When your gutters work right, everything else falls into place. Your foundation stays solid. Your basement stays dry. Your landscaping stays intact.
You stop watching the weather forecast with dread. Heavy rains become just another day instead of a potential disaster waiting to happen.
That’s what proper gutter installation does for Speonk homeowners. It takes the anxiety out of storm season and puts protection where it belongs—working quietly in the background, doing its job.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been protecting Speonk homes for over two decades. We’ve seen what nor’easters do to unprepared gutter systems.
We’ve cleaned up after ice dams that could have been prevented. We’ve replaced gutters that failed because they weren’t designed for our climate.
That experience shapes how we approach every installation. We use materials that handle 45+ inches of annual precipitation and winter storms that dump 20 inches of snow. Because in Speonk, your gutters need to be tougher than average.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s drainage needs. Every roof is different, and Speonk’s coastal weather creates unique challenges that require specific solutions.
Next, we custom-fit seamless gutters on-site using our professional equipment. No joints means no weak points where leaks typically start. We install proper hangers and brackets that won’t fail under ice load.
Finally, we test the entire system and show you how it works. You’ll understand how water flows from your roof to safe drainage areas away from your foundation. We clean up completely and leave you with gutters that are ready for whatever Long Island weather brings.

Our gutter services include seamless installation, repair work, cleaning, and gutter guard systems. We work with aluminum, copper, and steel materials in 5-inch and 6-inch sizes to match your home’s specific needs.
For Speonk homes, we recommend gutter guards to handle the heavy leaf fall from Long Island’s mature tree population. These systems prevent clogs that lead to ice dams during winter months.
We also offer maintenance plans that keep your gutters functioning properly year-round. Regular cleaning and inspection prevent small problems from becoming expensive repairs, especially important given our area’s challenging weather patterns.
Most Speonk homes need 5-inch gutters, but larger homes or those with steep roofs often require 6-inch systems to handle Long Island’s heavy rainfall. With over 45 inches of annual precipitation, undersized gutters quickly become overwhelmed.
We calculate the right size based on your roof’s square footage, pitch, and the maximum rainfall rate for our area. Coastal storms can dump significant amounts of water in short periods, so proper sizing prevents overflow that damages foundations and landscaping.
Properly functioning gutters allow melted snow to drain away before it refreezes at roof edges. When gutters are clogged or poorly installed, water backs up and creates ice dams that can tear gutters off homes and cause interior water damage.
We install gutters with proper slope and use heavy-duty hangers that support ice loads. Gutter guards prevent leaf buildup that blocks drainage, and our seamless design eliminates joints where ice typically forms first.
Regular fall cleaning removes debris before winter, ensuring water flows freely when snow starts melting during temperature fluctuations.
Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site in continuous pieces for each side of your roof, eliminating joints where leaks typically develop. Sectional gutters come in pre-made pieces that connect together, creating potential failure points.
For Long Island’s harsh weather, seamless gutters perform significantly better. They handle thermal expansion and contraction without separating, and there are fewer places for ice to form and cause damage.
We fabricate seamless gutters using professional equipment right at your home, ensuring perfect fit and eliminating the weak points that cause most gutter problems.
Speonk homes typically need gutter cleaning twice per year—once in late fall after leaves drop and again in early spring before heavy rain season begins. Homes with many nearby trees may need additional cleanings.
Fall cleaning prevents ice dam formation by ensuring proper drainage before winter. Spring cleaning removes debris that accumulated during winter storms and prepares gutters for our area’s heaviest rainfall periods.
Regular cleaning also allows us to spot small problems like loose hangers or minor leaks before they become expensive repairs that require gutter replacement.
Quality gutter guards significantly reduce maintenance needs and prevent the clogs that lead to ice dams. However, not all gutter guard systems work well with Long Island’s specific challenges—heavy leaf fall, ice formation, and coastal storms.
We install gutter guards designed for our climate, with materials that won’t crack in freezing temperatures and designs that shed ice rather than collecting it. The investment pays for itself through reduced cleaning costs and prevented ice damage.
Cheaper gutter guards often fail within a few years, but professional-grade systems last decades and maintain proper water flow even during our heaviest storms.
Ice accumulation creates enormous weight that standard gutter hangers can’t support, causing gutters to separate from fascia boards. Poor installation using inadequate fasteners also leads to failure during storms or when gutters fill with debris.
We use heavy-duty hangers spaced properly for Long Island’s ice loads and secure them into solid wood, not just fascia boards. This prevents the pulling and sagging that damages both gutters and your home’s exterior.
Clogged gutters that overflow also cause water damage to fascia boards, weakening the attachment points over time. Proper installation and maintenance prevent these expensive problems.
