Leaves, pine needles and seed pods are the number one reason Long Island gutters overflow. Once a gutter clogs, rain spills over the front edge, soaks the fascia, stains siding and pours down beside the foundation. In winter, wet debris freezes solid and turns the whole gutter into a block of ice.
Island Gutters installs Alcoa Leaf Relief, a rigid, all-aluminum leaf protection system that keeps debris out while letting heavy rain in. It fits most existing seamless gutters, so in many cases we can add leaf protection without replacing your system. If your gutters are undersized or failing, we will install new seamless gutters and Leaf Relief together.
We do not install plastic or vinyl guards. They sag and warp with Long Island's temperature swings, collapse into the gutter and can be ripped loose in a windstorm.

We install Alcoa Leaf Relief, an all-aluminum leaf protection system. Island Gutters is a preferred Leaf Relief contractor, and it is the only gutter protection system we install and support.
In most cases, yes. Leaf Relief fits most existing gutter systems. If your gutters are sagging, leaking or undersized, we may recommend new seamless gutters with leaf protection installed at the same time.
Plastic guards lack rigidity. They react to Long Island's temperature swings, sag into the gutter, clog with debris and can be torn loose in strong wind. Solid aluminum holds its shape for the long term.
Gutters most often freeze solid when they are packed with wet leaves. Keeping leaves out lets water drain, which greatly reduces ice buildup and the overflow that can lead to wet basements in winter.
