Gutter systems are a critical component of a complete roofing system. The role of a gutter is to divert excess water from the roof to the downspout and away from the home, particularly the foundation. If a gutter is clogged or blocked with debris, then the water cannot flow freely. Excess debris can build up over time and could potentially cause the gutter to weaken.
On average, replacement gutters in Lawrence, Massachusetts are $8.00 to $15.00 per linear foot. This price can vary due to the gutter style chosen, the gutter material, and the size of the home. It is best to reach out to Zhumas Construction for a free estimate for your particular home. We install gutters that are customized to serve your home’s drainage needs.

We lean toward three types of gutter systems. The sectional, seamless, and K-style have proven to be effective in the safe removal of water and in protecting your home. Let’s explore each.
Seamless Gutter System
This type of system is created by a long continuous piece of material measured and installed in one piece. Gutters can be made of aluminum, zinc, copper, and steel. The design is for limited joints, seams, and fasteners.
- Ease of Water Flow – considering the lack of so many joints and seams, there is little area for debris to collect. This, in turn, will allow water to flow much more effortlessly.
- Long-lasting – There are few areas for the metal to form rust, considering there are limited fasteners. This allows the gutter to have a long life.
- Custom-fit – The installers will cut the material on-site, and immediately install the gutters.
- Curb Appeal – The crisp clean look of a seamless gutter is appealing to passersby.
Sectional Gutter System
A sectional gutter system is a type of system formed from pieces of gutter material attached to span the section of the roof. Each section is attached to the next by fasteners, and brackets.
- Easily Assembled by the DIY’er – The average hardware store sells these gutters and can be easily installed by the homeowner. (beware as the material may be thinner, have fewer color options, and be less durable than those purchased by a professional roofing contractor.)
- Less expensive – The average homeowner can install these, eliminating the additional cost of labor to a roofing contractor
- Created in pre-determined lengths – This allows the installer to piece together the gutters to span the duration of the roof.
K-Style Gutter System
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 other styles.
- No Leaks – this system also offers a seamless finish, making it less prone to leakage
- Large Capacity – massive rainstorms and excessive rain can easily be handled by this type of gutter
- Strong and Durable – k-style gutters are less likely to bend or protrude when impacted by force
- Ease of Installation – these are flat on one side, easy to install, and there is no need to worry about brackets
- Readily Available – they can come in aluminum, galvalume, and copper. Contractors are easily able to locate the material you desire
- Stylish – this system mimics crown molding, making it an elegant appearance and addition to the home
