Hear From Our Clients
When your gutters fail, water doesn’t just disappear. It runs down your siding, soaks into your foundation, and finds its way into your basement. You’ve probably already seen the signs—staining on the fascia, erosion in your landscaping, or that damp smell downstairs after a heavy rain.
A proper gutter repair stops that cycle. You get a system that moves water away from your home the way it’s supposed to. No more guessing whether the next storm will flood your crawl space or crack your foundation wall.
We use marine-grade fasteners and proper flashing because salt air from the Sound eats through standard hardware in a few seasons. Most residential gutter repair jobs around here fail because contractors use the wrong materials or skip steps to save time. We don’t.
Home Team Construction works on colonials from the ’60s and newer builds across Setauket, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. We know what coastal weather does to gutter systems because we’ve been repairing the damage for years.
Most of our work comes from referrals. That happens when you show up on time, explain what’s broken and why, and fix it so it doesn’t break again next season.
We’re not the biggest gutter repair company on Long Island, but we’re the ones homeowners call when they want it done right. No runaround, no upselling, no surprises on the invoice.
First, we inspect the full system—not just the spot you called about. Gutters fail in patterns, and if one section is leaking, there’s usually more going on. We check fasteners, seams, downspouts, and flashing to find everything that needs attention.
Then we give you a detailed estimate. No vague line items, no “we’ll know more once we start” nonsense. You’ll know what’s broken, what it costs to fix, and how long it takes.
Most repairs finish in one to three days depending on scope. We protect your landscaping, clean up completely, and test the system before we leave. If there’s storm damage and you’re filing a claim, we document everything you need for your insurance company.

Gutter repair covers a lot of ground. Leaking seams get resealed with commercial-grade sealant that holds up in freeze-thaw cycles. Sagging sections get re-pitched and secured with new fasteners. Damaged downspouts get replaced or rerouted so water drains away from your foundation.
If you’ve got an older home in Setauket with discontinued colors, we work with suppliers who can match unusual shades. That matters when you’re trying to maintain curb appeal on a property worth half a million or more.
We also handle storm damage repairs. Long Island saw up to 10 inches of rain in some areas last August, and Setauket was hit hard. Gutters that were barely hanging on before that storm didn’t stand a chance. If yours failed during a covered event, we’ll help you document the claim and work with your adjuster.
Most homeowners in Setauket spend between $500 and $1,200 on gutter repairs, depending on what’s broken and how much of the system needs work. Simple fixes like resealing a seam or replacing a downspout section run closer to $150 to $300. Larger jobs—like replacing damaged fascia, re-pitching sagging sections, or rebuilding corners—can push toward $2,000 or more.
Location matters too. If your home sits near the water or in a heavily wooded area, your gutters take more abuse from salt air and debris. That usually means more wear and higher repair costs over time.
We give you a detailed estimate before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no “we found more problems” upsells halfway through the job.
Most gutter repairs finish in one to three days. Simple fixes—resealing joints, replacing a section of downspout, tightening loose fasteners—usually wrap up in a few hours. Bigger jobs that involve replacing fascia boards, rebuilding corners, or rerouting drainage take longer.
Weather plays a role too. We can’t seal seams in the rain, and we won’t work on your roof if conditions aren’t safe. If a storm rolls through mid-job, we pause until it’s clear.
We schedule around your life, not ours. If something changes and we need to push the timeline, we tell you immediately. Most of our clients are busy professionals who don’t have time to babysit contractors, so we communicate clearly and show up when we say we will.
If water is getting into your basement because gutters are overflowing or downspouts are dumping too close to your foundation, then yes—fixing your gutters will solve that problem. But if the issue is a cracked foundation, poor grading, or a high water table, gutter repair alone won’t fix it.
Here’s what we see most often in Setauket: gutters that are clogged, sagging, or pulling away from the house. Water spills over the edge, saturates the ground next to the foundation, and eventually finds its way inside. Once we repair the system and make sure downspouts extend at least six feet from the house, the basement stays dry.
We’ll tell you during the inspection if your gutters are the problem or if you need to call a foundation specialist. We’re not here to sell you a repair that won’t solve your issue.
Yes, especially if your home was built in the last 20 years. Most standard gutter colors—white, almond, bronze, gray—are easy to match. If you’ve got an older colonial from the ’60s or ’70s with a discontinued color, it takes more work, but we can usually find a supplier who stocks it or custom-match the shade.
Color matching matters in Setauket because property values are high and curb appeal affects resale. Mismatched gutters stand out, especially on older homes where the original color has faded or changed slightly over time.
We bring samples to compare before we order materials. If we can’t get an exact match, we’ll tell you upfront so you can decide whether to replace the full section for consistency or go with the closest available option.
We don’t file the claim for you, but we help with documentation and work directly with adjusters to make the process easier. After a major storm—like the flooding Long Island saw in August 2024—insurance companies get flooded with claims. Having detailed photos, measurements, and a repair estimate from a licensed contractor speeds things up.
We inspect the damage, document what failed and why, and provide a written estimate that breaks down materials and labor. If the adjuster wants to meet on-site, we’re there to walk through the damage and explain what needs to be repaired versus replaced.
Storm damage is usually covered if your gutters failed because of wind, heavy rain, or falling debris—not neglect. We’ll tell you honestly whether your claim has a shot or if the damage is from normal wear and tear that insurance won’t cover.
Repair makes sense when the damage is isolated—a leaking seam, a sagging section, a broken downspout. If the rest of the system is solid and you’re just fixing one or two problem areas, repair costs a fraction of replacement and adds years to the system’s life.
Replacement makes sense when the whole system is shot—rusted through, pulling away from the fascia in multiple spots, or so old that repairs won’t hold. If we’re patching the same gutters every year, you’re better off replacing them with seamless gutters that’ll last 20+ years.
We’ll tell you which option makes more sense for your situation. If your gutters are 15 years old and starting to fail in multiple places, we’re not going to sell you a repair that only buys you another season. But if you’ve got a newer system with isolated damage from a recent storm, there’s no reason to replace the whole thing.
