When your gutters work right, you don’t think about them during the next nor’easter. No more watching water cascade over the sides during heavy rains. No more worrying about ice dams pulling your gutters down in winter.
Our seamless aluminum gutters handle Southold’s unique coastal challenges. Salt air doesn’t corrode them. Heavy snow loads don’t overwhelm them. Spring storms flow right through without backing up.
You get custom-fitted gutters built on-site for your exact roofline. No seams means no leaks. No maintenance headaches. Just reliable water management that protects your foundation, landscaping, and peace of mind for decades.
Home Team Construction has been protecting Long Island homes for years. We understand what coastal weather does to gutters because we live here too.
You’re not our first customer dealing with ice dams or salt air damage. We’ve replaced gutters on hundreds of homes from Montauk to the North Shore. Our crews know exactly how to size and position gutters to handle everything from summer thunderstorms to winter blizzards.
When you call us back for your next project—and our customers do, repeatedly—it’s because we show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and clean up like we were never there.
We start with a free estimate at your home. No pressure, just honest assessment of what you need and what it costs.
On installation day, we remove your old gutters and dispose of everything properly. Then we fabricate your new seamless gutters right on-site using our mobile equipment. This ensures perfect fit and eliminates the weak points that cause most gutter failures.
We install with proper slope for drainage and secure mounting that won’t sag under snow loads. All downspouts get positioned to direct water away from your foundation. Before we leave, we test the entire system and clean up completely. Most jobs finish in one day.

Aluminum gutters are our most popular choice for Southold homes. They resist salt air corrosion, handle temperature swings, and cost significantly less than other materials. Available in multiple colors to match your home’s exterior.
For premium installations, we offer copper gutters that develop a beautiful patina over time. Copper lasts decades longer than aluminum and adds distinctive character to historic or upscale properties.
Both materials come in 5-inch or 6-inch widths. We recommend 6-inch gutters for Southold homes because they handle heavy coastal storms better. The extra capacity prevents overflow during those intense spring downpours and rapid snow melts that catch smaller gutters off guard.
Gutter replacement in Southold typically runs $8-15 per linear foot for seamless aluminum gutters, including removal of old gutters and installation. Most homes need 150-200 linear feet, putting total costs between $1,200-3,000.
The exact price depends on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choice. Copper gutters cost more upfront but last longer. Six-inch gutters cost slightly more than five-inch but handle Southold’s heavy rains much better.
We provide free estimates with no obligation. You’ll get exact pricing based on your specific home and needs, not rough ballpark numbers.
Six-inch gutters are definitely worth considering for Southold homes. They handle 50% more water flow than standard 5-inch gutters, which matters during intense coastal storms and rapid snow melts.
Long Island gets 40-50 inches of rain annually, often in heavy bursts during nor’easters and summer thunderstorms. Smaller gutters frequently overflow during these events, sending water where you don’t want it.
The cost difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters is minimal compared to dealing with foundation damage from overflowing water. Most of our Southold customers choose 6-inch after we explain the benefits.
Seamless gutters don’t prevent ice dams, but they handle them much better than sectional gutters. Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at your roof edge, and they can damage any gutter system with their weight.
Seamless gutters are stronger because they don’t have joints that can separate under stress. When ice dams do form, seamless gutters are more likely to stay attached to your house instead of pulling away or breaking apart.
Proper installation also matters. We mount gutters with heavy-duty hangers spaced closer together than standard installation. This gives extra support during ice loading. Clean gutters before winter also reduce ice dam severity.
Aluminum gutters cost less upfront and resist salt air corrosion well. They’re available in many colors and handle Long Island weather effectively for 20-30 years with proper maintenance.
Copper gutters cost significantly more initially but can last 50+ years. They develop a green patina over time that many homeowners love. Copper also has natural antimicrobial properties that reduce algae growth.
For most Southold homes, aluminum provides excellent value. Choose copper if you want the premium look and don’t mind the higher investment. Both materials work well in our coastal climate.
Well-maintained gutters typically last 20-30 years on Long Island, depending on material and installation quality. Coastal conditions can reduce this somewhat due to salt air exposure and frequent storms.
Signs you need replacement include sagging sections, multiple leaks, rust or corrosion, gutters pulling away from the house, or frequent clogging despite regular cleaning. If you’re repairing the same problems repeatedly, replacement usually makes more sense.
Seamless gutters generally last longer than sectional gutters because they have fewer failure points. Proper installation with adequate hangers also extends gutter life significantly in our climate.
We can install gutters year-round in most weather conditions. Winter installation is actually common because that’s when homeowners notice gutter problems from ice dams or storm damage.
We avoid installation during active storms, ice conditions, or extreme cold that makes materials brittle. But typical winter days work fine for gutter installation. Our mobile fabrication equipment works in cold weather.
Winter replacement also means your new gutters are ready for spring’s heavy rains and next winter’s snow loads. Don’t wait for perfect weather if your gutters are failing—the damage from one more storm often costs more than the installation.
