Local insight
Excelsior is the postcard town of Lake Minnetonka: a walkable Victorian-era village where many homes predate 1920 and wear their gables, turrets and porches proudly. Rooflines like these were designed before gutters were standard, and every generation since has solved the water problem a little differently. We're often untangling three eras of fixes on one house.
Then there's the lake itself, a block away from most of town. Wind off the water tests every joint, and the south shore's freeze-thaw swings build ice dams on roofs that have complicated geometry to begin with. Historic homes deserve fixes that respect the architecture, and that's the standard we hold here.
We serve all of Excelsior (ZIP 55331), plus Shorewood, Greenwood, Deephaven, Tonka Bay-side streets and Minnetonka.

ACS 2024 median year built is 1970. About 20% of units pre-date 1940 and another ~19% rose in the 1970s — compact lakefront cottages, story-and-a-halfs, and later additions on a tiny, fully built peninsula. Original sectional troughs fail at hangers and corners first after decades of Minnetonka wind-driven rain.
Swap to continuous seamless gutters and repair soft fascia & soffit before rot reaches the deck. Compact footprints often run 80–120 LF with more corners than a wide suburban ranch. Nearby: Shorewood, Greenwood, and Deephaven.
Excelsior Bay on Lake Minnetonka covers about 90 acres of water (LMCD bay table). Shore and near-shore grades stay wet after spring melt; short stubs dump roof water into soils that already drain toward the bay. Growing Shade canopy is 39.3% — enough maple leaf load to clog open troughs each fall.
Extend outlets and add micro-mesh gutter guards. If asphalt is late-cycle, add roofing on the same lift. Guide: prepare gutters for winter. We also serve Minnetonka.
Excelsior issues combination residential permits; roofing is code-regulated work. Email [email protected] or call City Planner staff at 952-653-3674. Plan review and building inspections are contracted to Metro West at 763-479-1720. Designated historic properties need Heritage Preservation Commission Site Alteration Permits for exterior changes including roofing and siding — check with the planner before you start.
Confirm gutter-only scope with staff. EAVEX is licensed BC808261. Ice season: ice dam removal. Cost overview: Twin Cities seamless gutter cost.
City materials describe almost no vacant land — change comes through redevelopment. Free estimates check soft boards on pre-1940 eaves and whether short outlets are soaking bay-facing foundations.

Questions & answers
Victorian rooflines carry more corners and detail work than average, and the quote shows exactly where the labor goes. Free measurement, fixed written price before work.
Yes. Profile and color selection do most of the work, careful placement does the rest. The goal is a dry house that doesn't advertise its plumbing.
Yes, steam only. Chipping ice off a century-old roof destroys it, so we never chip.
