Our own crew cleans gutters in Mounds View, flushing every downspout and flow-testing it, hauling the leaves away, and sending photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is 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 for spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf load have both come down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Searches for “cleaning services in mounds view” usually come down to one question: what will it cost? The price for gutter cleaning services across Mounds View depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is known, but the per-foot figure alone does not tell you what the crew will find on your roofline.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder and the visit takes longer. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold packed leaves and seed mats that have to be worked out by hand, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. A single clog at an elbow, or a twig jammed in the outlet, is quick to clear; one that has sat all season usually means the trough has sagged. The crew also checks drainage and water flow at the bottom of each downspout, and flags any buildup. A clean run takes less time, and the quote reflects that. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Mounds View homes all get the same check, and the conditions still vary a lot. On Mounds View houses with mature trees over the back run, we often find the gutter packed with seed casings and a leaf mat, the clogged downspouts at the elbow, and a section that has sagged from the weight. Clearing a run like that and flushing every downspout to confirm the water flow takes longer than a routine visit. Leaves and debris left in the trough for a season is what causes that sag, and a run that sags can leak at the joints, and that is how structural damage and fascia rot begin. Once a run sags, water away from the foundation stops being a given. That is why we check the slope on every run and photograph it, so you can see what we saw before we leave.
If you want a number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how big it is. Tell us too about any rain gutter that sags or spills, even one that looks clean from the ground. We will give you the price on the call, and we will tell you which runs need attention. Commercial properties are quoted per building and scheduled separately.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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.
Across Minnesota, most of our customers book two cleanings a year, in mid to late June after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October to November after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter here in June we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. A gutter that looks clean from the ground can still hold a season of seed casings and pollen. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March. Mounds View MN gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so a gutter that has not been cleared by June is working hard when the heavy rainfall starts. A gutter system carries rainwater off the roofline, and a clog anywhere in that path turns the rainwater into a blockage that spills over the edge. If you can only afford one visit a year, use it to clean your gutters in June, before the wet months.
Under heavy tree cover, two visits a year is not enough. Every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Regular gutter maintenance is what keeps that schedule short. Houses with few or no trees are usually fine with one cleaning a year in late fall. Houses near a busy road or active construction get the same frequent schedule as heavy tree cover, since the grit and dust settle into the trough quickly. Gutter guards slow the buildup but do not remove the need to clean, so we still clear the surface and check the flow.
Regular gutter cleaning follows the same spring and fall calendar for residential and commercial properties, and the interval is set by the lot, not the building type. Our gutter cleaning service sets the calendar for residential properties one lot at a time. The estimate for a regular visit, debris removal included, comes from the same three things as the first one: stories, size and cover. The phone number for booking is (866) 435-6328, and we will set the interval with you once we have seen the lot. After the first visit 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.

To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough square footage. We will give you the quote on the call and tell you how far out our calendar is, and that same call is how you get your gutters on the list. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every house: we call before we come and the work is done from outside, so nobody needs to be home. Two windows fill up fast every year, the spring visit and the fall visit, so if you want a particular week, that is the time to ask.
Keep your gutters clear and you protect your home from water damage later, and the cost of a single visit is small by comparison. Mounds View homeowners who keep up with it tend to avoid the costly repairs. We clean the gutters and downspouts and flush every downspout, then check that the water flow carries the rain well away from your home. Gutter guards keep out most leaves, but a twig or a seed mat still gets through, and a mat that holds water is how a gutter starts to leak, so cleanings stay on the calendar even with guards. The crew handles cleaning and maintenance on the same visit, and every gutter we clean is photographed so you can see the clean result on your phone. If you searched “mounds view mn” for a gutter company and have questions before booking, call (866) 435-6328 and we will answer them plainly.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage, what is in the gutters and what kind of gutter maintenance the house needs. Text a photo of the house and tell us those things, and we will quote it on the phone; the number we quote is the number on the invoice. We offer cleaning services in Mounds View MN for homes and commercial buildings.
Across Minnesota, our customers book in mid to late June, ahead of the heavy rainfall, and again in late October to November. If you skip that fall visit, gutters across Mounds View go into a freezing winter full, and runs that sag by March are common. A sagged run that holds water is how fascia rot starts.
To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328; most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date on the call.
No. The gutter cleaning process is outside work, and our crew does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check that the water leaves the bottom and runs away from your home. If a downspout drains into an underground line or a bed in the landscape, we check the outlet; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we start.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep out the leaves but let the seed casings, needles and grit settle on top, so the gutters still need cleaning and maintenance: we lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still spills in rain has a slope or downspout problem, not a blockage problem. Send us 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 we find something that changes the job, and we raise it with you before work starts. Otherwise the quote holds, because the fees we quote are the fees we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
