There are two main gutter material suppliers in our area. Both carry pretty much the same color choices. The reason we use CustomBilt Metals Inc. for our gutter coil and downspouts is that they, in our opinion, offer a better materials and painted surface warranty. There is no difference in cost between materials and it is a better deal for our customers. The teflon seal that they put on the gutter material surface assists you in keeping your gutter clean by making it easier to clean the treated paint surface. The primary thing it does is seal the pores in the paint and by doing so dirt cannot adhere to the painted surface as well.

Most of the color choices are earth tones. If you can find a color that would work well with your trim color, it would be best to have us order your gutter material in that color. Downspouts generally follow the main color of the house so if you can find a color that is close run with that as well. Click here to view our custom color selection chart.

Some installers will hard sell you on white, or musket (dark brown) as this is the color they spool their machines up with. They even upcharge you if you choose another color as it is more expensive. Frankly this is just a way of getting you to go with white so they can draw from stockpiles of inventory purchased at better prices which means better profit for them. Hey I’m all about making good profit, don’t get me wrong, but not at the expense of making a customer choose a color based on my profit margin versus what is right for them.

We sell alot of white gutters and downspouts and we keep our machine spooled up with at least 500’ of white material at all times. However we have a second cradle spool on our machine reserved for custom color runs.

We feel it is good customer service to offer the right color suited for your home. It does cost us more to provide the other colors as the vendor charges us a bit more for them, and it is difficult to obtain the best price on small orders of colored materials. The other thing is we do have to pick up the materials from the vendor as opposed to working from our stock, but we would rather have the job look right, and have a happy customer. We want you to feel good about our work when the job is done. A happy customer will refer us to friends and neighbors which saves us tons on advertising dollars.

We do not charge any more for our custom colors than we do for white. Some installers charge $1 or more per foot extra for this service.
