Gutters in Mount Tremper
Mount Tremper, NY
Mount Tremper is in Ulster County, the northern half of our Hudson Valley area. We are up that way regularly, so an estimate is a normal week for us rather than a special trip.
Nineteenth century village buildings often have little or no overhang, so the gutter is the only thing between the roof edge and the wall. There is no margin built into that arrangement. If the gutter is full, the water is on the masonry.
We work Mount Tremper and the rest of this part of Ulster County constantly. Estimates are free and we would rather come and look at the roof than guess at it over the phone.

What is actually at risk in Mount Tremper
Older buildings often need the fascia and the roof edge looked at before anything gets hung at all. We would far rather find that at the estimate than discover it on the day with a van full of coil.
On a stone house the thing at risk is not the gutter, it is the wall. That is worth holding on to when deciding between patching an old system and replacing it properly, because the two decisions are not the same size.
Getting water away from the foot of a stone wall is as important as catching it at the roof. A downspout discharging straight onto the ground at the base of masonry has moved the problem downwards rather than solved it.
What we do here
Four services in Mount Tremper
Seamless Gutters, and what it means here
On a long straight nineteenth century elevation, a seamless run is the difference between a clean line and a row of caulked joints over a stone wall. Every one of those joints is a future stain on the masonry below it. Aluminum coil runs through a roll former on the truck and goes up as one continuous length, so the only joints are at the corners and the outlets.
Seamless Gutters →Gutter Guards around Mount Tremper
Where the wall below is stone, keeping the gutter clear between visits is worth paying for, and that is what a guard buys you. We will tell you which type suits the tree cover you actually have rather than fitting one specification everywhere. There is no one guard that suits every roof, and we will say so rather than fit the same thing everywhere.
Gutter Guards →Gutter Cleaning around Mount Tremper
Cleared by hand rather than blown out, downspouts flushed and checked, and the debris leaves with us. On a house with little or no overhang, a full gutter puts water directly onto the wall, so clearing it is not housekeeping. Twice a year, and the autumn visit is the one that counts.
Gutter Cleaning →Snow Guards in Mount Tremper
Metal roofs appear on barns, on additions and on a good number of the renovated weekend houses here. Where a metal plane sheds over an entry, a terrace or a path, snow guards are the fix. They go on in the autumn, before the first real snow, which is the only sensible time to fit them.

Mount Tremper questions
Where are you actually based?
We work out of the Hudson Valley, in the corner where New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania meet. We do not keep a shop or a yard in Mount Tremper, we travel there, which is normal for this trade and means you are not paying toward a storefront.
How far do you actually travel?
Ulster is core Hudson Valley for us and we cover it properly. We will still give you a straight answer on the phone about timing rather than a convenient one, but distance is not the constraint here that it is at the outer edges of our area.
You are in Pennsylvania. Is Ulster County really in your area?
Yes. Ulster County is the northern half of our Hudson Valley area, not an outlying corner of it, and Mount Tremper is somewhere we work regularly rather than occasionally.
There is staining on my stone wall under the gutter. Can that be stopped?
The cause can be stopped, which is the overflow. The staining already in the stone is a masonry question rather than a gutter one, and we are not going to claim otherwise or offer to clean it.
What we can do is make sure water is leaving the roof properly, that the capacity matches the roof above it, and that the downspout is putting water well clear of the base of the wall, so it does not keep getting worse.
