Gutters That Protect Longport's Downbeach Homes
Longport is the small borough at the south end of Absecon Island, and the island wrote its housing story: the first ten numbered streets washed away in storms a century ago, so the town now starts at 11th Avenue and runs to the Point at the inlet. Fewer than a thousand people live here year round on four tenths of a square mile, and the houses range from older cottages on the Atlantic Avenue and Ventnor Avenue blocks to the large homes that have replaced them, many lifted above flood level. With the ocean on one side, Great Egg Harbor Inlet at the end and the Amherst Avenue bayfront on the other, every roof takes salt, wind and sideways rain. Seamless aluminum gutters built for that exposure are what we install, repair and clean across Longport.
Nor'easters push more water than an aging gutter can carry, and the overflow lands on costly siding, trim and foundations.
We install, repair and clean seamless aluminum gutters from Atlantic Avenue and Winchester Avenue to the Amherst Avenue bayfront, and up the island into Margate and Ventnor.

Gutter Services in Longport, Job by Job
A Longport gutter has three enemies: salt that eats cheap metal and sealant, wind off the inlet that lifts anything only spiked on, and raised homes whose downspouts have to carry water past the pilings to the street.
Seamless Gutter Installation in Longport
On the large homes along Atlantic Avenue and the Amherst Avenue bayfront we form seamless aluminum on site to the full length of each run, size 6-inch gutters and extra downspouts for the big roofs, and hang everything on hidden hangers screwed into solid fascia so a nor'easter cannot peel it off. On the raised houses we run full-height downspouts with extensions that discharge toward the street, not under the house. More on seamless gutter installation.
Gutter Repair in Longport
The Longport calls after a storm are the same every time: a downspout torn off at the elbow near the Point, a run lifted off its hangers on the ocean side, a corner leaking because salt ate the sealant. We re-hang with new hangers, reseal with a sealant that holds in salt air, replace single damaged sections when the rest is sound, and reset pitch. Rusted steel fittings get replaced with aluminum so the repair does not fail the same way. More on gutter repair.
Gutter Guards & Leaf Protection in Longport
There are few big trees in Longport, but the wind puts sand, shingle grit and seaweed after a big tide into every open gutter, and all of it packs the downspout elbows. A fine-mesh guard blocks that and lets the rain pass, which keeps the trough from holding the wet salt that corrodes it. On a house that is empty from October to May a guard is what keeps the gutter working with nobody looking. More on gutter guards.
Gutter Cleaning in Longport
A Longport gutter needs a spring and fall cleaning and a check after any major coastal storm. Grit holds salt water against the metal and the fascia, which is what shortens a gutter's life at the end of the island. We clean by hand, flush each downspout from the top, confirm the water leaves at the bottom instead of pooling under a raised house, and look over hangers and seams. We can schedule around when you open or close the house. More on gutter cleaning.
Fascia & Soffit Repair in Longport
Salt air plus a leaking gutter will take wood fascia in a few seasons, and the signs are the same on a cottage or a new build: peeling paint along the roof edge, dark streaks under the gutter and a run pulling away at one end. We cut out the rotted fascia and soffit, wrap the new boards in aluminum that shrugs off salt, and rehang the gutters on a solid edge. The fascia and soffit repair page covers what to look for at the roofline.
Longport, Block by Block
Longport is only a few blocks wide, but the ocean side, the bay side and the Point each treat a gutter differently.
Atlantic Avenue and the beach blocks
Direct salt spray and the hardest wind in the borough. Aluminum throughout, sealed corners, hidden hangers on every run.
Ventnor Avenue and Winchester Avenue
The middle of the island, older cottages and the newer homes replacing them. Profile matching on the old trim, 6-inch gutters on the big new roofs.
Amherst Avenue and the bayfront
Raised homes where the highest tides reach the street. Full-height downspouts routed to the street side, well clear of the pilings.
The Point and the inlet end
The last blocks before Great Egg Harbor Inlet, with wind from three sides. Extra hangers, corrosion checks at every corner, and a look after every big storm.
