When gutters work properly, you forget they exist. No more water pooling around your foundation after storms. No more overflow staining your siding or drowning your carefully maintained landscaping. No more panic calls to contractors every time it rains hard.
Professional seamless gutter systems channel thousands of gallons away from your home each year. Your basement stays dry. Your foundation stays solid. Your exterior keeps looking the way it should.
You get custom-fitted systems sized specifically for North Woodmere’s weather patterns. Built to handle heavy spring rains and brutal winter freeze-thaw cycles without backing up, overflowing, or pulling away from your house.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been solving gutter problems across Nassau County for years. We know exactly how North Woodmere’s mature tree coverage, seasonal storm patterns, and specific housing styles create drainage challenges.
Most homes in your neighborhood were built between the 1950s and 1990s. The original 4-inch gutters on many of these properties simply can’t handle today’s weather intensity. We see the same problems repeatedly: undersized systems, separated joints, and poorly positioned downspouts from decades-old installations.
We’re fully licensed and insured. We handle roofing, chimney work, and complete gutter services. When you need contractors who understand how all your exterior systems work together, you’re in the right place.
We measure your roofline and calculate proper gutter sizing based on your home’s square footage and roof pitch. Most North Woodmere properties need 5-inch or 6-inch gutters—not the inadequate 4-inch systems still found on many older homes.
Our portable equipment fabricates seamless aluminum or copper gutters right on your property. No joints means no weak spots where leaks develop over time. We install heavy-duty hangers every 24 inches and ensure proper slope for optimal drainage.
Downspouts get strategically positioned to move water at least 6 feet from your foundation. We make sure water flows to appropriate areas—never onto walkways, driveways, or neighboring properties. After testing the complete system and thorough cleanup, you get gutters that perform flawlessly from installation day forward.

We install seamless gutters in durable aluminum or premium copper, depending on your home’s architectural style and budget requirements. Aluminum gutters offer excellent performance with multiple color options to match your trim. Copper gutters develop beautiful patina over time and can last 50+ years.
Gutter guard and leaf protection systems make perfect sense for North Woodmere properties, especially with the area’s abundant oak, maple, and pine trees. We install micro-mesh systems that block debris while maintaining proper water flow during heavy downpours.
Our comprehensive maintenance plans include bi-annual cleaning, thorough inspections, and minor repairs as needed. In Nassau County, this typically means spring cleaning after pollen season and essential fall cleaning after leaf drop. Regular maintenance prevents the clogs and ice dams that cause expensive interior damage.
The decision depends on your roof’s total square footage and pitch angle. Most single-story North Woodmere homes perform well with 5-inch gutters, but larger homes or properties with steep rooflines typically require 6-inch systems to handle water volume effectively.
We calculate this precisely using your roof’s dimensions and slope measurements. A typical 1,500 square foot ranch with moderate pitch works fine with 5-inch gutters. However, a 2,500 square foot colonial or any home with steep rooflines usually needs 6-inch gutters to prevent overflow during Nassau County’s intense spring storms.
The price difference between 5-inch and 6-inch systems is minimal compared to the cost of fixing overflow damage. We’d rather install the correct size initially than watch you deal with foundation problems and water damage later.
Absolutely, especially in our Long Island climate. Sectional gutters have joints approximately every 10 feet, and these connection points inevitably fail over time. We constantly repair water damage on Nassau County homes caused by separated joints that seamless systems would have prevented.
Seamless gutters typically cost about 20% more upfront, but they eliminate the vulnerable connection points where most gutter failures originate. No joints means no separation issues, no leaks at connections, and no ice dam formation at joint locations during winter.
When you factor in potential repair costs from water damage caused by failing joints, seamless gutters actually save money long-term. They also maintain cleaner appearance and better curb appeal than sectional systems with visible seams every few feet.
Quality gutter guards absolutely work when properly selected and installed, but inferior products often create more problems than they solve. We install micro-mesh systems that effectively block leaves and debris while maintaining excellent water flow during heavy rains.
The key is matching guard type to your specific property conditions. Homes with large overhanging oak trees require different protection than properties with minimal tree coverage. We evaluate your landscape and recommend the most effective solution accordingly.
Professional gutter guards won’t eliminate all maintenance requirements, but they dramatically reduce cleaning frequency. Most homeowners with quality guard systems need annual service instead of twice-yearly cleanings. For busy North Woodmere residents, this convenience justifies the investment.
Most North Woodmere properties require gutter cleaning twice annually—late spring after pollen season ends and late fall after leaves finish dropping. Homes with heavy tree coverage may need additional mid-season cleaning.
Spring cleaning removes accumulated pollen, small twigs, and winter debris that can cause slow drainage. Fall cleaning is absolutely critical because clogged gutters create dangerous ice dams during winter freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams frequently cause severe roof damage and expensive interior water problems.
Properties with professional gutter guards typically need only annual cleaning. Without protection systems, skipping regular maintenance almost guarantees clogs, overflow, and water damage. Our maintenance plans handle scheduling automatically, eliminating the hassle of remembering these essential services.
High-quality aluminum gutters typically last 15-20 years in Nassau County’s coastal environment, assuming professional installation and regular maintenance. Cheaper, thin-gauge aluminum may fail within 8-10 years due to corrosion and structural problems.
Installation quality and ongoing maintenance are the biggest factors affecting gutter lifespan. Systems installed with proper slope and adequate support hangers last significantly longer. Regular cleaning prevents corrosion from standing water and organic debris accumulation.
Salt air from nearby Long Island Sound can accelerate aluminum corrosion, particularly on lower-grade materials. We use heavy-gauge aluminum with specialized protective coatings designed for coastal environments. Copper gutters last much longer—often exceeding 50 years—but require substantially higher upfront investment.
We perform gutter installations year-round provided temperatures remain above freezing and weather conditions are safe for roof work. Winter installation often offers advantages including faster scheduling and potentially better pricing.
Primary considerations are daily weather conditions and safe roof access. We never work during snow, ice, or high wind conditions regardless of season. During mild winter days, installation proceeds exactly like warmer months.
If existing gutters are damaged and causing active problems, waiting until spring could mean months of ongoing water damage. Emergency repairs or complete replacement often make financial sense even during winter. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend optimal timing for your gutter project.
