You’ve seen what happens during those intense Shelter Island storms—water cascading down your siding, pooling around your foundation, turning your landscaping into a swamp. It’s not just annoying. It’s expensive.
With our properly installed seamless gutters, that water gets channeled exactly where it needs to go. Away from your foundation. Away from your basement. Away from everything you’ve invested in protecting.
The difference between functional gutters and decorative ones comes down to understanding how water actually behaves on your specific property and installing a system designed for those conditions.
SkyLuxe Construction is a family business with decades of exterior renovation experience throughout Suffolk County. We’re not learning on your property.
What that means for you is contractors who understand Long Island’s weather patterns, local building requirements, and the specific drainage challenges Shelter Island homes face. Every gutter installation project gets personal oversight from our family to yours.
We’ve seen what happens when gutters are installed wrong. More importantly, we’ve perfected the process that prevents those problems before they cost you thousands in water damage repairs.
We start by assessing your home’s specific drainage requirements—measuring roof area, calculating proper slopes, and identifying potential problem areas. Every home is different, especially on Shelter Island where lot grades and proximity to water create unique challenges.
Your seamless gutters are fabricated on-site to exact measurements. No joints means no weak points where leaks typically develop. We use proper hangers spaced correctly for Long Island wind loads and ensure downspouts are positioned to direct water away from your foundation.
Before we leave, we test the entire system and show you exactly how it works. You’ll understand what proper water flow looks like and what to watch for during maintenance.

Your residential gutter installation includes seamless aluminum gutters, properly sized downspouts, quality hangers, and all necessary components for secure mounting. We don’t cut corners on hardware because that’s where most failures start.
Shelter Island sees everything from nor’easters dumping inches of rain in hours to summer storms with intense wind-driven precipitation. Your gutter system is sized and positioned to handle that reality, not some national average that doesn’t account for our coastal weather patterns.
Each commercial gutter system installation includes proper slope calculations for efficient drainage, secure fascia mounting that won’t pull away during storms, and downspout placement that actually protects your foundation and landscaping from water damage.
Professional gutter installation typically costs $12 to $25 per linear foot including materials and labor. The exact price depends on your home’s specific requirements, gutter material choice, and any additional components needed for proper drainage.
Most Shelter Island homes need 100 to 200 linear feet of guttering. A typical 2,000 square foot home runs $2,400 to $5,000 for a complete seamless gutter system with downspouts and proper mounting hardware.
We provide detailed, transparent pricing upfront so you understand exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site to your home’s exact measurements, eliminating the joints every 10 feet where most leaks develop. Sectional gutters have seams that can separate over time, especially during Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles.
For Shelter Island homes, seamless is almost always the better investment. Our weather is tough on gutter systems, and those seam points are where problems start. Seamless gutters handle heavy rainfall more effectively and require significantly less maintenance over their lifespan.
The upfront cost difference is minimal compared to avoiding years of leak repairs and water damage issues that sectional gutters often develop.
Quality aluminum gutters with professional installation typically last 20 to 30 years in Long Island conditions. The key factors are using materials designed for our coastal climate and having them installed correctly from the start.
Shelter Island’s salt air, temperature extremes, and severe weather can be brutal on inferior gutter systems. Cheap materials or poor installation can fail in just a few years, leading to expensive water damage repairs.
We use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s challenging conditions and back our gutter installation work with warranties that reflect our confidence in long-term performance.
Gutter guards can be beneficial if you have significant tree coverage near your roofline. They reduce cleaning frequency and help prevent clogs during heavy storms when you need gutters working most.
However, guards aren’t maintenance-free. You’ll still need periodic inspection and cleaning, just less frequently. The decision depends on your specific property conditions, tree coverage, and how much ongoing maintenance you prefer to handle.
We assess your situation during the estimate and recommend whether gutter guards make sense for your home’s location and your maintenance preferences.
Most residential homes perform well with 5-inch gutters, but properties with large roof areas, steep pitches, or multiple roof sections often benefit from 6-inch gutter systems. The right size depends on your roof’s total square footage and water collection area.
Shelter Island can experience intense rainfall that undersized gutters simply can’t handle effectively. When gutters overflow, you lose all the protection they’re supposed to provide, and water ends up exactly where you don’t want it.
We calculate proper gutter sizing based on your specific roof dimensions, pitch, and local rainfall data rather than using generic recommendations that don’t account for Long Island weather patterns.
Most residential gutter installations are completed in one to two days, depending on your home’s size, complexity, and weather conditions. We don’t rush installations because quality work takes the time it takes.
We schedule rain gutter installer services based on weather forecasts to ensure optimal installation conditions. Trying to install gutters in poor weather or rushing to meet unrealistic deadlines is how problems develop that cost you more later.
You’ll have a clear timeline before work begins, and we communicate immediately about any changes due to weather or unexpected conditions we discover during installation.
