Our own crew leaves your gutters clean, every gutter run flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of 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. We have been doing this work across MN for years, and most of our customers book in the spring and fall.
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 in the gutters on residential properties. Our cleaning services in Eagan get priced from those three things over the phone or by text, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the story count and the roofline do more of the work than the length of the run.
What moves the estimate on our jobs is what the crew finds once the ladder is up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and a clog like that takes longer than a light cleaning. A twig wedged in an elbow is a quick fix, but a packed run is not. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our experience shows the same pattern on most houses. A homeowner who calls for a quote gets asked three things: how many stories, roughly how big, and whether trees hang over the house. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us confirm the estimate before the crew is scheduled. From there the cleanings are straightforward, and most homeowners find the process easy to schedule around their calendar. We keep the gutter cleaning process simple so you know what you are paying for and when we will be there.
Gutter maintenance is cheaper over time than waiting for a leak, a sag or water pooling against the foundation. Heavy rainfall shows which gutters are clean and which are letting rainwater run over the edge, and a gutter that works keeps water running away from your home. A clean gutter line helps protect your home from water damage. Once you have seen a gutter that stays clean on a regular schedule, the cleaning and maintenance cost makes sense. To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with an estimate.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|

For context, nationally: Angi 2026, US average $168, most $119 to $234, $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot.
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 customers book twice a year: once in spring, which across Minnesota falls in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late October to November, so the gutters start winter clean. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and leaves and debris sit wet in the trough until the first hard freeze. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March, and a sagging run can lead to structural damage because the ice has been working on it all winter, while the fascia behind it can rot.
Under heavy tree cover, we are back on those houses every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and the gutter system stops moving water away from the house. A house with few or no trees can usually get by with one visit a year in late fall. Gutter guards change the schedule a little, since most of the load sits on the guard, but we still clean the surface and check the flow through the system. Commercial properties follow the same logic. Across Eagan the pattern is the same: the schedule follows the trees, the roofline and the landscape around the house, not a calendar.
Gutter cleaning services are most useful when they are timed to the seasons that actually drop material into the system. A rain gutter that is clean in early spring can be clogged with seed and grit by midsummer, and heavy rainfall in June, July and August pushes that debris down the line. A clog in an elbow can hold a rain gutter full for weeks, and clogged downspouts will not tell you until the water is coming off the eave at the wrong place. After the first visit we flush the run and tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, and we keep notes on the house so the next visit starts from what we found last time. The goal is to keep your gutters moving water before the first storm.
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 Eagan MN for residential and commercial clients, and books Eagan homes as soon as a date opens. We also take jobs in the surrounding areas. Booking with us is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we price the job from stories, size and tree cover. Lead time changes with the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows of the year: late spring and late fall, which is why we ask you to book early. Booking a gutter cleaning service is easiest to plan around those two windows, on residential properties and commercial buildings alike, and a regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps the calendar predictable for you. If a gutter starts to sag, or a clog or buildup slows the drainage and the water flow goes wrong between visits, call us and we will look at it as a service call, not wait for the next scheduled date. Debris removal is part of every visit. Clean your gutters on a schedule, and the spring and fall visits stay quick.
Your estimate for a two-story house in Eagan MN 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 those details. The number we give is the number on the invoice, and any change is raised before work starts.
Most of our customers book in late spring after the seed drop and in late fall after the leaves come down. Waiting past the fall visit is the part that costs people money, because runs that sag under ice by March are a repair question, not a cleaning one. Keeping them clean is how you protect your home from water damage.
Most of our gutter services book up within the week in Eagan and the surrounding areas, and we confirm the exact date when you call. We do not promise same-day service unless our calendar actually has an opening that day.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and 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 where the gutters and downspouts drain at the outlet. Clearing a buried underground line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves off the roofline, but a blockage forms when seeds, needles and grit sit on top of them and turn into a wet mat. We clear the surface, flush the outlets and check the flow through the system, so keep your gutters on a schedule anyway.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge in rain, the problem is usually the slope or the capacity, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video of it 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 crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before they start. We do not change the number on the invoice without that conversation first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
