Color Trends in Roofing and Siding for 2025

July 30, 2025

Modern Meets Timeless

Choosing the right roofing and siding colors is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating a cohesive, long-lasting exterior that reflects your style and enhances your home’s value. At Paese Construction, we specialize in high-end exterior upgrades using premium materials from brands like GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and James Hardie. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re seeing a shift in color preferences that balances modern sophistication with timeless appeal.


Here are the roofing and siding color trends homeowners should be watching and considering for their next upgrade.

Earth-Inspired Neutrals Are Taking Over

Neutral tones have always had staying power, but for 2025, there is a noticeable shift toward more grounded, earthy hues. In roofing, expect to see more warm grays, deep taupes, and browns replacing stark black and cool grays. These tones offer depth without drawing too much attention, blending beautifully with natural surroundings and suburban landscapes.


GAF’s “Weathered Wood” and CertainTeed’s “Driftwood” are popular choices that fit into this trend. These colors work especially well when paired with stonework, brick accents, or wood-toned trim, creating a seamless visual flow.


On the siding side, brands like James Hardie are leading the way with warm neutrals like “Cobble Stone” and “Monterey Taupe.” These offer homeowners the benefit of understated elegance with the versatility to match nearly any style of architecture.

Bold But Balanced Accent Colors

While neutrals dominate the main palette, many homeowners are looking to introduce subtle boldness through accent siding and trim. We’re seeing increased interest in saturated but muted colors, think slate blue, forest green, and deep burgundy.


These shades are often used strategically, applied to gables, dormers, or entryways to provide contrast without overpowering the entire exterior. Owens Corning’s “Pacific Wave” shingle color is a standout example, cool and confident, but not flashy.


Paired with neutral siding and crisp white or black trim, these deeper tones provide dimension and personality while maintaining the overall upscale look that high-end homeowners seek.

Matte Finishes for a Modern Look

Glossy finishes are falling out of favor. In 2025, matte is the preferred choice, especially for roofing materials and fiber cement siding. Matte finishes reduce glare, hide imperfections more effectively, and contribute to a more modern, understated appearance.


James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology comes in low-sheen options that are not only beautiful but engineered to resist fading. Combined with the durability of their fiber cement products, these finishes make a smart investment for homeowners who value both performance and aesthetics.

Monochromatic Designs Are Making a Statement

Monochromatic exteriors where siding, roofing, and trim all fall within the same color family are gaining traction among discerning homeowners. A charcoal gray roof with matching siding and black trim creates a sleek, contemporary look that stands out without relying on high contrast.


This approach works especially well on modern farmhouses, craftsman homes, and even traditional styles looking for a clean refresh. The key is texture and subtle variation in tone to avoid the look falling flat. Architectural shingles from CertainTeed or Owens Corning help add this needed depth and visual interest.

Climate-Conscious Color Selection

Color trends in 2025 are also being shaped by performance and energy efficiency. Lighter-colored roofs that reflect rather than absorb heat are increasingly sought after in warmer climates, while darker colors continue to appeal in northern regions for their ability to aid in heat retention.


Paese Construction helps clients choose roofing materials not only for appearance but for performance in the regional climate. Many of our preferred products are ENERGY STAR® rated, offering long-term value through lower energy bills and improved indoor comfort.

Choose Materials That Elevate the Design

No matter which color palette a homeowner prefers, the quality of the materials is what truly makes a difference. Paese Construction works exclusively with manufacturers known for durability, color retention, and performance under stress. Whether it’s GAF’s Lifetime Roofing System or James Hardie’s fiber cement siding with baked-on finishes, we only use materials that match the standard of the homes we work on.

Final Thoughts

Color trends may shift year to year, but quality, longevity, and timeless design never go out of style. Whether you are building new or updating an existing home, choosing the right color palette for your roof and siding is a chance to enhance curb appeal and increase property value. With professional guidance and premium materials, you can make selections that will stand the test of time.

How to Tell When a Roof Has Reached the End of Its Service Life

February 3, 2026
Many homeowners assume a roof will clearly announce when it needs to be replaced. In reality, roofs often fail gradually, and the signs of an aging roofing system are not always dramatic. Understanding when a roof has reached the end of its service life can help homeowners make proactive decisions that protect their property, rather than reacting to costly damage after failure occurs.  A roof is a system, not just a surface. Even when shingles appear intact, underlying components may no longer be performing as intended.

How Proper Roof Replacement Protects the Rest of Your Home

January 27, 2026
A roof does far more than keep rain out. It is a critical structural system that protects nearly every other component of a home. When a roof reaches the end of its service life, replacing it is not only about improving appearance or addressing visible wear. A properly executed roof replacement plays a major role in safeguarding the structure, interior, and long term value of the entire property.

Replacing Your Roof Before Selling Your Home: What to Consider

January 14, 2026
When preparing to sell a home, many owners focus on interior updates, staging, and cosmetic improvements.

Replacing an aging or visibly worn roof before listing a property can significantly impact buyer confidence, inspection outcomes, and overall marketability.

What High End Roofing and Siding Materials Really Offer Homeowners

January 6, 2026
When homeowners consider roof replacement or exterior upgrades, materials matter as much as workmanship. High end products are not chosen for name recognition alone.

The start of a new year often inspires homeowners to set goals for improvement.

At Paese Construction, we believe the roof should be the first priority when planning home improvement goals for the year ahead.

Snow, Ice, and Aging Roofs: Why Replacement Matters During the Christmas Season

December 23, 2025
The Christmas season often brings colder temperatures, shorter days, and an increased likelihood of snow and ice. While many homeowners are focused on holiday gatherings and year end responsibilities, winter weather places significant stress on residential roofing systems. For homes with aging roofs, this time of year can reveal structural limitations that make replacement a practical and forward looking decision. At Paese Construction, we work with homeowners who recognize that winter conditions do not create roofing problems, they expose them.

How Roof Replacement Addresses Hidden Damage That Repairs Cannot Resolve

December 16, 2025
Many homeowners first notice roofing problems when a leak appears or shingles begin to fail. At that point, it can be tempting to look for a quick fix. However, surface level issues often mask deeper problems that cannot be corrected with spot repairs. At Paese Construction, we specialize exclusively in full roof replacement because replacing the entire roofing system is often the only way to properly address hidden damage and protect the long term integrity of the home.

At Paese Construction, we specialize exclusively in replacements rather than repairs, which allows us to reimagine a home’s exterior holistically. Through premium siding, roofing, windows, and complementary architectural details, we help homeowners achieve a refined, contemporary look that enhances curb appeal and long term performance.

The Importance of Proper Ventilation When Completing a Full Roof Replacement

December 2, 2025
A full roof replacement offers homeowners the opportunity to strengthen the performance, durability, and efficiency of their homes. While many people focus primarily on the shingle material or the aesthetic transformation, one of the most important components of a successful roof replacement is proper ventilation. Ventilation plays a central role in the long term health of the roof structure, the comfort of the living space, and the overall lifespan of the new roofing system. When we complete a roof replacement, ventilation is never an afterthought. It is a fundamental part of the installation process that ensures the entire system performs as it should.
