Gutter Installation Pricing in Minneapolis, MN
We can’t provide exact pricing online because every Minneapolis home is unique, but our team offers free, no-pressure consultations to give you an accurate quote.
Key factors that affect your quote: Home height and roof pitch (which determines safety equipment needs), material choice (aluminum vs copper), gutter size (5-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch), and whether fascia repairs are needed. Fascia condition is often the biggest variable—Minneapolis’ freeze-thaw cycles can take a toll, so we check this carefully during every inspection.
If you need old gutters removed, we’ll handle disposal too. Ready to get started? Schedule your free consultation today and we’ll provide a customized quote for your home.

Minneapolis’ Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
After working on Minneapolis gutters for years, we can tell you June through August is when undersized gutters cause the most trouble. Those afternoon downpours drop an inch in twenty minutes, and if your five-inch gutters can’t handle the volume, water sheets down walls and pools near foundations—especially problematic with our clay-heavy soil. Many older Twin Cities homes need capacity upgrades or protection systems to manage these sudden deluges.
Fall & Winter
The cottonwood and maple debris in October isn’t what concerns us most—it’s what happens when that debris sits wet through November and December. We’ve seen countless fascia boards rotted out on older Minneapolis homes because moisture just sat there all winter. Getting gutters cleaned in late October helps prevent this, or installing a system like LeafFilter that’s engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters in the first place.

Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Minneapolis receives an average annual precipitation of 30.6 inches, which means consistent rainfall throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your gutters are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home, it’s a clear sign you need new gutters. In Minneapolis, heavy spring rains and seasonal weather changes can contribute to gutter deterioration. Visible rust, cracks, or water damage near your foundation also indicate it’s time for replacement.
Aluminum is an excellent material for new gutter installations because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and long-lasting. In Minneapolis, aluminum gutters are well-suited for handling heavy rainfall and seasonal weather changes. LeafFilter installs aluminum K-Style gutters in 5″, 6″, and 7″ sizes, customized for your home.
Most professional gutter installations are completed in one day. However, installation time can vary depending on the size of your home and the complexity of your roof. Larger homes or properties with unique rooflines may require additional time to ensure proper installation.
LeafFilter uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters or select a new color that complements your Minneapolis home’s exterior. Our gutters are customized for your home to ensure a perfect fit and appearance.
The size of gutters depends on your home’s roof area and local weather conditions. In Minneapolis, 6-inch gutters are often recommended because they can handle the area’s heavy rainfall without overflowing, which helps protect your home from water damage.
Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance including cleaning and inspection to function properly. In Minneapolis, where autumn brings heavy leaf fall from maple and oak trees, most homeowners clean gutters at least twice yearly. However, pairing gutter installation with LeafFilter’s gutter guard system helps reduce maintenance needs by helping to prevent common debris from entering gutters.
Yes, gutters can be installed on virtually any roof type. Whether you have a steep Victorian roof, a low-slope ranch, or a complex multi-gable design, professional installers can adapt gutter systems to fit. In Minneapolis, where homes range from historic Craftsman bungalows to modern builds, local professionals have experience working with diverse architectural styles. They understand how Minnesota’s climate—with heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles—affects installation requirements for different roof pitches and materials. The key is proper mounting and positioning to help ensure effective drainage, regardless of your roof’s complexity or angle.
Gutters protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Minneapolis, where seasonal storms and heavy rainfall are common, gutters help prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and soil erosion. With Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles and over 30 inches of annual rainfall, properly functioning gutters are especially important for Minneapolis homeowners.
LeafFilter offers a lifetime transferable warranty on gutter installations. This warranty covers both the product and workmanship, providing Minneapolis homeowners with long-term protection for their gutter system.
Yes, LeafFilter removes and disposes of old gutters as part of the installation process. In Minneapolis, this often involves replacing worn systems damaged by the area’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and fall debris accumulation with durable gutter solutions designed to help protect your home year-round.
