When your gutters work right, you don’t think about them. No more water pooling around your foundation during those heavy Long Island storms. No more staining on your siding or damage to your landscaping.
Properly installed seamless gutters handle everything coastal weather throws at them. They channel water exactly where it needs to go, keeping it away from your home’s structure and your expensive outdoor investments.
You get peace of mind knowing your gutter system can handle the next big storm without creating bigger problems.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Long Island homes for years. We understand what salt air and coastal storms do to gutter systems, and we know which materials and installation methods actually last.
When you’re dealing with the unique challenges of waterfront living in Mecox, you need contractors who’ve seen it all. We’ve installed gutters on everything from traditional Hamptons estates to modern coastal homes.
Our team handles the complete job from initial assessment to final cleanup, so you’re not coordinating between multiple contractors.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roofline, drainage needs, and any existing issues. Every home is different, especially in coastal areas where water management is critical.
Next, we measure and fabricate your seamless gutters on-site. This eliminates joints and seams that typically fail first. We install proper hangers and brackets designed for your specific roof type and local wind loads.
Finally, we test the entire system to ensure proper water flow and drainage. You’ll see exactly how your new gutters perform before we consider the job complete.

Our gutter services cover everything you need for Long Island coastal conditions. Seamless aluminum gutters resist corrosion and handle heavy rainfall. Copper gutters offer premium durability for luxury homes.
Gutter guards eliminate most cleaning needs while preventing ice dams during winter months. We install 5-inch gutters for standard applications and 6-inch gutters for homes with large roof areas or heavy tree coverage.
Maintenance plans keep your system working year-round. In Mecox’s coastal environment, regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. We also provide emergency repair services when storms damage existing systems.
Most Mecox homes need 6-inch gutters rather than standard 5-inch systems. Coastal areas get intense rainfall during storms, and larger gutters handle the volume without overflowing.
The extra capacity also helps when leaves and debris accumulate, which happens frequently with the mature trees common in established Mecox neighborhoods. Undersized gutters create overflow problems that damage foundations and landscaping.
We assess your specific roof area and local drainage challenges to recommend the right size for your property.
Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site as one continuous piece, eliminating the joints where sectional gutters typically leak. This matters especially in coastal environments where salt air accelerates corrosion at connection points.
Sectional gutters have seams every 10-20 feet that require ongoing maintenance and eventually fail. Seamless systems only have joints at corners and downspouts, dramatically reducing potential leak points.
The result is a cleaner appearance and much longer lifespan, particularly important for the investment-grade homes common in Mecox.
Gutter guards make sense for most Mecox properties, especially with oak and maple trees that drop significant debris. Without guards, you’re looking at cleaning gutters 3-4 times per year minimum.
Quality gutter guards block leaves and large debris while allowing water to flow freely. They also prevent birds and small animals from nesting in your gutters, which creates additional blockage problems.
The upfront investment pays for itself in reduced maintenance costs and eliminates the safety risks of frequent ladder work for cleaning.
Aluminum gutters with proper coating handle salt air well and offer the best value for most coastal homes. They resist corrosion and maintain their appearance for decades with minimal maintenance.
Copper gutters provide premium durability and develop an attractive patina over time, making them popular for luxury properties. They’re more expensive initially but can last 50+ years in coastal conditions.
We avoid steel gutters in Mecox due to rust issues from salt exposure. The material choice depends on your budget, home style, and long-term maintenance preferences.
Coastal gutters need inspection twice yearly – spring and fall – due to increased exposure to salt air and storm debris. Salt accelerates wear on hangers and brackets, while storms can shift or damage sections.
Regular maintenance includes checking for proper drainage, cleaning out accumulated debris, and ensuring downspouts direct water away from foundations. We also inspect for loose hangers that could allow sagging.
Our maintenance plans include these inspections plus any minor repairs needed to prevent major problems. It’s much less expensive than dealing with water damage from failed gutters.
Protecting your landscaping is part of professional installation. We use drop cloths and temporary barriers to shield plants and hardscaping during the work process.
Our team plans access routes that minimize impact on your property. We also coordinate timing with seasonal planting schedules when possible, avoiding installation during peak growing periods.
Any necessary cleanup is included in our service. Your landscaping investment stays protected while you get the gutter system your home needs.
