Gutter Installation & Replacement in Long Island, NY

If your gutters are sagging, leaking, rusting, or pulling away from your home, it’s likely time for new gutters. On Long Island, heavy rainfall from nor’easters and summer storms can accelerate wear and tear, making timely replacement important to help protect your home from water damage.

Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable. In Long Island, aluminum gutters handle heavy rainfall from nor’easters and resist corrosion from coastal salt air. Copper is another excellent option, offering a premium, long-lasting solution that develops a distinctive patina in the region’s humid climate.

Most professional gutter installations on Long Island are completed in one day. Larger homes or properties with complex rooflines may require additional time. The timeline can also vary based on whether you’re installing new gutters or replacing an existing system. Long Island’s coastal weather conditions may occasionally affect scheduling.

The right gutter size depends on your roof area and local weather patterns. Most Long Island homes do well with 5-inch gutters. However, 6-inch gutters are often a better choice for larger roofs or homes with steep pitches. The bigger size helps handle heavy rainfall from nor’easters and coastal storms that regularly hit Long Island’s North and South shores.
