How to Help Customers Choose the Right Gutter Color for Their Home

By Chelsea Welsh, Gutter Helmet.

When the time comes to install gutters or replace old ones, your customers have many color options.

You can help them make the best choice for their home by following these tips.

Good news: Gutters come in just about every color imaginable.

Bad news: You can only choose one.

#1 Check their HOA rules and regulations.

Most HOAs have rules regarding improvements that may affect neighborhood aesthetics and percieved value.

While its unlikely that an HOA will go as far as to dictate gutter color, you should still make sure the new gutters meet their minimum curb appeal standards.

#2 Check neighbors' homes.

Homes that have a similar style and color scheme are an excellent source of inspiration! The best place to start looking is in their own neighborhood.

#3 Check the home's exterior.

For obvious reasons, few homeowners will choose a gutter color that does not coordinate with the rest of their home's exterior features.

Most people will choose to match the trim or match the roof.

#4 Check their budget.

White and off-white are the basic factory-finish options, and the cheapest. If they're on a tight budget, then it's an easy choice!

On the other hand, if they are willing to pay more for a better color match, those curb appeal improvements are likely to pay off for them. 

When it comes to picking the best gutters for their home, you can help them and be their best source of advice.
