Few places on Long Island know storms like Westhampton Beach, where the 1938 hurricane took 29 lives and a 1992 nor'easter destroyed more than 80 homes along the barrier beach. Today the area mixes shingle-style summer homes and village houses near Main Street, newer construction on Dune Road and the bays, and year-round Capes and ranches in the Westhampton hamlet to the north, where pine and oak woods take over. Salt air corrodes steel gutters, sandy soil can wash out around foundations, and many homes are empty part of the year. Durable, well-sized gutters and a plan for where the water goes are essential in this setting.
Main Street's shops and restaurants and the ocean beaches along Dune Road define Westhampton Beach, an incorporated village in the Town of Southampton. Shingle-style summer homes and village houses sit near Main Street, alongside National Register listings like the Crowther House, the Foster-Meeker House and the village post office, while newer construction lines Dune Road and the bays. To the north and west, the hamlet of Westhampton has year-round Capes and ranches among pine and oak woods, and Francis S. Gabreski Airport sits just outside village limits. Montauk Highway, Sunrise Highway and the LIRR Montauk Branch tie the area together. From the barrier beach on Dune Road to the wooded streets of the hamlet, we install and maintain seamless gutters throughout Westhampton and Westhampton Beach.
Near the ocean, Alcoa aluminum and copper resist the rust that ruins steel gutters, and copper half-round suits the village's shingle-style homes. We recommend 6" half-round for most houses, or 6" K-style for high-capacity needs. In the wooded Westhampton hamlet, Alcoa Leaf Relief keeps pine needles and leaves out. Hand-dug drainage protects sandy lots and landscaping, and maintenance programs with roof inspections help seasonal homeowners catch storm damage early.

Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village, so some exterior work may be subject to village rules or review. Check with the Village of Westhampton Beach building department before starting. Westhampton, north of the village, is an unincorporated hamlet under the Town of Southampton, so homeowners there should check with the town.
Aluminum and copper both resist the rust that salt air causes on steel. Our standard product is seamless Alcoa aluminum, and we also fabricate copper, which develops a natural patina and suits shingle-style homes. For homes that take wind-driven storm rain, we generally suggest 6-inch gutters with larger leaders.
Yes. We install Alcoa Leaf Relief, an all-aluminum system that sheds leaves and needles while letting water in, and we are a preferred Leaf Relief contractor. We advise against plastic and vinyl guards, which tend to warp and crack. Guards reduce clogging, though an occasional check is still smart.
A maintenance program is a good fit for seasonal homes. We clean gutters on a schedule, check leaders and joints, and inspect the roof while we are up there, so storm damage gets caught before it becomes a leak. Estimates are free, and Suffolk homeowners can reach us at 631-498-8500.
