You’ll sleep better during heavy storms knowing your gutters are doing their job. No more water pooling around your foundation or streaking down your siding.
Properly installed seamless gutters channel thousands of gallons away from your home every year. That means your basement stays dry, your landscaping doesn’t get washed away, and your foundation remains stable.
The right gutter system pays for itself by preventing one major water damage incident. You’re not just buying gutters—you’re buying peace of mind and protecting your biggest investment.
We’ve been serving Shelter Island Heights and Suffolk County homeowners for years. We understand how Long Island’s coastal weather affects your gutters—from nor’easters to summer downpours.
We’re not just a gutter company. Our roofing and chimney expertise means we see how all your exterior systems work together. That’s why our gutter installations last longer and perform better.
When you call us, you’re working with contractors who show up on time, clean up after ourselves, and stand behind our work. No disappearing acts or half-finished jobs.
First, we measure your roofline and assess your current drainage situation. Every home is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.
Next, we fabricate your seamless gutters on-site to exact specifications. No joints means fewer leak points. We install with proper pitch and secure mounting that handles Long Island wind loads.
Finally, we test the entire system to ensure water flows correctly to downspouts and away from your foundation. You’ll see exactly how it works before we leave. We also clean up completely—no nails or metal scraps left behind.

Our gutter services cover installation, repair, cleaning, and ongoing maintenance. We work with aluminum and copper gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch sizes to match your home’s needs.
Gutter guards and leaf protection systems eliminate the dangerous ladder climbing and constant cleaning. These systems pay for themselves in reduced maintenance and prevent ice dam formation during Long Island winters.
We also handle full downspout installation and can design custom drainage solutions for challenging properties. Whether you need a complete replacement or targeted repairs, we have the experience to solve your specific water management challenges.
Quality seamless aluminum gutters typically last 15-20 years in our coastal environment, while copper gutters can last 50+ years with proper maintenance. The key factors are proper installation with correct pitch and secure mounting that withstands our wind loads.
Seamless gutters last significantly longer than sectional gutters because there are fewer joints to fail. Most gutter problems we see are from improper installation rather than material failure. When gutters are pitched correctly and securely fastened, they handle our heavy rains and winter conditions without issues.
Regular maintenance extends gutter life considerably. Even the best gutters need occasional cleaning and inspection, but a well-installed seamless system requires much less frequent attention than cheaper alternatives.
Most homes in Shelter Island Heights perform well with 5-inch gutters, but larger homes or those with steep roofs often need 6-inch gutters for proper water handling. The decision depends on your roof area, pitch, and local rainfall patterns.
Six-inch gutters move 40% more water than 5-inch systems, which matters during our heavy downpours and rapid snowmelt. Homes with complex rooflines or multiple stories typically benefit from the larger capacity, especially on Long Island where storms can dump several inches quickly.
We calculate the right size based on your specific roof area and pitch. Undersized gutters overflow during heavy rains, while properly sized gutters handle even extreme weather events without problems.
Quality gutter guards significantly reduce maintenance and prevent most clogs, but not all guards work the same way. The key is choosing the right type for Long Island’s mix of deciduous trees and coastal conditions.
Micro-mesh guards work best here because they keep out pine needles, maple seeds, and the small debris that clogs gutters. Solid covers and cheap screens often create more problems than they solve, especially with our occasional ice formation.
Good gutter guards pay for themselves by eliminating dangerous ladder climbing and reducing cleaning frequency from twice yearly to every few years. They also prevent ice dams by maintaining proper water flow during freeze-thaw cycles.
Professional seamless gutter installation typically runs $8-15 per linear foot depending on material, home complexity, and additional features like gutter guards. A typical Shelter Island Heights home averages $1,200-2,500 for complete installation.
Aluminum gutters cost less upfront but copper gutters offer superior longevity and appearance for historic or high-end homes. The installation complexity matters more than material choice for most projects—simple ranch homes cost less than multi-story homes with complex rooflines.
Quality installation costs more initially but saves money long-term through reduced maintenance and fewer repairs. Cheap installations often fail within a few years, requiring complete replacement rather than simple fixes.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for gutter installation, but we work year-round when weather permits. The key is scheduling before your current gutters fail completely and cause water damage.
Spring installation prepares your home for summer storm season, while fall installation ensures you’re ready for winter ice and snow loads. We recommend avoiding installation during active storm periods, but mild winter days work fine for urgent repairs.
Don’t wait for complete failure. Sagging gutters, frequent overflows, or visible separation at joints indicate it’s time for replacement. Addressing problems early prevents water damage that costs far more than new gutters.
New seamless gutters need minimal maintenance compared to sectional systems, but annual inspection and occasional cleaning keep them performing optimally. Most homeowners can handle basic maintenance or hire professionals for safety.
Check gutters twice yearly—spring and fall—for debris accumulation, proper drainage, and secure mounting. Clear minor clogs promptly and ensure downspouts direct water away from your foundation. Look for any separation or sagging that indicates mounting issues.
We offer maintenance plans that include cleaning, inspection, and minor adjustments to keep your gutter system working properly for decades. Professional maintenance every 2-3 years catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.
