Gutters & Downspouts

Gutters and Downspouts Installation in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN

Minnesota Exteriors has years of experience in installing seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts. Our trained water diversion technicians will factor in the roof line, aesthetics and the roof’s area to design a water diversion system appropriate for your home. We understand that if not done properly, a faulty gutter system will create problems for homeowners later on. These include overflowing gutters, damage to fascia and leaks in your basement.

When doing home remodeling and home improvement projects, rain gutters, downspouts and proper drainage are usually not hot topics. However if your gutter system is failing, you RISK:

• Water being channeled behind your siding, causing major wood rot.
• Water backing up beneath your roofing system, causing leaks and expensive sheet rock repair.
• Erosion of landscaping
• Water getting inside or under your home, causing mold and mildew to flourish.

A properly functioning gutter system should:

• Keep rainwater away from entry ways.
• Channel water away from your foundation.
• Add to the beauty of your home.

Getting Estimates and Pointers

We have heard from many clients who have experienced high pressure tactics from some companies. These include gimmicks to get you to sign up with them today. Don’t fall for this. There is no rush. Some companies will even say that you don’t have to be home when they do the estimate. Not so. We recommend that at least one of you is at least present to point out problem areas to the rain gutter estimator so that he or she can factor that into the estimate. Good estimators can correct for those problems and design a system that addresses your concerns and places downspouts in the best places.

A good estimator will also point out damage to wooden fascia and give you a ball park estimate of what will cost to replace it.
