When your gutters work right, you stop thinking about them. No more rushing outside during storms to check if water’s pooling near your foundation. No more weekend ladder climbs to clear clogs.
You get seamless systems that move water exactly where it needs to go. Every time it rains, every season, every year. Your basement stays dry, your landscaping stays intact, and your foundation stays protected.
That’s what happens when gutters are installed correctly the first time. You invest once and stop worrying about water damage for decades.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been handling Long Island’s weather challenges for years. We understand how nor’easters, summer downpours, and freeze-thaw cycles affect your gutters differently than other regions.
We don’t just install gutters—we design water management systems that work with your home’s specific needs and Hagerman’s climate patterns. When you’re dealing with foundation issues or ice dams, you need contractors who’ve seen it all before.
We’re the local company that homeowners call when they want it done right the first time.
First, we assess your home’s specific drainage needs and measure for custom-fit seamless gutters. No guesswork—we calculate proper sizing, slope, and downspout placement based on your roof’s square footage and local rainfall patterns.
Next, we remove old gutters (if needed) and install your new seamless system using professional-grade hangers and proper spacing. We test water flow and make adjustments to ensure optimal performance.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through your new system. You’ll know exactly how it works and what to expect. Most installations complete in one day, and you’re protected immediately.

You get seamless gutter installation in aluminum or copper, custom-fitted to your home’s exact measurements. We handle 5-inch and 6-inch systems depending on your roof’s water volume needs.
Gutter guard installation keeps leaves and debris out while allowing water to flow freely. Our leaf protection systems work especially well with Long Island’s heavy tree coverage and seasonal leaf drop.
We also provide gutter cleaning services and maintenance plans to keep your system working optimally. Regular maintenance extends gutter life and prevents the small problems that become expensive repairs.
Quality seamless aluminum gutters typically last 15-20 years in Suffolk County’s climate, while copper systems can last 50+ years with proper maintenance. The key factors are professional installation with correct slope and spacing, plus regular cleaning to prevent ice dam formation.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture require gutters that can expand and contract without cracking. Seamless construction eliminates the weak points where traditional sectional gutters fail first.
Our installations include proper hanger spacing every 24 inches and adequate downspouts to handle nor’easter rainfall volumes that can overwhelm undersized systems.
Most Hagerman homes need 6-inch gutters due to Long Island’s heavy rainfall and large roof areas common in the region. Standard 5-inch gutters often overflow during summer thunderstorms and nor’easters, leading to foundation and landscaping damage.
We calculate the right size based on your roof’s square footage, pitch, and local rainfall data. Homes with steep roofs or complex rooflines typically require larger gutters and additional downspouts for proper drainage.
The investment in properly sized gutters pays for itself by preventing water damage that costs thousands more than the gutter upgrade.
Quality gutter guards significantly reduce cleaning frequency, but they’re not completely maintenance-free. In Hagerman’s heavily wooded areas, guards keep out most leaves while allowing water to flow through during heavy rains.
The best guards for this area use micro-mesh technology that blocks debris while handling our region’s intense rainfall. Cheap guards often clog worse than no guards at all, so material quality matters.
Even with guards, annual inspection and occasional cleaning ensure optimal performance. But you’ll climb ladders once a year instead of multiple times per season.
Proper gutter installation with correct slope prevents standing water that freezes into ice dams. We ensure gutters drain completely and install adequate downspouts to handle snowmelt volume quickly.
Gutter guards help by keeping debris out that would otherwise trap ice and snow. Clean gutters with proper water flow rarely develop the ice buildup that damages homes and creates dangerous icicles.
Attic ventilation and insulation also play crucial roles, but properly functioning gutters are your first line of defense against ice dam formation and the water damage they cause.
Our maintenance plans include annual cleaning, inspection of hangers and joints, and minor adjustments to maintain proper water flow. We check for loose sections, test downspout drainage, and clear any debris from guards.
During inspections, we identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. Small repairs like tightening hangers or sealing minor leaks are included in the plan cost.
Maintenance plan customers get priority scheduling for emergency repairs and discounted rates on major work. It’s the most cost-effective way to protect your gutter investment long-term.
Most gutter replacements complete in one day for typical Hagerman homes. We keep common materials in stock and can usually schedule installation within a week of your call, depending on weather conditions.
Emergency situations like storm damage or gutters pulling away from the house get priority scheduling. We understand that failing gutters can cause immediate damage to your foundation and landscaping.
Our seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site, so there’s no waiting for special orders or dealing with multiple pieces that don’t fit properly. One day of work gives you decades of protection.
