Gutter Downspouts in Eden Prairie, MN
A downspout in the wrong spot just moves your overflow problem three feet closer to the foundation. We place them where the grading actually carries water away.
What’s Included
A downspout’s job is simple to describe and easy to get wrong: move water from the gutter to a point where it won’t come back toward the house. We size and place downspouts based on how much water each gutter section actually carries, not just by putting one at every corner because that’s the default.
- Downspout sizing based on the roof area feeding each section
- Placement that follows your lot’s actual grading, not a generic layout
- Extensions and splash blocks where a walkout basement or sloped lot needs the water carried further
- Reconnection of loose or disconnected joints during a repair visit
Why Placement Matters on Sloped Eden Prairie Lots
A lot of homes here, especially around Riley Lake and the bluff-line lots in West Eden Prairie, have walkout basements built into a slope. Water discharged from an upper downspout on a lot like that can run downhill and accelerate right back toward the lower level if it isn’t redirected properly. We’ve seen that exact pattern turn into moisture along a walkout basement wall when a downspout was placed correctly on paper but wrong for the actual slope of the yard.
How The Job Goes
We walk the property, not just the roofline, and look at where the ground actually slopes. Then we size and place downspouts to match, adding extensions where the lot needs water carried further from the foundation. If existing downspouts are undersized for the section they’re draining, we’ll flag that as part of an installation or repair.
What Affects The Cost
Number of downspouts, length of run (including any underground tie-ins), and whether extensions or splash blocks are needed for your specific grading.

Questions we hear a lot
How many downspouts does a typical house need?
It depends on roofline length and how many valleys concentrate water into one section. We calculate it per house, not by a fixed rule of thumb.
Do I need downspout extensions?
If your lot slopes toward the house or you have a walkout basement, yes, an extension carries water further before it discharges.
Can downspouts tie into underground drainage?
In some cases. We'll look at what's already there and whether it's still functioning before recommending that route.
What customers say
Big Mike understood what we needed right away. His crew came out and installed over 60 feet of new gutter around our porch and came up with a superior drain spout design, better than what was originally planned for! The work was done quickly and efficiently by this experienced crew, and the price was reasonable as quoted. Would call again.
Max Tite
Three crew members came and did a fantastic job. We requested some detailed work, and every request was accepted. They found a way to satisfy us. They did an excellent job! I would definitely hire them again for any gutter work.
Kyoko French
Super easy to work with. The gutters look great and they had lots of good color options. They were very professional – did what they said when they said and the price was in line or lower than others we had quote. We are very happy we went with them.
