Professional gutter cleaning built for Minnesota winters.
FCR Cleaning provides professional gutter cleaning across the Twin Cities metro — Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Edina, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and 25+ additional suburbs. Our process covers the full gutter run — every leaf, twig, shingle grit, and compacted debris mass comes out, followed by a complete flush of the gutters and every downspout to prove water flows. Everything gets bagged and left neatly wherever you'd like it on your property.
Once the gutters are cleared, we flush the entire system with water to confirm proper flow. Every downspout gets checked and cleared — we physically verify water exits at the base. We flag sagging sections, loose spike hangers, cracked seams, and disconnected joints so you know what needs attention before winter.
In Minnesota, the stakes are higher than most places. Clogged gutters heading into November are the single most common cause of ice dams. When gutters are full, snow melt from your warm roof has nowhere to drain — it refreezes at the cold eave, lifts shingles, and forces water into your attic. Gutter cleaning starts at just $175 — and an October cleaning prevents $5,000–$20,000 in water damage.
We recommend gutter cleaning twice a year in the Twin Cities — late spring after cottonwood and maple seeds, and late fall after the last leaves drop. Call us in October — spots go fast.

Clogged gutters cause real, expensive damage.
Ice Dam Prevention
Clogged gutters are the #1 cause of ice dams in Minnesota. When gutters can't drain, meltwater backs up, refreezes at the eave, and forces water under your shingles. Ice dam remediation runs $500–$5,000. Our gutter cleaning runs $100–$250.
Foundation Protection
Water overflowing clogged gutters falls directly against your foundation. Over time it saturates the soil, pressures basement walls, and erodes the grading that directs water away from the home. Foundation repairs routinely cost $5,000–$30,000.
Fascia & Soffit Protection
When gutters stay full of wet debris, standing water soaks the fascia boards behind them until they rot — and once fascia goes, soffit and roof decking follow. The $150 cleaning that prevents an $800–$2,000 repair is the highest-ROI maintenance a homeowner can do.

Gutter cleaning questions, answered.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Minnesota?
Twice a year is the standard, and April and October are the two best months — April clears winter debris and seed drop, October gets the leaves out before freeze-up. Homes under heavy tree canopy often benefit from a third cleaning mid-summer. Skip it too long and you're looking at ice dams and foundation damage.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in the Twin Cities?
Most single-story homes run $100–$175. Two-story homes typically run $150–$250. Pricing depends on linear footage of gutters, stories, and debris level. We give you a firm price before starting — no surprises.
What happens if I skip gutter cleaning?
Clogged gutters cause cascading damage. Water backs up under your shingles and rots the roof decking. It pours over the sides and erodes your foundation. It soaks the fascia boards until they fail — $800–$2,000 to replace. In Minnesota winters, standing water in gutters is the #1 cause of ice dams. Gutter cleaning starts at just $175 and prevents thousands in repairs.
Can clogged gutters cause ice dams?
Yes — this is one of the most common causes of ice dams in Minnesota. When gutters are full, melting snow from your warm roof can't drain. It refreezes at the cold edge, building up an ice dam that lifts shingles and forces water into your attic and walls. Cleaning gutters in fall is the most effective prevention.
Do you clean downspouts too?
Yes — every job includes downspout check and clearing. We flush them with water and physically verify water exits at the base. If a downspout is severely blocked with compacted debris, we have equipment to clear it. We'll tell you if one is beyond saving and needs replacement.
Do you bag and remove the debris?
We bag every bit of removed debris and leave it neatly at whatever spot on your property works best for you — no piles scattered across the yard, no mess left behind.
What's the best time of year to clean gutters in Minnesota?
Late October through November is the single best time — after the last leaves fall but before the freeze. Early November appointments fill fast. Spring cleaning (April–May) is the second most important, especially after a heavy winter with a lot of seed and debris.
Can you clean gutters on a two or three-story home?
Absolutely. We have the ladders, standoffs, and training to safely work on all residential heights. Commercial buildings and multi-story properties are quoted individually based on height and access.
Do you inspect the gutters while you clean?
We flag anything we notice — loose spikes, sagging sections, cracked seams, or disconnected downspouts. We're not gutter installers, but we'll tell you if something needs attention so you can get it fixed before winter.
Are you insured for gutter cleaning in Minnesota?
Yes — FCR Cleaning carries full general liability and workers' comp insurance. You're covered if anything goes sideways on your property. Certificate of insurance available on request.
