Blue Point gave its name to one of the most famous oysters in the country, a reminder of how closely the hamlet is tied to the Great South Bay. Much of the hamlet is low and level, and near the water the soil stays damp for long stretches after a rain. Its homes are a mix of older bungalows and farmhouse-style houses, postwar Capes and ranches, and newer homes on the streets near the bay. Tall trees drop leaves and seed pods into gutters each season, and when those gutters overflow the water ends up against the foundation. Clear gutters and leaders that carry water well away from the house are the difference between a dry basement and a damp one.
Between Bayport and Patchogue, Blue Point is low, level ground running down to the Great South Bay, the water that made Blue Point oysters famous. Most folks know the hamlet by Blue Point Avenue, which runs from Montauk Highway toward the bay past the elementary school and the Bayport-Blue Point Public Library, now in the renovated former St. Ursula Center. Off the avenue you'll find older bungalows and farmhouse-style homes, postwar Capes and ranches, and newer houses on the streets closest to the water. Because the hamlet is unincorporated, permits run through the Town of Brookhaven. From Montauk Highway down to the bayfront blocks, we install and service seamless gutters throughout Blue Point.
For Blue Point's damp, low-lying lots, hand-dug underground drainage is often the most useful service we provide. Leaders tie into leach basins or extension tails placed where the ground can absorb water, with no machines on the lawn. Alcoa Leaf Relief handles leaf and pod drop from mature trees, and seamless aluminum gutters built on site eliminate the seams where older sectional gutters tend to leak. Vented vinyl soffit helps attics breathe in humid bay weather.

Near the bay the ground is flat and groundwater sits close to the surface, so water from a leader has little room to soak in next to the house. Clogged or undersized gutters make it worse. We can clean or replace the gutters and route leaders underground to a leach basin or extension tail farther from the foundation.
No. Blue Point is an unincorporated hamlet, so it falls under the Town of Brookhaven rather than a separate village government. For larger drainage or exterior projects, the Town of Brookhaven is the place to check on any permit requirements. We are happy to discuss your project during a free estimate.
Alcoa Leaf Relief is all aluminum, so it will not warp or crack the way plastic and vinyl guards can. We are a certified Leaf Relief contractor and recommend it for homes under mature trees, which describes many Blue Point streets. It keeps leaves out while still letting heavy rain flow into the gutter.
Yes. We replace damaged fascia board and can cap fascia and trim with aluminum trim coil so it is protected from the weather going forward. Doing this before new gutters go up gives the gutters a solid surface to attach to. We also install vented vinyl soffit if your eaves need it.
