Inspect the run
We check pitch, hangers, seams, and fascia before anything is ordered. Sagging or leaking gutters get fixed or replaced first — a guard on a bad run only hides the failure.

Leaf guard Minneapolis installs
Local gutter guard installation — not a national one-size pitch.
“Gutter guard installation near me” is one of the highest-demand searches in this category. The work itself is local: correct pitch, sound hangers, the right opening size for your debris, and water that still reaches the outlets in a Minnesota downpour.
We install leaf guards on gutters that are already performing, or we roll new seamless aluminum on site with our New Tech Machinery MACH II 5/6 and add protection the same day. Either path starts with an honest look at the run — we will not cover a system that needs repair first.
Choose plastic screen ($6/ft), aluminum mesh ($7/ft), or solid aluminum ($8/ft). Cleaning is included when guards mount the same visit.
- Install on existing gutters when pitch and hangers are sound
- Same-day add-on with new seamless gutter installation
- Mesh for needles; solid for heavy leaf volume; plastic for light loads
- Attaches to the gutter — not slid under shingles that void roof warranties
- 5-year written workmanship warranty
- Serving Minneapolis, St. Paul, and western Wisconsin within ~140 miles
Gutter guard installation near you
Fitted on existing gutters — or with a new system.
Searching for gutter guard installation near me usually means one of two jobs: protect gutters that still pitch correctly, or add guards the same day we roll new seamless aluminum. We do both across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and western Wisconsin.
Clear the channel
Debris comes out by hand and downspouts are flushed. Cleaning is included when guards go on, because nothing mounts on a packed trough.
Fit the guard type
Plastic screen, aluminum mesh, or solid aluminum — cut and fastened so water still finds the outlets under Minnesota rain.
Walk the result
We confirm flow, bag the waste, and leave you with what was installed and how to schedule an occasional rinse later.
Plastic screen
$6/ft
Budget option for sheds, short runs, or light debris — not our first pick under heavy pines.
Aluminum mesh
$7/ft
Best everyday leaf guard for Minneapolis lots with mixed trees and pine needles.
Solid aluminum
$8/ft
Surface-style cover for heavy leaf volume and seed pods; highest durability of the three.
Leaf guard Minneapolis installs — local realities
Leaf guard Minneapolis searches often mix brand names with generic protection. We install the three guard styles on our price list — not a franchise helmet product — and match the design to your trees instead of one catalog SKU. Oak and maple lots need volume handling; pine belts need fine mesh that needles cannot weave through. Compare options on guard types before you book.
Most single-family installs finish in a day when the gutters are already sound. New seamless gutters plus guards share the same ladder day on our New Tech Machinery MACH II 5/6. Work carries a 5-year written workmanship warranty. Price a run in guards mode, or start from the gutter guards overview if you are still weighing cleaning vs protection.
After installation
Less cleaning. Not zero attention — forever.
Guards keep leaves, needles, and seed pods out of the channel. Fine grit from shingles still washes through over years, so plan an occasional rinse — far lighter than a packed autumn clean. If ice dams are your main worry, that is attic ventilation and insulation; we will say so instead of selling a guard as a cure.

Questions people ask before calling
Can you add guards to my existing gutters?
Yes. If your gutters are in good shape and properly pitched, we install guards directly on them. If they are sagging or damaged, we tell you before adding anything — a cover on a bad run only hides the problem.
Which type of guard do you recommend?
It depends on your trees. Aluminum mesh handles pine needles and mixed debris best for most Minneapolis lots. Solid aluminum suits heavy leaf volume and seed pods. Plastic screen is the budget option for light loads and short runs.
Do guards really eliminate cleaning?
They eliminate the regular ladder-climbing for leaves. You will still want an occasional rinse every few years for fine grit and shingle granules, especially after severe storms.
How much does gutter guard installation cost?
Installed pricing is $6/ft plastic screen, $7/ft aluminum mesh, and $8/ft solid aluminum. Cleaning is included when guards go on the same day.
Do you serve “near me” outside Minneapolis?
We work within about 140 miles of Minneapolis — St. Paul, Burnsville, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Hudson WI, River Falls WI, and nearby suburbs. Google “near me” results still depend on maps and reviews; this page is the local install detail.
Is this the same as a gutter helmet?
People often use “helmet” to mean a solid surface-style cover. We install solid aluminum from our price list. We do not claim the Helmet brand unless a job specifically calls for that product — see our types page for an honest comparison.
