We are getting some Custombiltmetals aluminum gutters on house. Trying to decide color. We were gonna get black, to go with the black shutters on house. Only concern is fading. Anyone have experience with the dark brown or black gutters fading bad?

Might just get the Clayton color.

Are those dark brown?

What's your opinion long term?

I have black gutters and black shutters, I love the way it looks. However they're only about two years old so I can't speak to their longevity.

Most installers have a lifetime or 20+ year material warranty. They explicitly say not to spray bleach on them though or it voids the warranty

Could you please post a pic? I'd love to see how it looks with the shutters.

This is the house we are putting shutters on.

Do you think paint fade is considered under warranty for a fix?
