Gutters for Highland, right across the river from Poughkeepsie

Highland is the main hamlet of the Town of Lloyd, on the Hudson’s west shore, where the Mid-Hudson Bridge and the Walkway Over the Hudson land from Poughkeepsie. The New York State Legislature formed Lloyd out of the Town of New Paltz on April 15, 1845, and the 2020 Census counted 11,133 people in the town and 6,385 in the Highland census area. US 9W runs north and south through the hamlet, Routes 44 and 55 come off the bridge, and Route 299 heads west toward New Paltz. Illinois Mountain, the town’s high point at 1,125 feet, rises on the west side, and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail runs from the Walkway out through town as part of the Empire State Trail.

Our crews are based on Page Park Drive in Poughkeepsie, so Highland is about as close as it gets: one trip over the bridge. The same crew clears the troughs, flushes the downspouts, seals the joints, sets new hangers, swaps out bad fascia and bends new seamless runs from coil at the truck, then adds BroGuard stainless micro-mesh where trees hang over the roof. Bigger houses with long eaves often move up to 6-inch gutters. The first step is always a free written estimate.

NOAA’s Poughkeepsie station, just across the river, averages 47.18 inches of rain and melted snow a year over the 1991 to 2020 normals, and September and October tie as the wettest months at 4.64 inches each, right when the leaves start coming down. Highland’s houses cover a wide range: about 22 percent of homes in ZIP code 12528 were built before 1940, and roughly 24 percent since 2000. Much of the town slopes toward the river or off Illinois Mountain, so an overflowing gutter sends water along the foundation and downhill. Two to four cleanings a year, set by the trees around your roof, keeps that in check, and the late fall cleaning comes first.
