Your gutters handle Long Island’s 40-50 inches of annual rainfall without backing up, overflowing, or dumping water where it doesn’t belong. No more basement flooding during summer storms or ice dams backing up in winter.
When your gutters work right, water flows smoothly away from your home’s foundation, siding, and landscaping. You won’t see those black streaks running down your house or deal with soggy flower beds after every rain.
That means your foundation stays dry, your basement stays usable, and you’re not calling contractors for expensive water damage repairs.
We’ve been installing and maintaining gutters across Suffolk County since 2002. We’re the local company Brightwaters homeowners call when they need gutters that can handle coastal weather without constant repairs.
We know what works in this area. The salt air, the summer storms, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior gutters. That’s why we use heavy-gauge aluminum and proper installation techniques that keep your system working year after year.
You’re dealing with a family-owned business that’s been here through multiple hurricane seasons and knows how to protect waterfront properties from water damage.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current gutters, fascia boards, and roof edge. If your fascia is rotted or damaged, we’ll let you know upfront—no surprises halfway through the job.
Next, we measure and fabricate your seamless gutters on-site using .027 gauge aluminum. This eliminates weak joints and gives you a custom fit for your exact roofline. We install proper hangers every 24 inches and ensure correct pitch for optimal water flow.
Finally, we test the entire system with water to make sure everything drains properly. We clean up completely and walk you through your new gutter system so you know what to expect.

We install seamless aluminum gutters in both 5-inch residential and 6-inch high-capacity sizes. For Brightwaters properties with large roof areas or heavy tree coverage, 6-inch gutters handle the extra water volume without overflowing.
Copper gutters are available for historic homes or when you want that distinctive patina look. We also install gutter guards and leaf protection systems to reduce maintenance and prevent clogs from the area’s mature trees.
Our service includes gutter cleaning, repairs to existing systems, and complete replacements when your current gutters are beyond repair. We handle fascia board replacement if needed and can add downspout extensions to direct water further from your foundation.
Most Brightwaters homes do well with standard 5-inch gutters, but 6-inch gutters are often better for larger roof areas or homes with heavy tree coverage. Given Long Island’s 40-50 inches of annual rainfall, 6-inch gutters provide extra capacity during summer storms and reduce overflow risk.
We look at your roof size, pitch, and the mature trees around your property to recommend the right size. Waterfront homes often benefit from 6-inch systems because they handle the intense rainfall from coastal storms better.
The cost difference is minimal, but the performance difference during heavy rain can save you from water damage and basement flooding issues.
Quality seamless aluminum gutters typically last 15-20 years in Brightwaters’ coastal environment when properly installed and maintained. The salt air does create more corrosion than inland areas, but heavy-gauge aluminum with baked-on finishes resists this well.
The seamless design eliminates the joints where most gutter failures start. We use .027 gauge aluminum, which is thicker than the standard .025 gauge many contractors use. This extra thickness makes a real difference in longevity.
Regular cleaning and occasional inspection extend their life significantly. Gutters that are cleaned twice yearly and checked for proper pitch typically reach or exceed their expected lifespan.
Aluminum gutters cost less upfront and come in many colors to match your home’s exterior. They’re lightweight, rust-resistant, and handle Long Island weather well. Most Brightwaters homeowners choose aluminum for its durability and value.
Copper gutters cost more initially but can last 50+ years and develop an attractive green patina over time. They’re popular on historic homes or when you want a premium look. Copper naturally resists corrosion and actually gets stronger as it ages.
Both materials work well in coastal conditions. Your choice usually comes down to budget and aesthetics. Aluminum gives you excellent performance at a reasonable price, while copper is an investment in long-term durability and distinctive appearance.
Most Brightwaters homes need gutter cleaning twice yearly—once in late spring after the heavy pollen season and again in late fall after leaves drop. Properties with many mature trees may need three cleanings per year.
The coastal location means you get debris from storms year-round, not just fall leaves. Salt spray can also cause buildup that affects water flow. Regular cleaning prevents clogs that lead to overflow and water damage.
If you have gutter guards installed, you can often reduce cleaning frequency to once yearly. However, even protected gutters need occasional inspection and cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
Yes, we install gutters year-round in Brightwaters as long as temperatures are above freezing and conditions are safe. Winter installation actually has advantages—you can see exactly how your current gutters handle ice and snow before replacing them.
We avoid installation during active storms or when ice makes roof work dangerous. But clear winter days are often ideal for gutter work because there’s less demand and you’re ready for spring’s heavy rains.
Emergency gutter repairs happen year-round because Long Island weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing. If your gutters fail during a winter storm, we can often provide temporary solutions until permanent installation is possible.
Yes, we warranty our gutter installation workmanship and use materials that come with manufacturer warranties. Aluminum gutters typically include 20-year warranties on the paint finish and material integrity.
Our installation warranty covers proper attachment, correct pitch, and leak-free performance. If your gutters don’t drain properly or develop leaks at joints due to our installation, we fix it at no charge.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer but generally cover paint adhesion, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity. We use only quality materials from established manufacturers who stand behind their products long-term.
