Gutters for a northern Dutchess village named for its fall color

Red Hook takes its name from the Dutch “Roode Hoeck,” a red point of land, after the red fall foliage seen along the Hudson. The area was part of the 1688 Schuyler Patent, and Red Hook belonged to the Town of Rhinebeck until the state legislature split it off in 1812, with the first town meeting held in April 1813. The village grew up on what was once called Lower Red Hook, along Route 9 where Broadway meets Market Street. Bard College has stood in Annandale-on-Hudson since 1860, the Village of Tivoli sits on the river at the northwest corner of town, and Poets’ Walk Park, in the southwest part of town, looks out over the Hudson.

Our crews are based in Poughkeepsie on Page Park Drive, and northern Dutchess is a drive we make all the time, up Route 9 through Rhinebeck and into Red Hook. One crew handles the whole job: hand cleaning, downspout flushing, resealed corners, rehung runs, new fascia where the old wood has gone soft, seamless gutters formed in your driveway and BroGuard stainless micro-mesh. On tall village houses and broad farmhouse roofs, 6-inch gutters move a heavy summer storm and the March melt off the roof without sheeting over the front edge. Every estimate is free and written down.

Red Hook gets roughly 42 inches of rain and melted snow in a typical year (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals at Dutchess County Airport near Poughkeepsie), and every season brings its share. Old maples line the village streets, hedgerows and orchards out in the town drop leaves and blossoms, and wooded lots toward the river add oak leaves and pine needles. Where a yard is flat and slow to drain, water from a short downspout sits right against the foundation. Our maintenance program times a fall visit to the end of the leaf drop and a spring visit to the seed fall, so the troughs are clear going into the freeze and coming out of it.
