Gutter Helmet Installation in Minnesota: Triple Lifetime Warranty
Looking to have Gutter Helmet installed on your Minnesota home? Gutter Helmet is a patented surface-tension gutter cover with a solid nose-forward bull-nose edge that mounts under your existing shingles at the same pitch as your roof. It is not a screen, mesh, or micro-mesh product. It is a continuous solid panel that keeps leaves, pine needles, seedpods, and shingle grit out while rainwater flows through, rated to handle over 22 inches of rain per hour.
Every Gutter Helmet installation is performed by W-2 employees of Gutter Helmet of Minnesota, never subcontractors, and includes a complete inspection and tune-up of your existing gutter system before the panels are mounted. The system is backed by a Triple Lifetime Warranty that is fully transferable and a lifetime no-clog warranty. If they Ever Clog, We Clean Them for FREE. Call 612-509-5693 for a free in-home estimate.
How Gutter Helmet Works
The patented nose-forward design uses surface tension to guide rainwater into the gutter while debris slides off the roof and onto the ground. There are no holes, slots, or screens to clog. It is one continuous solid panel mounted under your existing shingles at the same pitch as your roof, which is what makes it different from the mesh and screen guards you can read more about on our gutter covers page.
How Gutter Helmet Is Installed
Installation starts with a pre-install inspection and tune-up of your existing gutter system so the panels sit on gutters that are sound and properly pitched. Our W-2 crews then mount the solid Gutter Helmet panels under your existing shingles at the same pitch as the roof, never lifting or disturbing the shingles improperly, so the cover blends into the roofline. On an average-sized home the work is typically completed in one day. Because the install is done by our own employees and never subcontractors, the same team that quotes the job is the team that mounts the panels.
Built for Minnesota Weather
Heavy-gauge aluminum panels with a baked-on PermaLife™ finish stand up to UV, ice, snow load, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy lesser gutter guards. The solid nose-forward design sheds debris rather than collecting it, which is exactly what you want when sub-zero stretches and ice dams hit Minnesota roofs. For homes that need extra protection, an optional Helmet Heat low-voltage self-regulating cable runs along the leading edge of the panel and is rated for sub-zero Minnesota winters to help prevent the debris buildup that contributes to ice dams.
