Our own crew cleans your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, haul-away included, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, once the seed drop and the last leaves are down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters, and we give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, and that gets you to a similar place, but it misses what the crew actually finds up top.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and changes the set-up. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the gutter line. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out packed with buildup, leaves and seed heads, and that takes time. A clean run takes minutes, and a packed one can take the rest of the visit. Clogged downspouts that have sat for years can also choke water flow and hide poor drainage, and a sagging run that holds water is how structural damage starts. Guards we have to lift and reseat add minutes to every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and that flush is what moves water away from your home. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent Chaska job the house sat on a lot with several mature trees, and the crew found a rain gutter run full of seeds and grit, with a clog at both ends. The price moved because the back run sat well above the patio, and the crew flushed each downspout until the water ran clear to the ground. Nothing on that job was a repair, and nothing was sold; the photos went to the homeowner the same afternoon. Any sag or a pulled hanger gets photographed and reported, and the fix is up to the homeowner. Where water was not moving freely through the line, the crew said so before the quote changed. Call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the house, or book a date, and we will give you the number before the crew comes out.

Downspouts flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled, photos of every run. The quote already has all of it in.
Our crew clears every gutter run by hand, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. Roof valleys and the area above the gutter line are blown clear first, so the next rain does not refill what was just emptied. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom; one that will not clear is worked from the top where it can be reached. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving at the outlet and tells you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Debris goes into bags and leaves with the truck. It is not blown onto the lawn, the deck or next door. The ground is left as it was found.
Before the crew leaves you get photos of every run and every downspout, before and after, on your phone, whether or not you were home. Anything the crew sees that is not a cleaning problem, a hanger pulled loose, a seam dripping, a run sitting flat, is photographed and reported, not repaired and not sold on the spot.
What can change the number, and you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice: a third story or a roof too steep to walk; gutters that have not been touched in years; guards that have to come off and go back on.
Twice a year for most houses: once after the spring seed and pollen drop, once after the last leaves fall.
Most of our Chaska customers book a gutter service twice a year, in spring and fall: once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves are down. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and that is when we open a gutter here and find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, the start of a clog. In the fall our visits run October to early November, and it is leaves and sediment packed in the trough that we find. On houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March. Freezing weather here turns trapped rainwater into ice at the eave, so the fall clean matters before the first hard freeze.
Under heavy tree cover, plan a visit every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the roofline outlets between visits. Near a busy road or construction, the same schedule applies to residential and commercial buildings alike. Few or no trees overhead means once a year in late fall is usually enough, and the debris removal happens on that same visit. Heavy rainfall here tends to land in May, June and August, so regular gutter cleaning before those months keeps the runs moving and keeps a blockage from forming. Guards change the job, not the need: we clear the surface and check the flow, but the gutter still has to be cleaned less often than an open system and the leaves still have to come out.
On one job with no trees overhead, the house is on the twice-a-year schedule and the late fall visit is the one that matters. On a second job under trees, the same kind of roofline needed a visit every three to four months, and the spring clean caught the blockage at the downspout before it reached the basement. Those are the two patterns we see most. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and if you want to clean your gutters on that same rhythm, we will set the dates.
Water over the edge rots the board behind the gutter first. Everything after that is slow, and slow is what a policy excludes.
The three signs. Water pouring over the front edge in rain instead of out of the downspout. A run that sags, sits low or has pulled away from the fascia. Plants growing out of the trough. Any one of them means the gutter is full.
What happens next. Water that cannot drain sits in the trough and spills behind it. The fascia board rots, then the soffit. Water backs up under the first course of shingles and shows up as a ceiling stain. Siding stains and swells. Below, the overflow cuts a channel at the foundation and finds the basement. The wet debris itself weighs enough to pull the gutter off the house. Standing water breeds mosquitoes; dry debris houses wasps. Where winters freeze, the trapped water becomes an ice dam at the eave and lifts the shingles from underneath.
Why your policy will not pay. Homeowners insurance generally does not cover water damage traced to clogged gutters. Carriers class gutter cleaning as routine maintenance, and damage from skipped maintenance as preventable neglect, which a standard policy excludes. A limb that tears a gutter off in a storm is sudden and accidental and is usually covered; a fascia board that rotted over two years is not. This is general information, not insurance advice; read your policy or ask your agent.
Guards stop leaves. They do not stop needles, seeds, grit or the paste they turn into. The job gets shorter, not gone.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often, and it is a different job: clearing what sits on top of the guard and checking that water is actually getting in, rather than scooping out the trough. Mesh and screen guards hold whole leaves off. Pine needles thread through, seed casings and pollen mat on top, roof grit settles underneath, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. The gutter is empty and the water never went in.
Guards earn their keep under big leafy trees and on roofs too high to want to climb. They do not end maintenance, whatever the installer said. Our crew lifts the panels, clears underneath, flushes the downspouts and reseats the guards; tell us what is on the house when you get the quote and it is priced as a guarded system, which usually runs shorter than an open one.
Under an hour on most houses. Nobody has to be there, and the photos arrive either way.
The crew calls the day before with an arrival window and again when they are on the way. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical home; bigger houses, steep roofs and gutters left for years run longer. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Before they arrive: side gate unlocked, cars off the driveway if runs face it, pets inside while ladders are up. Ladder stand-offs keep the ladder off the gutter lip and the siding. After: photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves, and an invoice that matches the quote.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. You hear what it is before anyone talks about money.
Still overflowing. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. If that happens after a cleaning, send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it actually is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Your house. Stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and screens and downspout extensions go back where they were.
Payment. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone. Some dates take a small booking fee to hold the slot, and you hear about it before you book.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Our crew cleans gutters across Chaska and works the neighborhoods where we have already been, so the drive is short and the crew knows the layouts. Booking is simple, and here is how to get your gutters on the schedule: you give us the stories, the square footage and whether there are trees overhead, and a photo of the house front by text helps if it is easy to send. Lead times depend on the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills, so book early if you can. Clear runs also keep a small problem from turning into a leak at the eave. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our crew can clean the gutters on residential properties, including the whole gutter system and every downspout, and we check where it drains so the water away from your home is moving freely. A twig or a seed head caught in an outlet is cleared by hand before the flush. A clean flush is how we protect your home from water damage, not just the visible leaves, before the fascia starts to rot. Chaska homes with heavy tree cover get the same routine, and repeat cleanings are booked on the same schedule. The same routine applies to commercial properties we are asked to quote. We also do gutter services for homeowners across the surrounding areas, and if you want us to keep your gutters on a schedule we will set that up at the first visit. Gutter guards need the same check, and the cleaning and maintenance visit keeps the surface clear whichever way you choose to run them.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not name a figure without knowing those two things. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Our customers here book in late spring after the seed drop and again in late fall after the leaves are down. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we often find the runs have sagged under ice by March. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date.
Same-day slots depend on the week. Our cleaning services in Chaska usually open up within the week, and when you call we confirm a date that works for your calendar and ours.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process works outside, the crew does not come inside, and the crew sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water leaves at the outlet. Where runoff comes out, we make sure it does not wash out the landscape beds along the foundation. Debris removal is part of the visit; clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but the needles, seed casings and grit still build up on top and can keep water from getting in. Gutter maintenance with guards means we clear the surface and check the flow every visit.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes, and we raise it before any work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
