We love speaking to our customers! Please call us direct 516-876-1999 or email our owner at [email protected]. Brian's dad, Bill Bonell began All Weather Guard in 1971 as a one man operation, doing all roofing projects by himself. After 47 years of great success, his son Brian, who graduated from Hofstra University with a Business Degree, has come on board and has taken over and plans to continue in the tradition of his father for years to come. The Bonell family has replaced tens of thousands of roofs in the Long Island area while turning houses into dream homes! We believe our success is due to our quality craftsmanship and excellent communication with our clients, making a winning combination. All Weather Guard listens to your goals and makes them happen. Put your trust in us and we guarantee you won’t find another remodeler that cares about the end result as much as our professional crew.

"All Weather know what they're doing and they do it right. Bill and his son Brian are true professionals and gentlemen who have been in business for over 50 years. We had new roofs and gutters installed on 2 houses in Port Washington. The crew did an excellent job on both and one was a very architecturally challenging 100 year old house. The crew and the owners exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them."

"We purchased a beach house that had an open French drain and 2 sump pumps in the basement. We spoke with several contractors, none of whom diagnosed why the pumps were running continuously and why the sisterns were always bubbling up water onto the front lawn. ACM diagnosed the problem, explained to us what was wrong. They were the only people we spoke to who really understood what the issue was. They recommended several upgrades, installed the new basement floor and sump pumps. This fixed the issue. They completed the work on time and on budget. HIGHLY RECOMMNEDED "

We are a locally owned business specializing in Roofing, Siding, windows and interior painting, with over 30 years experience between our staff. We also offer roof and siding repair work such as roof leaks, siding blow offs, and much more. We are currently serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Rest assure knowing that we work hard to please our clients and hold firm in the belief that whatever your project, you will be satisfied once we complete our task. We look forward to hearing from you!

"Back in September, I had my entire roof replaced by DiCostanzo Home Improvements. Tony was such a pleasure to deal with. He was professional, reliable, very knowledgeable, and honest. He is easy to talk to and explains everything clearly. I had four other contractors give me estimates and he was the only one who actually got on the roof to inspect it. While on the roof, he took pictures to show what needed to be done and explained everything in detail. He also took pictures during the job to show exactly what his crew was doing. He worked around my schedule to get the job done and was always punctual. He takes pride in his work. When the job was complete he inspected the entire perimeter of the house to be sure everything was cleaned up properly. There was one mistake the crew made when putting back an eyebolt for a sun sail that I have attached to a roof rafter that goes through the siding trim. They cut a hole too large through the piece of the trim. Tony was quick to have his crew replace the entire piece of trim. The entire job was done perfectly. The roof looks fabulous and my house is dry and critter-free. I highly recommended Tony. I would certainly higher him again."

I will not use them going forward."

"After 29 years, it was time to replace our 25-year roof. Ansen did the job! Derek was very helpful in helping us choose the correct color. Lots of choices, all quality products. Very informative. Price was very reasonable. Scheduling was great & reliable. He called the evening before to confirm after checking the weather (it was so-so for a few days). If it rains, they have to reschedule. He said they crew would show up around 7:15AM +/- 15 minutes. I got the call at 7:15 as they pulled up to my house. The actual noisy part of the work began around 9 AM to be respectful to the neighbors. 6 sheets of plywood had to be replaced. Derek showed me where and why. He used 1/2" plywood (code) - Douglas fir (quality). Job was completed on time. During the original estimate he recommend replacement of the gutter guards which was also done. Clean-up was thorough. He had to come back once to fix a small problem with a vent hose. He was there when he said he would. He also gave me an extra package of shingles should repairs ever be needed. I don't have pictures, but Derek will provide a list of completed jobs, including the brand & color used so you can see them. Need a roof? Call Ansen."

Gutter Repair and Replacement questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to replace only one section of a gutter, and it’s a common repair. Often, a tree limb will damage a gutter on one side of the house, or constant weather will cause early corrosion. Gutters are often joined together with couplings that are easy to remove and swap out. For this reason, some homeowners will purchase extra gutters when they install them to have spare sections to use for replacement later.

Yes, many professionals offer gutter guard installations to prevent debris buildup and reduce maintenance.

Many homeowners believe seamless gutters are worth the cost. Seamless gutters last longer, don’t require as much maintenance, and are less prone to clogs and leaks. Also, many people find that seamless gutters are much more pleasing aesthetically. So although seamless gutters cost more than seamed gutters, many people consider them a good investment.

Regular gutters usually have seams every 10 feet, and each seam can potentially leak. You’ll have to replace the gutter sealant every 1 to 5 years, which requires a lot of maintenance or gutter repair to keep them in good shape.

In most cases, it makes more sense to repair leaking or damaged gutters than it will to replace them. You’ll spend an average of $400 to repair your gutters, while full replacement will cost around $2,000 or more, depending on the gutter material and style and the size of your home. If your gutters are nearing the end of their lifespan—usually around 20 years for aluminum or vinyl gutters or up to 50 years for copper or steel—then it might make sense to replace them, as it could cost you less in the long run.

Whether you need to remove your home's gutters before installing a drip edge depends entirely on their installation. In most cases, you can work around the gutters and not have to remove them. This process is straightforward because the drip edge should extend past the back edge of the gutter. However, if your gutter placements are high on the fascia, you may have to take them down to install the drip edge properly.
