Hillside driveways that wind down toward the harbor are a signature of Centerport, and so is the challenge they create for roof water. On sloped lots, rain from gutters and leaders picks up speed as it moves downhill, washing out beds, undermining walkways and sometimes pooling against a neighbor's foundation or your own lower level. The hamlet's housing runs from colonial-era saltboxes and older waterfront homes to midcentury houses and newer builds with harbor views, often under mature oaks. Wind off Northport Bay and Centerport Harbor pushes rain against eaves during storms. Well-sized gutters and a plan for where each leader discharges help keep hillside homes dry and landscaping in place.
Centerport wraps around Centerport Harbor, halfway between the Town of Huntington's east and west borders, which is where the name comes from. Route 25A curves past the Mill Pond on its way through the hamlet, and up on Little Neck Road the Vanderbilt Museum, William K. Vanderbilt II's Eagle's Nest estate and planetarium, looks out over the water. Locals know the 1730 Suydam House saltbox and the sailboats of the Centerport Yacht Club, and the history of Centerport goes back to its days as Little Cow Harbor, part of Long Island's Gold Coast. From the harbor streets to the hillside driveways off Route 25A, we install and service seamless gutters throughout Centerport.
Sloped Centerport lots are a good match for our hand-dug drainage: we carry leader water underground to leach basins or extension tails without driving machines over steep lawns or tight driveways. Alcoa Leaf Relief suits homes under big oaks, and seamless half-round or K-style gutters are fabricated on site to fit older and newer rooflines alike. Aluminum trim-coil capping and fascia replacement protect wood trim from harbor moisture.

On hillside Centerport lots, leader water can erode soil and collect at the bottom of the slope. We connect leaders to underground drainage lines that release into a leach basin or extension tail placed where the water can soak in. Everything is dug by hand, which works well on steep yards and protects your landscaping.
Older and colonial-style homes often look best with half-round gutters, and we recommend 6-inch half-round for most houses. Copper is a classic choice, and Galvalume and Alcoa aluminum are available as well. We fabricate seamless gutters on site so the runs fit the house exactly.

Yes. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance programs include a roof inspection while we are up there. Homes under mature oaks usually need regular attention in fall. If you want fewer cleanings, we can install Alcoa Leaf Relief, the all-aluminum guard we recommend.
