6 Best Gutter Companies in Minneapolis, MN (2026 Guide)

Minneapolis gutters span every vintage of Twin Cities housing. The 1900–1930s Craftsmans, four-squares, and Tudors of South Minneapolis went up with built-in box gutters integrated into the rooflines — many of which have since been retrofitted with hung K-style aluminum that’s now 25–40 years old. The 1940s-1960s Cape Cods and ramblers of Northeast and Longfellow are on their second or third gutter set. The 1990s-2010s tract additions on the city’s edges are reaching their first replacement window. Add Minneapolis’s mature canopy — particularly heavy near the lakes (Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska, Harriet, Nokomis) — and clogging is constant. The good news: modern seamless aluminum or steel gutters with the right cover system, sized correctly to the roof, last 20+ years and protect everything below them — fascia, soffit, siding, and (most expensive of all) the foundation.

This guide is written by the Owl Roofing team — a Shoreview-based, family-owned home exterior contractor serving Minneapolis from 25 minutes northeast. Gutters are a newer service line for us, and Minneapolis specifically has stronger urban-specialist contractors than the suburbs we cover. We’re listed in our honest ranking position below — at the bottom, not the top.

1. ABC Seamless of the Twin Cities

Best for: Minneapolis Craftsmans and Cape Cods that ice dam every winter and need gutters tough enough to handle it.

ABC Seamless is the longest-running seamless-gutter brand in the country, and the Twin Cities dealer serves Minneapolis as core territory. Where almost everyone else installs aluminum, ABC’s signature product is heavy-gauge seamless steel — fabricated on a truck-mounted machine right at your house in one continuous run. Steel handles ladder dings, ice loads, and falling branches in ways aluminum can’t. For Minneapolis Craftsman bungalows with low overhangs and historic ice dam patterns, steel is the durable answer.

Watch for: Steel gutters cost roughly 30–50% more than aluminum upfront. The math typically pays back in life span (40+ years vs. 20–25 for aluminum), but if you plan to sell within 5–7 years, aluminum may be the better economic call.

2. Minnesota Leafless Gutters

Best for: Minneapolis lots near the lakes (Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska, Harriet, Nokomis) where mature canopy is the daily problem.

Minnesota Leafless Gutters specializes in seamless aluminum gutters paired with their proprietary “leafless” cover system. They serve Minneapolis and the broader Twin Cities and have built their reputation on the cover detail — the place where most gutter systems fail in heavily wooded yards. Minneapolis’s heaviest tree canopy runs along the Chain of Lakes and through Linden Hills, where the cover system matters more than the gutter itself.

Watch for: Proprietary cover systems mean replacement parts come from one supplier. Confirm warranty terms in writing.

3. Lindus Construction

Best for: Minneapolis homeowners running gutters alongside siding, roofing, or windows.

Lindus has been operating in the Twin Cities since the late 1970s and is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. They install seamless aluminum gutters, K-style and half-round profiles, and pair gutter installations with their roofing, siding, and insulation work. For Minneapolis projects where the gutters are coming off because the roof or siding is being replaced — extremely common on century-old homes — Lindus is one of the most experienced multi-trade operators in the metro.

Watch for: Multi-service operators sometimes have less daily volume in any one trade than a focused gutter specialist.

4. LeafFilter

Best for: Pure gutter-guard installs over existing gutters that are still structurally sound.

LeafFilter is a national company with a heavy Twin Cities presence. Their stainless steel micro-mesh sits on top of existing gutters and prevents debris from getting in. If your current gutters are intact and you want guards installed without replacing the whole system, LeafFilter is purpose-built for that job. They run a transferable lifetime warranty, which can be a meaningful resale-value note.

Watch for: National operators rely on regional sales teams. Pricing is sometimes negotiable when you compare against a second quote — always get one.

5. Gutter Helmet of Minnesota

Best for: Homeowners who specifically want the reverse-curve cover system.

Gutter Helmet’s reverse-curve design has been on the market for decades and is one of the most recognizable gutter cover systems in the country. The Minnesota franchisee installs Gutter Helmet on existing or new gutters across the Twin Cities, including Minneapolis.

Watch for: Reverse-curve covers can struggle with sustained heavy rain runoff during severe storms. Sizing matters — make sure the installer specs the right downspout capacity.

6. Owl Roofing — Suburban Multi-Service Contractor Serving Minneapolis

Best for: Minneapolis homeowners replacing their roof and gutters as a single project.

Owl Roofing is based at 1000 County Road E West Ste 135 in Shoreview — a 25-minute drive northeast of Minneapolis. We’re family-owned, BBB Accredited, GAF Systems Plus Certified for roofing, Minnesota-licensed and insured.

We’ll be straight with you: we are newer to gutters than the five companies above, and we’re a suburban roofing company adding gutters as a service line. If your project is gutters-only, ABC Seamless or Minnesota Leafless will likely give you a sharper quote. We earn the spot here when the roof is being replaced and the gutters are coming off anyway — running them as one project means tighter coordination, one warranty contact, and one project manager. Every Owl install, including gutters, is backed by our Get it Right Guarantee — a 10-year workmanship warranty.

What Owl Roofing Customers Actually Say

Real, verified Google reviews from real customers. Owl Roofing maintains a 5.0 Google rating with 30+ five-star reviews.

We used Owl Roofing for a repair on our roof in Brooklyn Park, and I was blown away by how good they were. Every member of the team communicated well about the process. Their price transparency was super helpful. They got the work done very fast for us.

— Matt Brown, Brooklyn Park (verified Google review)

Noah is the real deal. After our insurance denied our roof claim and the first roofer walked away, Noah showed up the next day and said he thought he could get us a new roof. He delivered. We came up with a nickname for him: “The Roof Whisperer.”

— Tyler Moberg, verified Google review

I am an Independent Insurance Agency owner and have worked with Noah on several roof projects. The homeowners have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the work and craftsmanship Noah and his crews have provided.

— Fred Zappa, Independent Insurance Agency Owner

It didn’t feel like dealing with a big company — it felt like working with people who actually care about the homes and community in the North Oaks and Shoreview area.

— Cody Warren, verified Google review

Noah and his team are outstanding! His clear communication, professionalism, and workmanship are top-notch. I recommend Owl Roofing to all my clients, friends, and family.

How to Choose a Gutter Company in Minneapolis

Insist on seamless aluminum or steel — not sectional. Sectional gutter kits sold at big-box stores have a seam every 10 feet, and every seam is a future leak. Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site in continuous runs from a single coil and only seam at corners and downspouts.

Match the profile to the architecture. Half-round copper or galvanized fits a Tudor or Craftsman elevation in ways K-style aluminum doesn’t. Some Minneapolis historic homes look right only in half-round; others are fine with K-style. Bring photos and discuss with your installer.

Get the workmanship warranty in writing. Manufacturer warranties cover the gutter material. Workmanship warranties cover the install — including hanger spacing, pitch, and downspout placement. Owl Roofing’s Get it Right Guarantee is 10 years.

Verify the Minnesota license. Confirm via the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry license lookup before signing. Owl Roofing’s MN license is BC809662.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do gutters cost in Minneapolis?

For a typical Minneapolis home, full gutter replacement runs $1,800–$5,000 depending on linear footage, gutter material, and downspout count. Half-round copper or galvanized for historic homes runs higher — often $20–$40 per linear foot installed. Adding gutter guards typically adds $8–$15 per linear foot.

Are gutter guards worth it on Minneapolis homes near the lakes?

For lots near the Chain of Lakes, Lake Nokomis, or Loring Park where mature trees dominate, almost always yes. The math works out within 4–6 years versus the cost of professional cleaning twice annually.

Should I replace my gutters when I replace my roof?

Usually yes — particularly on Minneapolis’s century-old homes where the original built-in gutters or hung K-style have been retrofitted multiple times. Bundling roof and gutter replacement saves on tear-off labor and ensures the drip edge and gutter pitch line up cleanly.

Can I bundle gutters with siding, roofing, or windows in Minneapolis?

Yes — bundling typically saves on flashing transitions, fascia repair, and trim coordination. See our Best Window Installers in Minneapolis and Best Siding Contractors in Minneapolis guides for the rest of the picture.
