Gutters serve an essential role in keeping our roofs and homes functioning efficiently. Not only do they offer a certain clean and crisp curb appeal, but their primary purpose is to prevent mold, mildew, and other water damage to your roofing system. Gutters serve the home by directing rainwater away from the siding and foundation of your home.
How much will replacement cutters cost in Chicago? The cost per linear foot ranges from $5 to $15, depending on the size of your home, the type of gutter system you choose, and any additional fees. It is wise to consult with a local roofing contractor to determine the proper cost for your home.

We offer a variety of gutter systems. Here are the options to choose from
Seamless Gutters
For a perfect custom-fitted gutter system, look no further than seamless gutters! These are custom cut, on-site, to fit your home’s exact dimensions. The lack of seams makes them durable, and long-lasting, and will rarely crack or split. They also require less maintenance than other gutter systems making them a wise choice. Seamless gutters are designed to fit any roof.
Sectional Gutters
This common type of system is pieced together and has multiple seams where they meet at connectors. Each corner piece and end cap connect each side. Leaking is a common dilemma because of the various seams. Debris can easily collect in these seams, so regular maintenance is advised to clean out the system. Sectional gutters, however, can be quite effective when properly installed and regularly cleaned, and maintained. They are a great budget-friendly solution if you are needing a new gutter system.
Half-Round Gutters
This system is the most traditional gutter system, resembling a tube that has been cut in half. This rounded shape allows gutter cleaning to be a breeze because debris is less likely to get stuck in corners. Minimal debris means minimal wear and tear damage. This results in a longer-lasting gutter system compared to its competitors. Whether your home is a traditional or modern style, this system is an excellent choice.
K-Style Gutters
Are you looking for a touch of class? A more sophisticated look? Then consider this style of gutters. The shape of this system allows the gutter to be easily nailed down to the fascia board without the need for brackets or fasteners. This allows for a seamless finish and is less likely to leak over time. K-style gutters feature a flat bottom with a curved edge, similar to crown molding. This style offers the gutter to blend in with the roofline making them a popular choice. This system can hold more water than a half-round style.
Box Style Gutters
This system has a rectangular shape, creating clean crisp lines against modern homes. This system is typically found in older homes, but they are still a valid option. Many historical homes lean toward this type of gutter to match the unique architectural design. Debris can clutter this system, but with regular cleaning and maintenance, box gutters can last for years.
Regardless of what type of gutter system you decide on, it would be wise to consider gutter guards as well. This tremendous system aids in eliminating excess debris from cluttering up any gutter system. Be sure to ask Owen Enterprises about their gutter guard systems and which ones would be best for you and your home.
