When your gutters fail, water finds its way into places it shouldn’t be. Your foundation. Your basement. Your landscaping gets destroyed, and your siding starts showing water stains.
We fix the real problem, not just the symptoms. Proper gutter repair means water flows exactly where it should – away from your home and into the ground where it belongs.
You get gutters that handle Long Island’s heavy rains and winter weather without pulling away from your house or creating those annoying drips that keep you up at night.
Home Team Construction has been handling gutter problems for Port Jefferson homeowners who need reliable solutions, not temporary patches. We understand how coastal weather affects your gutters differently than inland areas.
The salt air, heavy storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that hit Long Island create specific challenges for gutter systems. We’ve seen every type of failure and know exactly how to fix them properly.
When you call us, you’re getting contractors who live and work in your community. We’re not driving in from three towns over – we know your neighborhood and the specific issues Port Jefferson homes face.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire gutter system, not just the obvious problem spots. Most gutter issues are connected – that leak in your front gutter might be caused by improper drainage in the back.
Next, we identify the root cause. Is it a simple seal issue, or are your gutters pulling away because the fascia board is rotting? We fix the underlying problem, not just the surface symptoms.
Then we make the repairs using materials designed for Long Island’s weather. We test the water flow, check all connections, and make sure your downspouts are directing water properly away from your foundation. You’ll see exactly what we fixed and why it needed to be done.

Gutter leak sealing, re-attaching loose gutters, fixing sagging sections, downspout repair, and drainage correction. We also handle fascia board repair when water damage has affected the underlying structure.
Port Jefferson homes face unique challenges with coastal weather patterns. Heavy nor’easters can dump several inches of rain in short periods, overwhelming poorly maintained gutters. Winter ice dams form when gutters don’t drain properly, creating expensive damage to rooflines and interiors.
We address these local conditions specifically. Our sectional gutter repair techniques account for the expansion and contraction that happens with Long Island’s temperature swings. When we repair your eavestrough system, it’s built to handle what Mother Nature throws at it.
Gutter repair costs depend on the extent of damage and type of repair needed. Simple leak sealing might run $150-300, while re-attaching loose gutters or fixing sagging sections typically costs $200-500 per affected area.
More extensive repairs involving fascia board replacement or complete sectional replacement can range from $500-1200 depending on the length and complexity. We always provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation.
The key is catching problems early. A $200 repair today prevents the $2000 foundation repair later when water has been pooling against your house for months.
We can handle most gutter repairs year-round, though some extensive work is better done in dry conditions. Emergency repairs like stopping active leaks or securing loose gutters that pose safety hazards can be done immediately.
Winter repairs are actually common on Long Island. Ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles often cause gutter problems that need immediate attention to prevent interior water damage.
For major repairs involving fascia work or complete sectional replacement, we might recommend waiting for better weather conditions to ensure proper adhesion and curing of materials. But we’ll always secure temporary solutions to protect your home until permanent repairs can be completed.
Properly executed gutter repairs should last 10-15 years or more, even with Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. The key is using the right materials and techniques for coastal environments.
We use sealants and fasteners designed to handle salt air exposure and temperature fluctuations. Cheap repairs using standard hardware store materials might last 2-3 years before failing again.
The longevity also depends on maintenance. Gutters that are cleaned regularly and inspected annually will outlast neglected systems. We can show you what to watch for and when to call for professional maintenance.
Sagging gutters usually result from improper installation, overloading from debris, or deteriorated fascia boards. Many Long Island homes have gutters installed with inadequate support spacing, especially older installations.
Heavy debris loads from fall leaves or ice buildup stress the mounting system beyond its capacity. Over time, fasteners pull loose or the fascia board itself rots from water exposure.
We fix sagging by addressing the root cause – adding proper support brackets, replacing rotted fascia boards, and ensuring proper slope for drainage. Simply re-hanging sagging gutters without fixing the underlying issue just delays the problem.
Downspout repair and drainage correction are essential parts of any complete gutter system fix. Most water damage problems stem from improper drainage, not just gutter leaks.
We repair crushed or disconnected downspouts, clear blockages, and ensure proper water flow away from your foundation. Many Port Jefferson homes need downspout extensions to direct water far enough from the house.
Poor drainage around your foundation can cause basement flooding, foundation settling, and landscape erosion. We evaluate the entire water management system around your home and recommend solutions that actually work long-term.
Emergency gutter repairs get priority scheduling, especially when there’s active water damage or safety concerns. We typically respond within 24 hours for urgent situations in the Port Jefferson area.
True emergencies include loose gutters threatening to fall, active leaks causing interior damage, or ice dam situations creating immediate structural concerns. We carry materials for common emergency repairs on our trucks.
For non-emergency repairs, we usually schedule within 3-5 business days. But if your problem is causing ongoing damage to your home, we’ll prioritize getting there faster to prevent costly secondary damage.
