On Long Island's South Shore, the hamlet of Islip runs down to the Great South Bay across from Fire Island, on flat ground where the water table sits close to the surface near the shore. Its housing reflects a long history: older village homes near Main Street, grand waterfront houses on Bayberry Point, and postwar Capes, ranches and Colonials on the blocks in between. Low, flat lots do not shed water on their own, so roof runoff dropped at the foundation tends to pond or seep into crawlspaces and basements. Homes near the bay also face salt air and wind-driven rain from nor'easters. Well-sized seamless gutters and a plan for leader water are basic protection here.
Main Street, part of Route 27A, is home to town hall for the Town of Islip, and the hamlet is tied together by Route 111 (Islip Avenue), Sunrise Highway and the Heckscher State Parkway. Bayberry Point is known for its 1916 Moorish-style waterfront houses. The southeastern corner holds the Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge, 196 acres of tidal marsh and upland on the bay. Residents fish, clam, swim and boat on the Great South Bay, and a public bathing beach sits along the shore. From the older blocks near Main Street to the waterfront houses on Bayberry Point, we install and service seamless gutters across Islip.
On Islip's flat, low-lying lots, Island Gutters' hand-dug drainage is often the most important service: leaders tied to underground pipe and leach basins or extension tails, installed without heavy equipment that would rut lawns or crack pavers. Near the bay, seamless Alcoa aluminum or copper resists salt air. Soft-wash roof cleaning removes the dark staining common in damp shoreline air, and vented vinyl soffit helps attics stay dry.

Islip is flat, and near the bay the water table is close to the surface, so runoff has little slope or room to drain. Leaders that empty beside the house add to the problem. Carrying that water underground to a leach basin or out through extension tails can help where conditions allow. Island Gutters digs drainage by hand and offers free assessments.
Aluminum and copper both resist corrosion from salt air. Island Gutters' standard product is seamless Alcoa aluminum, fabricated on site, and copper is available for owners who want a premium, long-lasting finish. Gutter installations carry a 25-year warranty on materials and labor.
Because Island Gutters fabricates seamless gutters on site, runs are cut and formed to fit the actual house, including long or irregular eaves. Half-round in 6-inch, the company's recommended size for most homes, or 8-inch heavy-duty suits larger and more architectural roofs, and copper is available. Custom chimney caps in stainless or copper can complete the job.
Yes. Island Gutters offers a soft-wash roof cleaning, sometimes called a roof shampoo, that removes dark streaks and growth without power washing. The crew also inspects the roof during gutter cleaning, which helps catch loose shingles or flashing issues after a nor'easter.
