing for winter weather and avoiding the spring rush when everyone realizes their gutters failed. We’ll work with your timeline and let you know if weather conditions require rescheduling for safety or quality reasons.
