You’ll never worry about water pooling around your foundation again. Professional gutter installation means water flows exactly where it should – away from your home, your basement, and your landscaping.
No more soggy yards after storms. No more water stains on your foundation walls. No more wondering if that next heavy rain will cause problems.
With properly installed seamless gutters, you get decades of reliable water management. Your home stays protected, your basement stays dry, and you can actually enjoy rainy days instead of dreading them.
We’ve been protecting Long Island homes for years at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc. We understand what Farmingville homeowners face – heavy tree coverage, unpredictable storms, and the constant battle against water damage.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s actually good news for you. You’re investing in gutters that work properly from day one, installed by contractors who show up when promised and finish the job right.
Licensed and insured, we serve Nassau and Suffolk County with the kind of straightforward service that keeps customers coming back. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we mean Tuesday morning.
First, we inspect your current system and measure your roofline. We’ll tell you exactly what needs fixing, what can stay, and what should be replaced. No surprises, no upselling.
Next, we fabricate seamless gutters on-site to your exact measurements. Whether you choose aluminum or copper, 5-inch or 6-inch capacity, everything is custom-fit to your home’s specific needs.
Installation day means professional mounting with modern hangers – no outdated spikes that eventually sag. We position downspouts strategically to direct water away from your foundation and landscaping. Clean-up is included, and you’ll see the difference immediately after the first rain.

Your gutter system includes seamless aluminum or copper gutters, professional-grade downspouts, and optional gutter guard protection. We install 5-inch gutters for most homes, or 6-inch systems for larger rooflines or areas with heavy rainfall.
In Farmingville, where tree coverage is heavier than most areas, gutter guards make sense. They reduce cleaning frequency from twice yearly to once every few years. Less maintenance, fewer service calls, more time for things you actually want to do.
We also offer comprehensive maintenance plans for homeowners who want professional oversight. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs, keeping your system working properly year after year.
In Farmingville, you should clean gutters twice yearly – early spring and late fall. The heavy tree coverage in this area means more debris than typical Long Island locations.
Spring cleaning removes winter accumulation and prepares your system for spring rains. Fall cleaning is critical because it removes the bulk of leaf debris before winter weather sets in.
If your property has mature oak, maple, or pine trees directly over your roofline, you might need quarterly cleaning. Gutter guards can extend this to annual cleaning, saving you time and reducing maintenance costs.
Most Farmingville homes work perfectly with 5-inch gutters. They handle typical rainfall and roof runoff without issues, and they’re the most cost-effective option for standard residential properties.
6-inch gutters make sense for larger homes, steep rooflines, or areas that experience heavy water flow during storms. They have 40% more capacity than 5-inch systems, which matters during Long Island’s occasional heavy downpours.
We measure your roofline and calculate water flow to recommend the right size. It’s not always about bigger being better – it’s about matching capacity to your home’s specific needs.
Aluminum gutters are the practical choice for most homeowners. They resist rust, handle Long Island weather well, and typically last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. They’re also significantly more affordable than copper.
Copper gutters are the premium option. They develop a natural patina over time, add significant curb appeal, and can last 50+ years. They’re an investment that increases home value, but the upfront cost is substantially higher.
For most Farmingville homes, high-quality aluminum gutters provide excellent performance and value. Copper makes sense if you’re planning to stay long-term and want the aesthetic benefits.
Sagging sections, visible rust, or gutters pulling away from your house indicate replacement time. If you see water stains on your foundation or pooling near your home after rain, your current system isn’t working properly.
Small leaks at joints can often be repaired, but multiple problem areas usually mean the entire system needs updating. Gutters with spike-and-ferrule mounting (common in older installations) typically need replacement because this mounting method eventually fails.
We inspect the entire system – gutters, downspouts, mounting hardware, and drainage patterns. Sometimes strategic repairs work, but we’ll tell you honestly when replacement is the smarter investment.
Quality gutter guards significantly reduce maintenance in tree-heavy areas like Farmingville, but they don’t eliminate it completely. They keep out most leaves and large debris while allowing water to flow through.
The key is choosing the right type of guard for your specific tree coverage. Mesh guards work well for most deciduous trees, while solid guards with slots handle pine needles better.
Even with guards, you’ll need occasional cleaning – maybe annually instead of twice yearly. They’re not maintenance-free, but they dramatically reduce the frequency and difficulty of gutter cleaning.
Poor downspout drainage causes water to pool near your foundation, potentially leading to basement moisture, foundation settling, or landscape damage. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention.
Sometimes the fix is simple – extending downspouts further from the house or adding splash blocks. Other times, we need to relocate downspouts or add underground drainage systems to direct water to proper drainage areas.
We evaluate your property’s natural drainage patterns and recommend solutions that work with your landscape. Proper downspout placement and drainage is just as important as the gutters themselves.
