Between the barrier beach on Dune Road and the bays behind it, homes in Quogue and East Quogue take the full force of Atlantic weather. The Village of Quogue is known for shingle-style summer houses and older cottages, many inside the Quogue Historic District, while East Quogue, a hamlet next door, mixes year-round Capes and ranches with newer seasonal homes near the water. Salt air, sandy soil and a shallow water table near the bays all shape how a house should handle rain. Gutters that rust, sag or spill onto foundation plantings become costly quickly, and many homes sit empty for part of the year, so problems can go unnoticed until the next storm.
Life in Quogue revolves around the village center on Jessup Avenue, the ocean beaches along Dune Road and the Quogue Wildlife Refuge on the north side. Incorporated in 1928 within the Town of Southampton, the village saw its historic district added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, and the Village of Quogue handles building and planning matters. Next door, East Quogue is an unincorporated hamlet first settled in the 1670s, stretching from Montauk Highway down to the edge of Shinnecock Bay. Sunrise Highway and Montauk Highway tie the two together. From Jessup Avenue to the shore of Shinnecock Bay, we install and maintain seamless gutters throughout Quogue and East Quogue.
Copper half-round gutters are a natural fit for Quogue's shingle-style and historic homes, and we recommend 6" half-round for most houses to handle heavy coastal downpours. For year-round homes in East Quogue, 6" K-style Alcoa aluminum is a durable, salt-tolerant choice. Seasonal homeowners benefit from a maintenance program with roof inspection during each cleaning, and hand-dug drainage keeps water off foundations in sandy, low-lying lots without damaging landscaping or irrigation.

Quogue is an incorporated village with its own historic district, so exterior changes on some properties may require review. Check with the Village of Quogue building department before replacing gutters, especially if you are changing style or material. East Quogue is an unincorporated hamlet under the Town of Southampton, so homeowners there should check with the town instead.
Aluminum and copper both resist the rust that eats through steel near the ocean. Our standard product is seamless Alcoa aluminum, and we also fabricate copper, which develops a natural patina and suits Quogue's older shingle-style homes. For very exposed houses, we usually suggest 6-inch gutters and larger leaders so storm water clears the roof quickly.
A maintenance program works well for seasonal homes. We clean the gutters on a schedule, check leaders and joints, and inspect the roof while we are up there, so you learn about problems before they turn into leaks. Adding Alcoa Leaf Relief guards also reduces how much debris builds up while the house sits empty.
Yes. We install underground drainage and leach basins dug entirely by hand, which protects lawns, pavers, plantings and irrigation. Leaders connect to buried pipe that moves water away from the house. On lots near the bay, we look at the ground conditions during the free estimate to decide on basins or extension tails.
