Old Westbury is a village of large estates, with about 1,200 homes spread over more than eight square miles of rolling land, horse properties and woods. Houses here are often grand in scale, with slate or tile roofs, multiple wings, dormers and long runs of eave that collect enormous amounts of water. Mature trees shade many properties and fill gutters quickly. Because homes sit on expansive lawns and landscaped grounds, moving roof water away from foundations without damaging gardens, drives and irrigation is a real concern. Gutters on these homes need to handle the volume and look right on some of the most distinctive architecture on Long Island.
Formed in 1924, Old Westbury straddles the Towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay, with the Long Island Expressway and Old Westbury Road crossing a landscape of rolling land, horse properties and woods. Large estate homes, many with slate or tile roofs, multiple wings and dormers, sit on expansive lawns and landscaped grounds. The best-known landmark is Old Westbury Gardens, the former Phipps estate, with its 1906 Westbury House and 160 acres of formal gardens. SUNY Old Westbury, New York Institute of Technology and the Meadow Brook Polo Club are here too, and local matters go through the Village of Old Westbury. From the horse properties to the grand estate homes set back in the woods, we install and maintain seamless gutters throughout Old Westbury.
Estate homes are a natural fit for copper half-round gutters, 6-inch half-round, or 8-inch heavy-duty half-round on very large roofs, all fabricated on site. Alcoa Leaf Relief handles leaves from mature trees without plastic parts. Our hand-dug underground drainage protects manicured grounds, stone drives and irrigation. We also install copper and stainless chimney caps, low-voltage LED landscape lighting and custom mailboxes suited to these properties.

Old Westbury is an incorporated village with its own building department, and some exterior projects may need village review. Check with Village Hall before starting, since requirements can vary by project. We can provide details about materials, colors and design to support any application, and we are glad to work within whatever the village requires.
Large roofs often need more capacity than standard 5-inch gutters provide. We offer 6-inch half-round, which we recommend for most homes, and 8-inch heavy-duty half-round for bigger roofs, as well as 6-inch K-style. We measure roof areas on site and size gutters and leaders accordingly.
We dig every underground drainage line by hand, with no heavy equipment. That protects lawns, gardens, pavers, stone drives and irrigation, which matters on Old Westbury properties with established grounds. We have installed more than 1,000 drainage systems on Long Island.
Yes. We fabricate copper gutters and leaders on site, along with Galvalume and Alcoa aluminum. Copper half-round is a popular choice for estate homes, and it develops a natural patina. We also install copper chimney caps to match, so the gutters, leaders and chimney share a consistent finish across the whole house.
