Jericho's roots go back to Quaker settlers in the seventeenth century, but most of its homes date from the postwar boom that turned farmland into neighborhoods of split-levels, ranches, Colonials and, more recently, large rebuilt houses. Many original homes have been expanded with second stories and additions, which often leaves gutters and leaders undersized for the new roof area. The land is fairly level, so water discharged near a foundation tends to linger rather than run off. Decades-old street and yard trees now drop heavy loads of leaves into rain gutters each fall. Matching gutter capacity to today's rooflines and getting leader water away from the house are the main concerns for Jericho owners.
Before 1692 this hamlet was called Lusum, and Jericho still has its Friends Meeting House, built in 1788 and in use today. The building now known as One North, once the Maine Maid Inn, is remembered as a former Underground Railroad station. Jericho Turnpike, Broadway and Routes 106 and 107 cross the hamlet, SUNY Old Westbury's main entrance borders it, and the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway are both close by. Being unincorporated, Jericho falls under the Town of Oyster Bay. From expanded split-levels and ranches to large rebuilt houses on the postwar blocks, we install and service seamless gutters sized for today's rooflines throughout Jericho.
Expanded Jericho homes often need higher-capacity gutters, such as 6-inch K-style or the 6-inch half-round Island Gutters recommends for most homes, fabricated seamlessly on site. On level lots, hand-dug leach basins and extension tails carry leader water away without heavy equipment damaging lawns, pavers or irrigation. Alcoa Leaf Relief guards handle mature-tree debris, and low-voltage LED landscape lighting can round out exterior upgrades on newer builds.

Maybe not. Additions increase the roof area draining into each gutter and leader. Island Gutters offers 5-inch K-style for typical homes, 6-inch K-style for higher capacity, and 6-inch half-round, which it recommends for most homes. A free estimate can check whether your current system is keeping up.
Jericho is an unincorporated hamlet, so building permits generally go through the Town of Oyster Bay rather than a village. Gutter replacement is usually simple, but it is worth confirming current requirements with the town before larger drainage projects. Island Gutters can provide product details for any application.
Yes. On level lots, leader water discharged at the house often has nowhere to go. Island Gutters can pipe it underground to a leach basin or out through extension tails, digging by hand so patios, pavers, lawns and irrigation stay intact. The company has installed more than 1,000 drainage systems on Long Island.
Island Gutters is a preferred and certified Alcoa Leaf Relief contractor. Leaf Relief is all aluminum, so it resists warping and holds up under wet leaves and snow. The company advises against plastic or vinyl guards, which can crack and sag. Guards cut down on cleanings under Jericho's mature trees.
