Your gutters do one critical job: move water away from your home. When they fail, you’re looking at foundation problems, basement flooding, and siding damage that costs thousands to fix.
Properly installed seamless gutters eliminate the weak points where leaks start. You get clean lines, better performance, and fewer headaches down the road. Our gutter systems handle Long Island’s heavy rains and winter ice without backing up or pulling away from your roofline.
The right gutter guards mean you’re not climbing ladders twice a year to clean out leaves and debris. Your gutters work automatically, season after season, protecting your investment while you focus on everything else.
We’ve been installing and repairing gutters across Nassau and Suffolk County since 2001. That’s over two decades of dealing with Long Island weather—from nor’easters that dump inches of rain in hours to ice storms that test every joint and bracket.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc is family-owned, which means we’re not going anywhere. When you call us back in five years because a storm knocked something loose, we’ll be here. Our reputation in Elwood and surrounding communities matters more than any single job.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s how you do business right. No shortcuts, no surprises, just solid work that protects your home the way it should.
First, we assess your current situation. We measure your roofline, check the fascia condition, and determine proper drainage slopes. You’ll know exactly what needs to happen before we start.
Installation begins with removing old gutters if necessary, then securing new brackets at precise intervals. Seamless gutters are cut to exact lengths on-site—no joints except at corners where they’re properly sealed. Downspouts are positioned to direct water well away from your foundation.
We test the entire system before we leave. That means running water through every section to verify proper flow and checking all connections. You see it working correctly, and we clean up completely. The job’s not done until your property looks better than when we arrived.

We install 5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutters in aluminum and copper. Aluminum gutters offer excellent durability at competitive prices, while copper provides that distinctive look that improves with age. Both materials handle Long Island’s weather without warping or cracking.
Gutter guard systems keep leaves, pine needles, and debris out while allowing water to flow freely. Less maintenance for you, better performance year-round. We also handle complete downspout systems, including underground drainage extensions that move water completely away from your foundation.
Elwood’s mature trees and seasonal weather patterns require gutters sized and positioned correctly. Our installations account for your property’s specific drainage needs, roof pitch, and local conditions. You get a system designed to work with your home, not against it.
Seamless gutter installation typically runs $8-15 per linear foot for aluminum gutters, with copper systems costing more. Your total depends on your home’s size, gutter material, and any additional features like gutter guards or decorative downspouts.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Most Elwood homes need 100-200 linear feet of gutters, so you’re looking at a range that makes sense for protecting your investment.
Financing options are available for larger projects. We’d rather see you get the right system installed properly than compromise on quality to hit a lower price point.
Most Long Island homes do well with 5-inch gutters, but 6-inch systems handle heavy rainfall better and look proportionally correct on larger homes. If your roof area is over 2,000 square feet or you have steep roof pitches, 6-inch gutters prevent overflow during heavy storms.
We calculate the right size based on your roof’s square footage and pitch. Long Island gets some serious downpours, especially during summer thunderstorms and nor’easters. Undersized gutters overflow, which defeats the whole purpose.
The cost difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters is minimal compared to the water damage you avoid with proper sizing. We’ll recommend what actually works for your specific situation.
Without gutter guards, most Elwood homes need cleaning twice yearly—spring and fall. Long Island’s oak, maple, and pine trees drop different debris throughout the seasons. Fall cleanup removes leaves before winter, while spring cleaning clears out any winter accumulation.
Gutter guards reduce this to annual inspections in most cases. You’ll still want to check for any storm damage or settling, but the daily maintenance disappears. Guards pay for themselves in reduced cleaning costs and safety.
We offer maintenance plans that include annual inspections and cleaning. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. It’s cheaper to tighten a few screws than replace sections damaged by overflow.
Sectional gutters come in pre-cut lengths that connect with joints every 10-12 feet. These joints are potential leak points, especially as the system ages and settles. Seamless gutters are formed on-site to exact lengths, eliminating most joints.
Seamless installation costs slightly more upfront but saves money long-term through reduced maintenance and fewer repairs. The clean appearance also improves your home’s curb appeal compared to sectional systems with visible joint lines.
We recommend seamless gutters for most installations. The performance advantage and longevity make the investment worthwhile, especially given Long Island’s weather conditions that stress gutter systems throughout the year.
Yes, we install several types of gutter guards, from mesh screens to solid covers with surface tension systems. The right choice depends on your tree coverage, roof pitch, and maintenance preferences. Quality guards reduce cleaning frequency by 80-90%.
Gutter guards aren’t maintenance-free, but they’re close. You’ll still need occasional inspections and light cleaning, but the dangerous ladder work and frequent cleanouts disappear. For most Elwood homeowners, guards pay for themselves within 3-4 years.
We don’t oversell guards where they’re not needed. If your home has minimal tree coverage, basic maintenance might make more sense. But if you’re surrounded by mature trees or tired of climbing ladders, guards are a worthwhile upgrade.
Emergency repairs typically happen within 24-48 hours, especially if water damage is actively occurring. Complete gutter replacement usually schedules within 1-2 weeks, depending on material availability and weather conditions.
We keep common repair materials in stock for quick fixes—brackets, sections, and downspout components. Storm damage gets priority scheduling because we know water problems get worse fast. Temporary solutions can often buy time until permanent repairs are possible.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations. If your gutters are dumping water against your foundation or causing immediate problems, we’ll get someone out quickly. Prevention is always better than dealing with water damage after the fact.
