Under old trees: gutters, valleys and leaf-packed drains
Douglaston's old street trees drop leaves every fall. They pack into gutters, roof valleys and the corners where dormers meet the main roof. Water backs up behind the clog. Then it works under the shingles and into the underlayment.
Overhanging limbs scrape granules off a steep pitch. On a flat rear section, twigs plug the drain and water sits. When years of overflow have rotted the boards behind the gutter, we replace the soffits and fascia too.
What we clear and check:
- Gutters, plus every downspout flushed down to the ground
- Valleys and chimney flashing, with the debris off and the seams checked
- Flat-roof drains cleared, and the vents checked for airflow

Off the bay in a nor'easter: tarp tonight, repair after
Douglaston sits on Little Neck Bay, and nor'easters come straight off the water. The wind lifts shingles, cracks old slate and pulls chimney and dormer flashing loose. Salt air wears metal flashing down faster. The leak follows. We also fix shingles a bay storm has lifted.
Water coming in after a storm? Call (917) 473-9811.
