Local insight
Richfield is the definitive postwar suburb: square miles of 1940s and 50s ramblers and story-and-a-halfs built fast for returning GIs, on compact lots that are now shaded by seventy-year-old trees. The housing is honest and solid, and its roof edges are simply old: original fascia behind third-generation gutters, undersized downspouts, and half-story roofs that breed ice dams because the bedroom is right under the deck.
Compact lots mean every discharge point matters. We spend as much time in Richfield rerouting water away from foundations and window wells as we do hanging new runs, and those small fixes are usually the cheapest ones on the quote.
We serve all of Richfield (ZIP 55423), plus Bloomington, Edina, Minneapolis-side streets and the airport corridor.

Richfield’s Point of Sale program (ordinance since 1989) requires a city housing inspection and Certificate of Housing Maintenance before title transfer on one- and two-family homes. Inspectors visually check the roof, foundation, doors, windows, exterior covering, and related systems — failed gutters and rotten fascia land on the repair list.
Schedule the POS early (Housing Inspections, 612-861-9882) and fix drainage first. Continuous seamless gutters with extended outlets keep water off the foundation the inspector walks. Soft boards? Bundle fascia & soffit. Nearby: Bloomington, Edina, and Minneapolis.
ACS 2024 puts Richfield’s median year built at 1959 — among the oldest first-ring stocks in this batch. About 31% of units rose in the 1950s and 17% in the 1940s. Compact ramblers dominate: shorter gutter runs (often 80–120 LF) but decades of sectional joints, undersized 2×3 downspouts, and ice at north eaves.
When asphalt is on its second or third life, replace gutters and the roof in one mobilization. Cost overview: Twin Cities seamless gutter cost. Mesh gutter guards help where boulevard trees still shed hard each October.
Community Development Building Inspections (6700 Portland Ave S, 612-861-9860) routes permits through Citizenserve. The city’s asphalt-shingle roofing handout requires ice and water protection at eaves, flashings, and a final inspection — contractors must hold a Minnesota DOL license. Confirm gutter-only jobs with the permit desk.
Growing Shade lists 32.8% canopy. EAVEX is licensed BC808261. Ice-dam seasons: ice dam prevention in Minnesota.
Free on-site estimates cover linear footage, outlet count, and fascia condition so you know the written price before any tear-off starts. Ask about pairing guards when boulevard trees overhang both street and alley eaves.

Questions & answers
Compact postwar homes keep footage low, most jobs land at the lower end of the range. Free measurement, fixed written quote before work.
Almost certainly, and story-and-a-half homes are the classic case. Steam removal solves the emergency, guards and clean gutters cut the recurrence. We handle both and tell you if attic air sealing is the missing piece.
Yes, with steam. No chipping, no shingle damage, plus the reason the dam formed.
Yes. Minnesota contractor license BC808261, fully insured. Documents on request: (763) 313-8516 or [email protected].
Usually within two or three days, faster if water is actively getting in.
