Our own crew cleans gutters in Edina, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves and grit hauled off, 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 roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book a visit in the spring and another in the 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 sitting in your gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though we find the per-run approach harder to check against what the crew actually finds on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves and grit, and guards we have to lift and reseat before the gutter underneath can be cleared. Flushing every downspout, flow testing the run and hauling the mess away are part of the number from the start, and the gutter is left clean. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear it before any work begins, never on the invoice.
On our Edina jobs, the clog we see most is a run that has been sagging for a season, where the buildup at the low point has turned into a dam and the water backs up behind it. That kind of sag gets worse every rain, so the sooner it is cleared the less it costs to fix the drainage afterward. Several Edina homes we see have the same story: the gutter looked fine from the driveway, but the downspout was blocked at the elbow and a slow leak had been running down the siding for months. A clogged downspout is usually behind these. The debris removal is included, and we flush the line until we can see clean water flow out the bottom. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the trough clean and keeps that from happening, which is why most customers here book on a set schedule rather than waiting for a problem. Residential properties and commercial properties both get the same flush-and-check routine, and we walk you through what we find when we finish. If you want a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate for the visit.

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 two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is the simplest way to clean your gutters before the seasons turn. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and on our jobs it catches the seeds and pollen paste that pack the elbows. The fall visit, late October to November, clears the leaves before the first freeze, which is when rainwater has nowhere to go and a clog turns into ice. When we open a gutter at the spring visit we find seed casings packed to the elbow, and in November we find a wet leaf mat two inches deep on houses that have not had a fall visit. On those houses we have seen runs sag by March under the weight of ice, which is structural damage and a bigger job than a cleaning.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what our customers here settle on, because needles and grit pack a downspout faster than a spring and fall schedule can keep up with. A lot with few or no trees usually does fine with one visit a year in late fall. Gutters with guards still need the surface cleared, and we do that less often, though the leaves and debris underneath still need checking. The point of the calendar is to protect your home from water damage, so it is worth matching the schedule to your landscape and not to a rule of thumb. Our crew has cleaned gutters and downspouts across Edina mn and the surrounding areas, and we see the same pattern in every neighborhood: the trees decide the schedule. We also offer gutter services and gutter maintenance for any building that needs a different routine, and we are happy to talk through how to keep your gutters running clear. Every visit ends with clean gutters, and after the first one we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 works across Edina and covers the whole city from the nearest base, so you will not need to be in a particular neighborhood for us to come out. We handle residential and commercial jobs from that same base. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. A single twig jammed in an elbow can hold back a whole run, so mention any overhanging trees when you book. If you have gutter guards, say so too, since the lift and reseat change the work. If it is easy, send a photo of the front of the house too, since a clear picture of the roofline usually tells us what the lot needs before we arrive. We confirm the window when you book and call before we come, so nobody needs to be home.
The calendar fills fastest in late spring and again in late fall, when the seeds and the leaves are at their worst. If you can, book before those windows open up. Some slots come up within the week, and the lead time we give you on the phone is the real one. For a homeowner who wants the gutter cleaning process explained before the crew arrives, we are glad to walk through each step, from the first clean run to the last. Keeping your gutters clean keeps the rainwater moving away from your home, which matters most during heavy rainfall. Get your gutters on a schedule that fits how fast your lot fills with leaves and needles, and the cleaning and maintenance stays simple. Several Edina homeowners have asked us for a regular visit once a year, and that works for most lots with little tree cover. An Edina gutter cleaning is booked the same way, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will set a date.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing those two things, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. In spring we clear the seeds and pollen, and in fall the leaves before the first freeze, since a blockage left into winter is where ice dams and fascia rot start on our jobs.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day visits depend on whether a crew is free that day, so ask us when you book.
No. 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 watch the water come out the bottom, since the goal is to get water away from the foundation. Water backs up at the eave when clogged downspouts cannot empty the trough, so we flush them and watch the flow. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. Guards hold the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and can turn into a wet mat that sends water over the edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
If a rain gutter that is clean still spills over in the rain, it usually has a slope or downspout-size problem rather than leftover grit. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to 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.
