Northport's Victorian village center, where trolley rails still run down Main Street to the harbor, is surrounded by 19th-century homes, cottages and later houses built on streets that drop steeply toward the water. On those hills, runoff moves fast. A clogged or undersized gutter on an uphill house can send water across walkways and into the yards below, and the village has invested in stormwater projects to deal with heavy rain. Older homes often have ornate trim, porches and complex roof shapes that need careful gutter work. Close to Northport Harbor, damp salt air also takes a toll on painted wood and lower-quality metals.
Main Street is the spine of Northport, running from the Village Green past shops and restaurants down to Northport Memorial Park on the harborfront. Incorporated in 1894, it was the first village in the Town of Huntington. The four 600-foot stacks of the Northport Power Station are visible for miles, and Eatons Neck, the Village of Asharoken and the hamlet of East Northport are all nearby. The harbor is one of the most sheltered on Long Island Sound. Permits, beach passes and stormwater projects like the Valley Avenue mitigation work are handled by the Village of Northport. From the steep streets above the harbor to the 19th-century homes around the village center, we install and service seamless gutters throughout Northport.
Victorian and older village homes are a natural fit for half-round and copper gutters fabricated on site to follow complex rooflines. On steep lots, hand-dug underground drainage moves leader water where it will not wash across neighbors' yards, without heavy machinery damaging old trees or stone walls. Near the harbor, Alcoa aluminum, Galvalume and copper stand up to salt air, and aluminum trim-coil capping protects exposed wood.

Northport is an incorporated village with its own building department, and some exterior projects require village approval, particularly for older homes near the historic center. Rules can change, so check with Northport Village Hall before starting. We are happy to provide details about materials and layout for any application.
Half-round gutters are a traditional look for Victorian architecture, and copper adds a classic finish that weathers to a patina. We recommend 6-inch half-round for most homes for capacity. Everything is fabricated on site, so we can follow porches, bays and other details of older rooflines.
We can collect your leader water in underground drainage lines, leach basins or extension tails and release it where it will soak in on your property. Our crews dig by hand, which protects mature trees and hardscape common on Northport's hillside lots.
Homes near Northport Harbor are exposed to salt and moisture that can wear down materials and paint over time. Alcoa aluminum, Galvalume and copper are all durable options. Regular cleaning, which includes a roof inspection, also helps a system last longer.
