When your gutters work properly, you don’t think about them. Water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling around it. Your basement stays dry during storms. Your landscaping doesn’t get washed away.
That’s what happens when gutters are installed right the first time. No more worrying about water damage. No more expensive foundation repairs. No more dealing with wet basements after every heavy rain.
Your home’s exterior stays protected, your paint lasts longer, and you avoid the headaches that come with water where it doesn’t belong.
We’ve been protecting Long Island homes for years at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc. We understand the unique challenges that Nassau County homeowners face – from coastal storms to varying soil conditions that affect drainage.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in seamless gutters that won’t need replacing in five years. Quality materials, professional installation, and the kind of workmanship that keeps water flowing where it should.
Your neighbors in Plandome Heights trust us because we show up when we say we will, do exactly what we promise, and stand behind our work with real warranties.
First, we inspect your current system and measure your roofline. We’ll identify problem areas, check your fascia boards, and determine the right size gutters for your home’s drainage needs.
Next, we fabricate your seamless gutters on-site using our mobile equipment. This ensures a perfect fit with no unnecessary seams that can leak over time. We install everything in one or two days, depending on your home’s size.
Finally, we test the entire system to make sure water flows properly to your downspouts and away from your foundation. You’ll see exactly how your new gutters protect your home before we consider the job complete.

We install 5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutters in aluminum and copper. Most Plandome Heights homes do well with 5-inch gutters, but homes with larger roof areas or steep pitches benefit from 6-inch systems that handle more water volume.
Our aluminum gutters come with baked-on paint finishes that won’t crack, chip, or blister for 20 years. Copper gutters develop a beautiful patina over time and complement traditional architecture common in your area.
Every installation includes properly sized downspouts, secure mounting with hidden hangers, and extensions that direct water at least five feet from your foundation. We also offer gutter guards to reduce maintenance and keep leaves out of your system.
Seamless gutters typically last 20-25 years with proper maintenance, while sectional gutters usually need replacement after 10-15 years. The difference comes down to joints and seams.
Sectional gutters have multiple connection points where water can leak over time. Each joint is a potential failure point, especially during freeze-thaw cycles common on Long Island. Seamless gutters eliminate most of these weak spots.
Our seamless gutters are custom-fabricated on-site to fit your exact measurements. This means fewer places for water to escape and less maintenance over the years. You’ll spend less time on ladders and more time enjoying a dry basement.
Most homes in Plandome Heights work well with 5-inch gutters, but it depends on your roof’s square footage and pitch. We calculate the drainage area to determine the right size.
For every 600 square feet of roof area, you need one 2×3-inch downspout. For every 1,200 square feet, you need a 3×4-inch downspout. Homes with steep roofs or large drainage areas benefit from 6-inch gutters that handle higher water volume.
We measure your roof during the estimate and recommend the right combination of gutter width and downspout placement. Getting this right prevents overflow during heavy storms and protects your foundation from water damage.
Gutter guards aren’t required, but they make sense for most Plandome Heights homeowners. The mature trees in your area drop plenty of leaves, especially in fall.
Quality gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency from twice yearly to once every few years. They also prevent ice dams by allowing water to flow even when debris accumulates. This is particularly helpful during Long Island’s unpredictable winter weather.
We install professional-grade guards that won’t void your gutter warranty. Cheap guards from big box stores often cause more problems than they solve, so we stick with systems that actually work long-term.
Look for sagging sections, visible rust or holes, and water stains on your fascia boards. If your gutters pull away from the house or you see water pooling near your foundation after storms, replacement usually makes more sense than repairs.
Sectional gutters older than 15 years typically need full replacement. The joints fail, the pitch changes over time, and you end up spending more on repairs than a new system would cost. Small dents or minor clogs can usually be fixed.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. Sometimes a few repairs and a good cleaning solve the problem. Other times, you’re better off starting fresh with a system that will last another 20 years.
Our seamless gutters are built to handle Long Island weather, including coastal storms and heavy snow loads. We use heavy-gauge aluminum and secure mounting systems that resist wind damage.
If storm damage does occur, we provide emergency repair services to prevent water damage to your home. Most homeowners insurance policies cover gutter damage from storms, and we can work directly with your insurance company.
We also offer maintenance plans that include annual inspections and priority service during storm season. This helps catch small issues before they become big problems and keeps your warranty coverage active.
We install gutters year-round as long as temperatures stay above freezing during installation. Winter installation actually has some advantages – you’re ready for spring rains and there’s usually better scheduling availability.
Cold weather doesn’t affect the quality of seamless gutter installation. Our mobile fabrication equipment works in most weather conditions, and the aluminum material isn’t affected by temperature during installation.
The only limitation is snow or ice on your roof, which makes it unsafe for our crew to work. We’ll reschedule if conditions aren’t safe, but most winter days in Plandome Heights allow for normal installation work.
