Edina’s older neighborhoods are shaded by trees that were planted generations ago. If you drive through the Country Club District, Morningside, or White Oaks in October you’ll see why. Those maples and oaks are the reason the streets look picturesque, but, they’re also the reason your gutters are full!

When water pours over the front of the gutter during a rainstorm, the gutter is usually not broken. In most cases, the problem is a clogged downspout caused by wet leaves, and a simple cleaning or repair can solve it without replacing the entire gutter system.

Timing matters here more than in many parts of the country. Our first hard freeze typically arrives in early October, and anything left sitting in your gutters can freeze solid. A clogged gutter may seem like a small problem now, but once that water and debris freeze, it can lead to damage to your soffits and fascia. That’s why getting your gutters cleaned before the first freeze can save you from a much bigger repair later.

Gutter Leaf Removal

Gutter leaf removal is the majority of what we do from September through November. We work off ladders and by hand, not with a blower from the ground, so half the mess won’t scatter onto your roof and into the beds below. Leaves, seed pods, shingle grit, and pine needles will all be removed. We take the debris with us, and leave the gutter empty; then we run water through the whole line to confirm it drains completely.

Pressure Washing Gutters

While the inside of a gutter is “washed” by rain, the outside isn’t. Over a few Minnesota winters, road salt, roof runoff, and organic buildup leave dark vertical stripes down the face of white aluminum, what most people call tiger striping. Pressure washing gutters removes that film and brings the finish back. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution rather than blasting at high PSI, which can dent aluminum and force water behind the fascia board.

Seasonal Gutter Cleaning

Seasonal gutter cleaning means we come out on a schedule instead of waiting for a problem. Two visits cover most Edina properties: one in late spring after the maple seeds and cottonwood drop, one in late fall after the last leaves come down but before the ground freezes. Homes tucked under heavy oak cover (think the wooded lots off Interlachen or near Braemar Park) sometimes need a third pass in midsummer. We put you on the calendar, show up, send photos of the before and after, and you never have to think about it. No contract, and you can skip a season if you want to.

Storm Preparation Gutter Service

Straight-line winds and heavy summer downpours hit the west metro hard, and a full gutter has no room to move that water. Our storm preparation gutter service clears the system, checks that hangers and spikes are still tight, and confirms every downspout is pushing water away from the foundation before the weather arrives. It’s a short visit that keeps a rainy afternoon from turning into a wet basement.

Residential and Commercial Gutter Cleaning

Residential gutter cleaning is most of our schedule, but we also handle commercial gutter cleaning and commercial roof drainage cleaning for buildings around Southdale, Cahill, and the Edina industrial corridor. Flat and low-slope roofs need a different approach that a residential crew isn’t set up for. We clean scuppers, internal drains, and long runs of debris differently. 

What a gutter cleaning visit includes

We will carefully remove gutter debris by hand from top to bottom, clear clogged downspouts and accessible underground lines, and flush the gutters with water to make sure everything is flowing properly. We also clean the gutter bases and take a quick look at the seams, hangers, and fascia behind the gutters. If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll take photos and send them to you the same day.

How often should you clean gutters in Edina?

We recommend twice a year for most homes. Once a year is enough if you have very few trees. Four times a year could be necessary on a heavily wooded lot. If you’re on a ladder every six weeks, that’s usually the point where gutter guards make more financial sense than repeat cleanings.
