How to Choose the Right Gutter Color for your Home

Properly functioning gutters are an important part of the preventive maintenance for any house. A gutter system channels water from rain, snow, and ice away from your house to prevent costly foundation damage.

Since your gutters will hang on the outside of your home, 

the way they look can and does affect your home’s curb appeal. That’s why choosing the right color for your gutters is important. 

At US ROOFING Contractors  located in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Alabama, we give you four important tips to help you choose the proper color for your gutters:

1. Low-Key Color:

The cardinal rule for choosing gutters that will look good, not just function well, is to choose a descreet color. Don´t  introduce an entirely new color to your home’s exterior color scheme. You’re generally left with three options for color: same as your siding, same as your trim, or same as your roof. 

2. The color of your Roof:

One option is to make your gutters the same color as the roof so that they don’t call attention to themselves. This helps your gutters to be seen as an extension of the roofline rather than a demarcation. For shingle roofs, a dark bronze, gray, brown, or black may be smart options.

3. The color of the home’s exterior walls:

It may be more beneficial to have the gutters match the exterior paint color. As with trying to match the roof color, this method allows the gutters to become less of a visual element for the home. You shouldn’t pick a gutter that clashes with your home’s walls.

4. How much will it cost?:

If you are replacing gutters on a budget, be sure to check the price of a nontraditional gutter color; you may have to pay more money to have your gutters painted before they are installed. In the end, it might be wiser to select a standard color in order to keep costs to a minimum.
