Plainview's farmland of cucumbers and potatoes gave way to suburbs almost overnight, and the hamlet grew from about 1,100 residents in 1950 to more than 35,000 by 1960. That building boom left streets of ranches, split-levels, Capes and Colonials that are now around 60 to 70 years old, and many still have aging fascia, soffits and gutters. Split-levels and expanded ranches have multiple roof planes, so water from an upper roof often lands on a lower one, overwhelming small gutters. Toward the Manetto Hills, some lots slope enough to push water toward foundations. Keeping these homes dry starts with properly sized gutters and leaders.
The name Plainview comes from the view of the Hempstead Plains from the Manetto Hills, which still hold a nature preserve today. The Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway and the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway all cross the hamlet, and Old Country Road serves as the main shopping corridor. Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park has been open since 1960, and just to the south, Old Bethpage Village Restoration recreates 19th-century Long Island village life. Local government comes from the Town of Oyster Bay. From the split-levels and ranches of the postwar streets to the sloped lots toward the Manetto Hills, we install and service seamless gutters throughout Plainview.
Plainview's postwar homes often need a full exterior update: new seamless Alcoa aluminum gutters fabricated on site, replacement fascia, vented vinyl soffit and aluminum trim-coil capping. On split-levels, larger 6-inch gutters and well-placed leaders keep upper roofs from flooding lower ones. Hand-dug drainage moves water from foundations without disturbing lawns, pavers or sprinklers, and all-aluminum Leaf Relief guards reduce cleanings.

On split-levels, the upper roof often drains onto the lower roof, sending twice the water into one gutter. Adding capacity with 6-inch gutters, adding a leader or rerouting the upper runoff usually solves it. We look at how water moves across your roof during a free estimate.
If your gutters date back decades, the seams, hangers and fascia behind them are often worn out. We fabricate seamless gutters on site to fit your home and check fascia and soffit at the same time. New installations include a 25-year warranty on materials and labor.
Yes. All of our underground drainage, leach basins and extension tails are dug by hand, not with heavy equipment. That protects lawns, pavers and irrigation, and it lets us work in the tight side yards common on Plainview streets. We have installed more than 1,000 underground drainage systems on Long Island.
