What type of paint finish do East Texas Carports buildings use?

Every building is finished with Sherwin-Williams® pre-finished coatings, factory-applied to 29-gauge galvanized steel panels for consistent color and long-term durability.

How many color options are available?

17 colors are available for siding, trim, and gable ends, and can also be used on the roof or wainscot. Three additional colors — Clear, Opal White, and Royal Blue — are available for roofs only, and entry doors come in a curated set of 8 colors.

Can I choose different colors for the roof, walls, and trim?

Yes. Mix and match any of the core 17 colors across your roof, siding, and trim, or add a roof-exclusive color like Royal Blue for contrast.

Does color choice affect the price of my building?

Pricing depends on your specific building configuration. Design your building online or call a sales expert to see current color options and get a free, no-obligation quote.

What warranty covers the paint finish?

Every color is backed by a 20-year limited paint warranty from Sherwin-Williams®, covering fading, chalking, and corrosion.

Do lighter colors keep my building cooler?

Yes. Lighter colors like White, Light Stone, and Galvalume reflect more sunlight than dark colors, which can help keep an uninsulated carport, garage, or workshop cooler in direct sun. Adding insulation makes an even bigger difference regardless of color.

Can I match my building's colors to my house or property?

Yes — many customers choose trim and roof colors that complement their home, fence line, or existing outbuildings. Popular neutral pairings include Zinc Gray with White trim and Light Stone with Brown trim.

What's the difference between Galvalume and a painted color?

Galvalume is an unpainted, mill-finish steel coating with a bright metallic look, while the other 16 core colors are painted Sherwin-Williams® finishes. Both meet the same durability standards — Galvalume is popular for a traditional, unpainted agricultural look

Do I need HOA approval for my building color?

Some neighborhoods, subdivisions, and municipalities have color restrictions for outbuildings, so check your HOA or local codes before finalizing your design. Our sales team can help you identify code-friendly color combinations if needed.

How to Choose the Right Colors for Your Metal Building

With 17+ colors to mix across roof, siding, and trim, here's how most customers narrow it down.

Match Your Climate

Lighter colors like White, Light Stone, and Galvalume reflect more sunlight and can help keep an uninsulated carport, garage, or workshop cooler in direct sun. Darker colors like Black, Burnished Slate, and Barn Red show less road dust and dirt over time, but absorb more heat.

Match Your Property

Pull trim and roof colors from your house, barn, or fence line so the new building reads as part of the property, not an add-on. Neutral pairings like Zinc Gray with White, or Light Stone with Brown, blend easily with most homes.

Check HOA & Deed Restrictions

Some neighborhoods, subdivisions, and rural deed restrictions limit outbuilding colors visible from the road. Confirm your HOA or county requirements before finalizing a combination — our sales team can help you find a code-friendly option.

Popular Color Combinations

A few roof-and-siding pairings customers commonly choose — use them as a starting point, then customize in the 3D design tool.

Classic Farm

Barn Red roof, White siding, Black trim — a traditional look that echoes a classic red barn.

Modern Steel

Pewter Gray roof, Zinc Gray siding, Black trim — a clean, contemporary two-tone gray look.

Earth Tone

Light Stone roof, Pebble Beige siding, Brown trim — blends naturally into wooded or rural properties.

Classic Ag

Galvalume roof, White siding, Pewter Gray trim — the traditional unpainted-metal roof look with a clean painted base.
