Exterior Design - New Roof/Gutters and Trim Color - Tudor Home
I'm planning to replace my shingle roof and it's an opportunity to change the exterior design of the house. I'm looking for suggestions on a new color scheme for the roof/gutters and trim work. Do you have any suggestions ideas? I'm thinking of a dark brown roof and dark brown trim for a more modern aesthetic with more contrast. Consider charcoal architectural shingle roof and black trim? Not open to changing the color of the exterior stucco (it's in good shape and that's too much work).

12 months agoYour home is beautiful. Go for a grey-black, or brown-black trim. Pure black and white is going to look too harsh and like a failed attempt to turn your home into a modern farmhouse look. Same for your roof - not pure black but black-ish. Most importantly, they don't have to match each other exactly. Probably more interesting if they do not.
This black seems to harsh.
This brownish black seems better.

Help! Getting new roof/gutters, want advice on exterior colors/columns
Comments (5)Yes the pillars are structural I am not sure if they are all needed but that will be determined by a pro. As for colors A nice shade of gray/ green with that roof and brick will be nice I would remove the shutters since most of them are too small anyway.Your gutters need to be the same color as the roof they are not a design element.Maybe just wood cladding for the pillars painted the same as the trim in the green some nice big planters by the door with seasonal plantings and then decide on a door color...See MoreDo you paint gutters?

Comments (6)Since you have to work with what you've got, I think the color you've chosen in the mockup works well. As the comments above mention you do want this color to coordinate with the brick and tie it all together by keeping the gutters/soffits/fascia all the way around. You also asked about trim for the windows in the back. Since the windows in the back are white, I would make the trim the same color as the siding. White windows will already stand out as it is, any decorative trim seems over the top on this. From the photos it looks like the siding currently runs to the window frame which is fine as well. As for the columns, I would match them to the deck, remove the paint from the deck and go with a stain instead. Maybe wait to see how the rest looks before deciding on a stain or paint for the columns....See MoreRelated Professionals

12 months agoHere are some Tudor houses with different colors. There is a lot of variety out there. I agree with @houssaon that black is too severe.
Medium gray trim

Here are brown Tudors. I think the light trim is more “modern” and the browns look more old English countryside.
