Gutters for Cold Spring, the foundry village across from West Point

Cold Spring grew around the West Point Foundry, organized by Gouverneur Kemble across the river from West Point and in operation from 1818 to 1911. During the Civil War its workforce of 1,400 turned out Parrott rifles by the thousand, and much of the village grew up around those workers and their families. The village was incorporated in 1846, and its well-preserved 19th-century center is on the National Register as the Cold Spring Historic District. Morris Avenue holds mansions like Undercliff and Craigside, Chestnut Street has the Putnam History Museum, and Breakneck Ridge rises just north. The village covers 0.60 square miles and had 1,986 people in 2020.

Our crews are based on Page Park Drive in Poughkeepsie, a short drive up Route 9D, and Cold Spring work lines up with jobs in Beacon. In Cold Spring, 40.7 percent of homes were built before 1940, more than four in ten. That means close-set 19th-century houses with cornices, brackets, porches and fascia that has been painted over for generations. We replace the soft wood first, fit the gutter to the trim and keep downspouts off the sidewalks on Main Street. Every job starts with a free written estimate.

The NOAA West Point station, about two miles across the river, averages 51.47 inches of rain and melted snow and 35.7 inches of snowfall a year under the 1991 to 2020 normals, with October the wettest month at 5.29 inches and January the snowiest at 11.1 inches. Cold Spring sits at the foot of the Highlands, so storms come in hard off the river and the hillside streets run water downhill toward the houses below. Gutters here need solid boards, tight hangers and downspouts that go somewhere safe.
