Gutters
Gutter Installation & Replacement in Minnetonka & the Twin Cities
Gutters that protect your home. Installed right. No chasing us for updates.
Your gutters are the drainage system for your entire roof. When they fail — through improper installation, age, or storm damage — the consequences go well beyond the gutters themselves: foundation damage, siding staining, basement moisture, and landscape erosion.

Our Approach
Gutters That Actually Do Their Job
Gutters are easy to overlook until they stop working. When they do, the damage rarely stays at the roofline — water finds your foundation, your siding, and your landscaping long before you realize there's a drainage problem.
We install gutter systems sized and pitched for your specific roofline, fastened to handle Minnesota's snow and ice load, and finished cleanly so they protect your home and look the part. If a repair is all you need, we'll say so.
Gutter Styles
Types of Gutters We Install
Seamless
Fabricated on-site to the exact length of your roofline so there are no joints between corners and downspouts. Fewer seams means fewer leak points and a cleaner look — the standard install for most Twin Cities homes.
K-Style
The most common profile in residential construction. A flat back sits flush against the fascia and the decorative front mimics crown molding. Holds more water volume than half-round at the same width.
Half-Round
A traditional rounded profile that suits historic, craftsman, and architectural homes. Slightly less capacity than K-style at the same width, but a cleaner, more classic line on the right home.
Gutter Guards
Add-on covers that reduce debris buildup and cleaning frequency. Meaningful upgrade for homes with significant tree coverage — we'll tell you honestly whether they're worth it on your home.

Materials
Gutter Materials Built for Minnesota Homes
The material your gutters are made from drives how they hold up to Minnesota's weather, debris load, and freeze-thaw cycles. Here's what we install and where each one makes sense.
Aluminum
The practical default for Minnesota homes. Aluminum doesn't rust, holds paint well through freeze-thaw cycles, and comes in a wide range of colors to match your trim. Cost-effective and durable for the vast majority of installs.
Steel
A heavier-duty option for homes in wooded areas where falling branches and heavy debris loads are a factor. More impact-resistant than aluminum and built to handle physical stress over time.
Copper
A premium architectural option for homes where visual detail matters. Copper develops a natural patina over time, never rusts, and lasts longer than any other gutter material. A strong choice for historic and high-end properties.
Investment

Climate
Why Gutters Matter More in Minnesota
Minnesota's snow loads, ice dams, and spring runoff put more stress on a gutter system than gentler climates ever do. Sizing, slope, and attachment all have to be right.
Snow and Ice Load
Heavy snow accumulation on gutters is a real structural concern. Improperly fastened gutters or gutters without adequate hanger spacing pull away from fascia under snow load. We install with proper hanger spacing and fascia attachment.
Ice Dams
Ice dams form when heat escaping through the roof melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave. Gutters filled with ice cannot drain. Proper slope reduces the damage ice dams cause.
Spring Runoff Volume
Spring snowmelt produces significant water volume in a short period. Undersized gutters, improper slope, or too few downspouts lead to overflow — sending water directly against your foundation.
Debris from Tree Coverage
The western Twin Cities suburbs have dense tree coverage. Proper gutter sizing, guard options, and downspout configuration all affect how your system performs through debris season.
