Gutters for the river town below Storm King

By local accounts, Cornwall’s story starts in 1685, when Scottish families settled near the mouth of Moodna Creek. The Precinct of Cornwall followed in 1764, named for Cornwall, England, because the landscape looked alike. The writer Nathaniel Parker Willis moved here in 1846 to an estate along Moodna Creek he called Idlewild, a name still on Idlewild Avenue. Cornwall-on-Hudson, incorporated as a village in 1884, climbs the slopes of Storm King Mountain above Donahue Memorial Park, the old Cornwall Landing, and Route 218 winds through it on Bay View Avenue and Hudson Street. Inland, Firthcliffe sits along Route 9W, Mountainville lies out on Route 32 near Storm King Art Center, and Black Rock Forest and the Museum of the Hudson Highlands are both in town.

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Hudson Valley runs local crews out of Page Park Drive in Poughkeepsie, and Cornwall is a regular stop on our runs across the river. On a typical visit we clean and flush, reseal seams, reset hangers, form any new runs right on site, replace soft fascia and add BroGuard stainless micro-mesh where it pays off. For steep village roofs on the Storm King slopes and big colonial roofs in town, 6-inch gutters give a hard summer rain or a fast thaw somewhere to go besides over the edge. Each estimate is written up free of charge.

Cornwall takes in about 42 inches of rain and melted snow in a normal year (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals at Dutchess County Airport near Poughkeepsie), across all four seasons. Homes on the steep streets of Cornwall-on-Hudson sit on the mountainside, so water that misses a gutter heads straight downhill to the next foundation or retaining wall. Wooded lots around town add oak and maple leaves in fall and seeds and catkins in spring. Our maintenance program schedules the cleanings so the troughs are empty before the freeze and before the summer storms.
