Before the leaves freeze in there
Gutter Cleaning in St. Paul
Troughs and downspouts cleared by hand and flushed, so winter meltwater runs off your roof instead of backing up under it.
The Cheapest Repair You Will Ever Do
Gutter cleaning is not interesting work and nobody looks forward to booking it. It is also the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid a genuinely expensive winter, because in a climate like this one a blocked gutter does not just overflow. It freezes, and then it decides where the meltwater goes.
We are a Saint Paul business, based on Cretin Avenue, and we clear gutters across the city from September through freeze-up. Starting at $120, debris hauled away, and you do not pay until it is done.
Why It Matters More Here
Minnesota puts gutters through something a milder climate does not.
Ice dams start in a full gutter
This is the one that costs real money in St. Paul. A gutter packed with wet leaves freezes solid, meltwater backs up under the shingles, and you find out in February when a ceiling stains. Clearing them in late fall is far cheaper than what an ice dam does.
Two seasons, not one
The boulevard maples drop helicopter seeds in June and they pack a trough as tightly as leaves do. Oaks hang on until November. A lot of St. Paul houses genuinely need it twice: once after the seeds, once after the leaves.
Old roofs, original gutters
Steep pitches, three-storey Victorians, and original half-round gutters are normal here. We work off ladders with standoffs so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and we know which old seams to leave alone rather than pull apart.
What a Cleaning Includes
Every gutter job, no line-item surprises.
- Leaves, seeds, grit, and shingle sand cleared out of the troughs by hand
- Downspouts checked and cleared, not just the gutter above them
- Everything flushed with water so we can see it actually runs
- Debris bagged and taken away, not left on your lawn
- A look at loose hangers, separated seams, and spouts draining at the foundation
- Photos if anything needs your attention
What a Blocked Gutter Actually Costs
The bill never arrives as a gutter bill.
Foundation and basement
An overflowing gutter dumps water straight down against the wall. In a neighborhood of hundred-year-old limestone and block basements, that shows up as seepage.
Fascia and soffit
Water sitting in a clogged trough wicks back into the wood behind it. Rotten fascia is a carpentry bill, not a cleaning bill.
The gutter itself
A trough full of soaked debris is heavy. That weight pulls hangers loose and opens seams, which is how a cleaning turns into a replacement.
