Owens Corning Teak Shingles and Desert Sand Gutters Done Right

When a roof starts showing its age, it rarely goes quietly. Curling shingles, faded color, gutters pulling away from the fascia - these are the kinds of things that start small and turn into real headaches fast. This home needed a full roof replacement paired with a new gutter system, and we wanted both to work together visually and functionally.

We went with Owens Corning Teak shingles on this one. It's a warm, neutral gray-brown tone that plays really well against brick exteriors like this. Owens Corning makes a quality shingle - good weight, solid warranty, and a color blend that holds up without looking washed out after a few years in the elements.

The gutter system is a 6-inch Desert Sand setup that ties into the overall color palette cleanly. Six-inch gutters move more water than standard 5-inch systems, which matters on a roof with this much square footage and pitch variation. The Desert Sand color keeps the gutters from standing out in a bad way - they just look like they belong there.

What we also handled on this property is the siding. Clean horizontal runs, consistent color throughout, and proper trim work at the corners and around windows. When the roof, gutters, and siding are all done at once by the same crew, everything lines up the way it should. No mismatched colors, no awkward transitions.

If your roof or gutters are getting up there in age, it's worth having someone take a look before a small issue becomes a big repair bill. We do thorough roof inspections and can walk you through exactly what you're working with.
