How to Choose the Right Shingle Color from the Expert Shingle Installers at Boak & Sons

Gutters don’t always have to be white. Lately, we’ve seen many homeowners adding colored gutters to their home because it matches the look they’re going for better. Sam Boak and our gutter experts know that choosing a color for your gutters sounds risky and can be hard to do! You might have a color in mind, but without seeing it next to your home, it can be difficult to know if it’ll look right once the gutters are installed. That’s why we’re sharing our two best tips to help you make sure your gutters match your home:

  1. Compare a sample to your home’s siding and shingles.

What better way to visualize to items next to each other than to actually put them next to each other? Our gutter experts can show you a sample of the gutter color you’re interested in so you can compare it to the siding or shingles on your home. This helps you see the color next to your home and decide if it’s the look you’re going for or not!

 

  1. Look at photos online or drive around your neighborhood for inspiration.

Not many people notice what color their neighbor’s gutters are, that is until they’re thinking of getting new gutters on their home! Sam Boak highly encourages homeowners who are looking at different gutter options to do some research first. You can look at photos online of homes with different color gutters or just take a drive around the neighborhood and if a certain home catches your eye, take note of the color scheme! This can be especially helpful if you see a home that has similar siding or roofing colors to your own. Once you have an idea of the different colors you’re interested in, let our gutter experts walk you through the estimate process!
