7 Best Gutter Companies in White Bear Lake, MN (2026 Guide)
10min Read
Posted 4.19.2026
Bad gutters are the most expensive small problem in a White Bear Lake home. They look fine until they’re not, and by the time you notice — fascia rotting, basement water seeping in after spring melt, ice dams ripping shingles in February — the repair bill is several thousand dollars more than the original gutter job would have cost. WBL’s mature trees and lakeside humidity make this region particularly hard on residential gutters. Most homes built before 2005 are running on undersized 5-inch sectional gutters that were never sized for the roof areas they’re handling. The fix is straightforward: seamless 6-inch gutters with proper downspout sizing, installed by a contractor who knows what slope, hangers, and overflow detail look like in this climate.
This guide is from the Owl Roofing team — a Shoreview-based, family-owned home exterior contractor serving White Bear Lake from 15 minutes south. We’re known for roofing and siding, and we’ve recently expanded into gutter installation. We’re listed in our honest spot below — toward the bottom, because we’re new to gutters specifically, even though we know the rest of your roof envelope better than most companies on this list.
How We Ranked WBL Gutter Companies
We pulled BBB profiles, Google review aggregates, and verified service-area listings for every gutter contractor active in WBL ZIP codes 55110 and 55115. To make the list, a company had to clear three minimums:
- Active BBB profile — accredited where possible, with no unresolved complaints in the last 12 months
- Seamless aluminum or steel gutter installation as a primary service, not an upsell
- Verified review base — minimum 25 Google reviews with a 4.5-star or better aggregate, or comparable BBB and Houzz reviews
Companies were not ranked by paid placement. Owl Roofing is honestly listed in the lower half of this guide because we’re newer to gutters than the dedicated specialists above. We compete on the same hometown, communicative process our existing customers describe — but if you want a pure-play gutter specialist with a 30+ year track record, the companies above us are a better match.
Comparison Grid: WBL Gutter Companies at a Glance

1. ABC Seamless / Twin City Exteriors
Best for: Heavy-duty seamless steel gutters that outlast aluminum.
ABC Seamless / Twin City Exteriors is family-owned and has been installing seamless gutters across the Twin Cities since 1978 — nearly 50 years of operating history. They hold an A+ BBB rating and operate from Maple Grove with crews that work the entire metro including WBL. Their differentiator is steel: most contractors install aluminum, but ABC Seamless’s signature product is heavy-gauge seamless steel gutter, which lasts longer and resists denting from ladders and falling branches.
Watch for: Steel gutters cost 30–50% more than aluminum. For tight budgets, the aluminum-focused contractors below offer better square-foot value.
2. JTR Roofing, Inc.
Best for: Combined roof + gutter projects under one contractor.
JTR Roofing is an A+ BBB-rated contractor with strong concentration on the WBL/Shoreview area — they’ve been doing seamless gutters here for several years and pair gutter work with roofing under a single bid. If your roof is also at end of life, having one contractor handle both means the gutters come down once, the roof gets done, and the new gutters go up clean — no double-charge for tear-off and re-hang.
Watch for: JTR’s strongest offering is the roof + gutter combo. For gutter-only jobs, the gutter-specialized contractors below may schedule faster.
3. Rain Master Seamless Gutters
Best for: Homeowners who weigh warranty length heavily.
Rain Master is a Twin Cities seamless gutter specialist offering a 100% lifetime warranty on their installs. Lifetime warranties always have exclusions, but Rain Master’s reputation in the WBL-and-suburbs area is for honoring service callbacks well into the warranty period. They focus on seamless aluminum at competitive pricing.
Watch for: Lifetime warranties typically cover material and seam integrity but not damage from ice dams, fallen branches, or fascia rot. Read the warranty document carefully.
4. Call the Gutter Guys
Best for: Homes with unusual roofs, tight valleys, or custom configurations.
Call the Gutter Guys has installed thousands of seamless gutter systems across the metro. Their differentiator is on-site custom fabrication — every run is rolled to length on the truck, which means complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or non-90-degree corners get a clean fit instead of awkward seam patches. For older lakefront WBL homes with multi-level rooflines, this is the right call.
Watch for: On-site fabrication adds modest cost vs. pre-cut runs.
5. Big Mike’s Gutters
Best for: Tree-heavy lots where leaf protection is a top priority.
Big Mike’s installs seamless gutters with a focus on adding gutter guards as part of the same install. WBL has a lot of mature oak, maple, and birch — meaning if you don’t have leaf protection, you’re cleaning gutters at least twice a year. Big Mike’s bundles gutter and gutter-guard installation cleanly and offers repair work for existing systems.
Watch for: Gutter guards pay off most on heavily-treed lots. For homes with minimal tree cover, the premium may not pencil.
6. Everest Seamless Gutters
Best for: Mid-size standard installs where reliability and a competitive bid matter.
Everest installs seamless aluminum gutters across WBL and surrounding communities. They focus on lasting protection and quality craftsmanship without specialty add-ons — making them a solid second-quote contractor when you want apples-to-apples comparison against the bigger names.
Watch for: Smaller specialty installers tend to have less crew capacity. Confirm available start dates early if your schedule is tight.
7. Owl Roofing — Now Offering Seamless Gutters in WBL
Best for: WBL homeowners coordinating gutters with roofing or siding under one contractor.
Owl Roofing is based in Shoreview — 15 minutes south of WBL — at 1000 County Road E West Ste 135. We’re family-owned, BBB Accredited, GAF Systems Plus Certified for our roofing work, Minnesota-licensed and insured, and active in the local Chamber of Commerce. Our 5.0 Google rating across 30+ verified reviews comes from Shoreview, North Oaks, Roseville, and the surrounding suburbs we live in — including WBL. We recently expanded into gutter installation as a natural extension of our roofing work.
We’ll be honest: we are newer to gutters specifically than the six companies above. What we bring is the calm, communicative process our existing customers describe — and a single point of contact when your gutter project is part of a roof or siding job. Every Owl install, including gutters, is backed by our Get it Right Guarantee — a 10-year workmanship warranty. Because we know roofs in detail, we also catch fascia rot and ice-dam-prone roof transitions during gutter consultations that gutter-only specialists sometimes miss.
Be aware: Our gutter-only install volume is lower than the dedicated specialists above. If completed gutter-specific job count is your top criterion, the companies above will have more reference homes to show.

How to Choose a Gutter Company in WBL
Most WBL homeowners interview two or three gutter installers before signing. A few criteria matter more than they look:
Insist on seamless, not sectional. Sectional gutters have factory-cut joints every 10 feet, and every joint is a future leak. Seamless gutters are extruded continuously on-site to your roof’s exact dimensions — no joints, no leaks, dramatically longer service life.
Specify 6-inch gutters and 3×4 downspouts. The default 5-inch / 2×3 configuration is undersized for most WBL rooflines, especially 2-story or steep-pitched homes. Stepping up handles ~40% more water — meaningful when half a foot of snow melts in a day.
Ask about hangers and slope. The right hangers matter more than the gutter brand. Hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails (not just fascia) hold up under ice loads. Slope should be ¼ inch per 10 feet.
Add gutter guards if you’re under tree canopy. A high-quality micromesh gutter guard pays for itself in 2–3 years on heavily-treed WBL lots. EPA stormwater guidance also recommends keeping gutter discharge well away from foundations.
Verify the Minnesota license. Confirm via the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry license lookup. Owl Roofing’s license is BC809662.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does new gutter installation cost in WBL?
For a typical WBL home, full seamless gutter replacement runs $1,800–$5,500 depending on linear footage, material, and downspout count. Aluminum runs $7–$13 per linear foot installed; seamless steel runs $12–$20. Add $4–$10 per foot for gutter guards. Most single-family WBL homes have 150–225 linear feet of gutters.
Are seamless gutters worth the extra cost over sectional?
Yes, for almost every WBL homeowner. Sectional gutters cost roughly 20% less but the joints leak within 5–10 years, leading to fascia rot and foundation issues. Seamless aluminum installed correctly should last 20+ years with no leaks.
Should I get gutter guards in WBL?
If your home has significant tree canopy — common in older WBL neighborhoods around the lake — yes. High-quality micromesh guards (LeafFilter, Gutter Helmet, MasterShield) keep leaves and pine needles out and meaningfully reduce ice dam risk.
Can I bundle gutters with roofing, siding, or windows?
Yes, and bundling gutters with a roof replacement is one of the highest-ROI moves. The gutters have to come off for a roof tear-off anyway — having one contractor handle both means the gutters get tear-off-replaced rather than tear-off-and-re-hang.
