FAQs
What are color-matched roofing and gutter systems, and why are they important?
A color-matched system is one in which the shingles, metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts are all selected from coordinated color palettes so the roof and rain-handling components look like one unified installation instead of a mix-and-match retrofit. In Rockford’s neighborhoods—where curb appeal can add measurable resale value—a consistent color scheme raises the visual profile of your home and helps HOA approval go more smoothly. Beyond appearance, matching components are typically ordered from the same manufacturer or finish line, which means the paint chemistry and UV resistance are identical, allowing all pieces to weather at the same rate and maintain their looks longer.
How do you ensure the gutters are perfectly color-matched to my new roof?
First, we bring full shingle sample boards and aluminum gutter coil swatches to your home so you can see how colors look in natural Rockford daylight. Once a shingle color is selected, we reference the manufacturer’s recommended companion gutter colors and order gutters fabricated from the same Kynar- or polyester-coated coil. If a precise factory match is not available, we can custom-paint the gutters with a baked-on finish that carries the same warranty as stock colors. Before installation begins we place a sample shingle and a small gutter section side by side on your property for a final sign-off, guaranteeing you get the exact look you approved.
What material and color options are available for roofs and gutters that hold up to Rockford’s climate?
For roofing, we offer architectural asphalt shingles in more than 30 standard and designer colors, impact-resistant Class 4 shingles for hail, and standing-seam steel in 24 or 26 gauge with over 40 factory colors. Gutters are typically made from .032- or .027-gauge aluminum, but for extra durability we also install 24-gauge steel and 16-ounce copper. All metal options come with baked-on finishes rated for at least 25 years of color retention and chalk resistance—essential for Rockford’s freeze-thaw cycles and high UV index in summer. If you want a seamless look, we can roll-form 5-inch K-style, 6-inch K-style, or 6-inch half-round gutters on-site in the exact color you choose.
How long does a roof and gutter replacement project typically take, and will my property be protected during the work?
Most single-family homes in the Rockford area take one to two days for the roof tear-off and replacement, followed by a half day for seamless gutter fabrication and installation. Larger or steep-slope roofs may extend the schedule to three days. We protect landscaping with ground-level tarps and use magnetic rollers to pick up nails each evening. If rain is in the forecast, we install synthetic underlayment and stage materials so your home is never left exposed overnight. Gutters are installed only after the roof is watertight, preventing debris from clogging fresh downspouts.
Are there energy or insurance benefits to installing a coordinated roof and gutter system?
Yes. Many of our cool-roof shingle colors are Energy Star rated and reflect more solar heat, lowering attic temperatures and reducing summer cooling costs by up to 15 percent. Coordinated oversized gutters reduce the risk of ice dams—common in Rockford winters—helping prevent water backups that can void roofing warranties and trigger costly interior damage. Some insurers offer premium discounts for impact-resistant shingles combined with properly sized gutters because the system better resists hail and water claims; we can supply the documentation your carrier needs.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer for color-matched roofs and gutters?
Our architectural shingle packages come with a non-prorated 50-year manufacturer warranty and a 10-year workmanship guarantee, both transferable if you sell your home. Seamless aluminum gutters include a 20-year finish warranty and 5-year labor coverage. When you bundle the roof and gutters, we extend our workmanship warranty to 15 years. Optional annual maintenance plans include a spring gutter cleaning, fall roof inspection, and priority storm-damage response, ensuring your color-matched system stays leak-free and vibrant for decades.
