Gutter Installation in Minneapolis, MN

It depends on the roof area, the pitch and how many downspouts the run has. Many houses do fine with 5-inch gutters, while large or steep roofs often need 6-inch gutters and bigger downspouts. We size them during the inspection.

Seamless gutters are formed on site in one continuous piece for each eave, instead of being joined from short sections. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak. Seams only appear at inside and outside corners.

They help most on houses with trees overhead, where gutters clog every season. Guards cut down on cleaning, but they don't make gutters maintenance-free, and some styles shed water over the edge in heavy rain. We'll talk through which style fits your roof and trees.

Often, yes. Leaking seams, loose hangers, sagging sections and bad pitch can usually be fixed. When the gutters are badly bent, rusted through or fastened to rotted fascia, replacement is usually the better use of your money.

Away from the house, onto ground that slopes away from the foundation. Extensions or buried drain lines should carry water several feet out. Water dropped right at the foundation tends to end up in the basement.

Gutters hang from the fascia board. If it's soft or rotted, hangers pull loose and the gutter sags or falls. We check the fascia and soffit before installing and replace damaged sections first.

Damage from a sudden event, such as hail, wind or a fallen branch, is often covered. Wear, rust and clogged gutters usually are not. Your policy and adjuster decide. We inspect the gutters, photograph the damage and write a repair scope you can share with them. We don't negotiate claims or act as a public adjuster; we document the damage and do the repair work.
