You know that sinking feeling when you spot water pooling around your foundation after a storm. Or when you notice that sagging section pulling away from your house, threatening to dump hundreds of gallons right where you don’t want it.
Here’s what changes when your gutters actually work the way they should. Rain gets channeled away from your foundation instead of creating expensive problems underneath your home. Your landscaping stays intact instead of getting washed out every season. You stop worrying about ice dams forming in winter, and you can actually enjoy those Long Island storms instead of dreading them.
Most importantly, you avoid the kind of water damage that turns a small repair into a major restoration project.
We’ve been fixing gutters the right way for Suffolk County homeowners who understand that quality work matters. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s exactly why you should call us.
When you’re dealing with Baiting Hollow’s coastal weather conditions, you need someone who knows how nor’easters and summer thunderstorms affect your home’s drainage. Our team has spent decades working specifically in this area, so we understand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to keeping water away from your foundation.
We’re fully licensed, properly insured, and we show up when we say we will. No surprises, no runarounds, just honest work done by people who’ve been doing this long enough to get it right.
First, we inspect your entire gutter system, not just the obvious problem areas. We check for proper pitch, secure fasteners, joint integrity, and downspout flow. Most contractors miss the small issues that turn into big problems later.
Next, we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. You’ll understand whether you’re dealing with a simple re-attachment, need new sections, or if there’s a bigger drainage issue we need to address. No technical jargon, just straight talk about what’s wrong and how we’ll fix it.
Then we get to work using materials that can handle Long Island’s weather extremes. We don’t just patch problems—we fix them so they stay fixed. Every repair gets tested to make sure water flows where it should, and we clean up completely when we’re done.
You’ll know the job is finished right when you can watch the next rainstorm without worrying about where that water is going.

Our gutter repair service covers everything from fixing sagging gutters and sealing leaky joints to re-attaching loose sections and correcting improper pitch. We also handle downspout repairs, including clearing blockages and reinstalling sections that have come loose during storms.
For Baiting Hollow homeowners, we pay special attention to ice dam prevention and coastal weather durability. Your repair includes proper fastening techniques that can handle the wind loads we get during nor’easters, plus materials rated for the salt air and temperature swings that are part of living near the water.
Every repair comes with our assessment of your overall gutter health, so you’ll know if there are other areas that might need attention down the road. We believe in fixing what needs fixing now and helping you plan for what might need attention later, rather than leaving you to discover problems during the next big storm.
If your gutters are pulling away from the house, have visible rust or holes, or aren’t draining properly, you likely need repairs rather than replacement. Most gutter problems can be fixed effectively if caught early enough.
Look for water stains on your siding, pooling water near your foundation, or gutters that visibly sag between supports. These are clear signs that something needs attention. However, if your gutters are old aluminum with multiple problem areas, or if the fascia board behind them is rotting, replacement might be more cost-effective than trying to patch multiple issues.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense for your situation or if you’d be better served with a complete replacement.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common problems we see, especially after the kind of wind events that hit Suffolk County during nor’easters and summer storms. Usually, the issue is inadequate or failed fasteners that can’t handle the weight of water plus wind load.
We re-secure gutters using proper fasteners spaced at the right intervals and rated for your specific situation. This often means upgrading from the original installation hardware to something more robust. We also check that your gutters have the right pitch to prevent water from sitting and adding unnecessary weight during storms.
The repair typically involves reinforcing the fascia board if needed, installing new brackets or hangers, and making sure everything is properly aligned to handle both the water flow and the weather conditions you get here on Long Island.
Joint leaks usually happen because the original sealant has failed due to temperature changes, or because the gutter sections have shifted and are no longer properly aligned. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on gutter joints.
We fix joint leaks by cleaning out the old sealant, realigning the gutter sections if necessary, and applying new professional-grade sealant that can handle temperature extremes. Sometimes the issue is that the gutters have sagged slightly, which puts stress on the joints and causes them to separate.
The key is addressing not just the leak itself, but whatever caused the joint to fail in the first place. That might mean adjusting the pitch, adding support, or replacing a section that’s been compromised by repeated expansion and contraction.
When done properly with the right materials, gutter repairs should last 10-15 years or more, even with the salt air and weather extremes we get here. The key is using materials and techniques that are appropriate for coastal conditions rather than trying to save money with quick fixes.
We use fasteners and sealants that are specifically rated for marine environments, which means they won’t corrode or fail as quickly as standard materials. We also make sure repairs are done when weather conditions allow for proper curing and installation.
The repairs that fail quickly are usually ones where someone tried to patch a problem without addressing the underlying cause, or used materials that aren’t suitable for the conditions. Our approach is to fix it right the first time so you don’t have to deal with the same problem again in a year or two.
Yes, cleaning is an essential part of any gutter repair. We can’t properly assess what needs fixing or test our repairs without starting with clean gutters and downspouts. You’ll get that cleaning included in your repair service.
We remove all debris, flush the downspouts to make sure they’re flowing properly, and check for any damage that might have been hidden under leaves or sediment. Sometimes what looks like a major problem is actually just a clogged downspout, and sometimes cleaning reveals additional issues that need attention.
After we complete the repairs, we test everything with water to make sure it’s working correctly. This also gives us a chance to show you that the repairs are effective and explain any maintenance recommendations that will help prevent future problems.
Properly functioning gutters are definitely part of ice dam prevention, though they’re not the only factor. When gutters drain properly and don’t have areas where water sits and freezes, you’re much less likely to get the ice buildup that causes dams.
We make sure your gutters have the right pitch so water flows out instead of pooling, and we check that downspouts are clear and positioned to drain away from areas where ice might form. We also look at whether your gutters are properly sized for your roof area, because undersized gutters can overflow and create ice problems.
However, ice dams are also influenced by attic insulation and ventilation, so if you’re having recurring ice dam problems, we might recommend having those areas evaluated as well. The gutter repair is an important piece of the solution, but sometimes it takes a comprehensive approach to completely solve ice dam issues.
