From vibrant colors that make homes stand out to the growing demand for climate-resilient roofing solutions driven by shifting insurance requirements, the roofing landscape is evolving in exciting ways.
If you’re in the market for a new roof or siding this year, here are some up-and-coming trends you should consider. Whether it’s an upgrade or a new build. CoMitted 365 is here to help you reach your exterior goals!
SUSTAINABLE ROOFING SOLUTIONS
We’re calling it now: sustainability will be the star of 2025. While we navigated plenty of requests for eco-friendly roofing in 2024, we’re only three weeks into the new year and are already seeing a surge in demand for cool roofing, solar panels, and recycled materials. As the climate continues to evolve in the Midwest, so do the needs and priorities of our clients.
Cool Roofs
Cool roofs are quickly rising in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Designed to reflect more sunlight than traditional roofs, these systems significantly lower a building’s temperature. By applying reflective coatings or installing highly reflective shingles, you can take a roof that might hit 150°F on a hot summer day and bring it down to a manageable 50°F. It’s a smart solution for both comfort and energy efficiency.
Solar Panels
As expected, Solar panels are back as a key player. Over the years, they have become more affordable for the average consumer, and their implementation is on the rise. Solar roofing is a great way to make your home and life more sustainable and efficient, but there are a lot of things to consider. Going solar is a big change.
Before taking the plunge, it’s important to evaluate your home’s positioning (south-facing roofs work best) and consider the costs and long-term benefits. Going solar is a big commitment, but when done right, the payoff is well worth it.
Recycled Roofing Materials
One of the simplest ways to embrace sustainability is by opting for recycled roofing materials. Many manufacturers are now prioritizing eco-friendly options, and CoMitted 365 is proud to partner with them. From asphalt shingles made from recycled content to roofing tiles crafted from rubber or plastic, these materials reduce waste while delivering durability and style.
While these suitability practices may cost more upfront, they can drastically reduce your utility bills and environmental impact over time. Saving money and the environment at the same time is a win-win!
INCREASED FOCUS ON CLIMATE-RESILIENT ROOFS
It should come as no surprise that climate-resilient roofs are a topic of conversation in Minnesota. Inclement weather, paired with changes in the insurance industry, both have the roofing world buzzing about how to help homeowners protect their properties from extreme conditions like hail, storms, and snow.
The roofing material you select can make all the difference in the longevity of your roof. For those living in areas prone to severe weather, there are excellent options designed to withstand the elements. Materials such as metal roofing, composite tiles with a Class 4 rating, or rubber roofing are generally considered the most resilient against events such as hailstorms.
However, choosing the right material is only one part of the equation. You need the right team on your side. A skilled roofing contractor will not only install a roof; they work closely with you to provide the best solutions for your unique needs. For example, if you tell a contractor you’re worried about hail damage, they should be able to assess your situation and guide you toward the best material for the job. This level of expertise comes with years of hands-on experience and a long list of satisfied customers.
MODERN DESIGN PREFERENCES
In 2025, homeowners will begin investing in the curb appeal of their homes—and they’re ready to take some risks. The neutral standbys are out. Bold color combos are in. More than ever, homeowners want their homes to reflect their unique style and preferences. From color drenching to innovative pairings, we’re looking forward to all the creative ideas our clients come up with this year.
Custom-Designed Roofing
Advancements in technology have completely transformed the roofing industry, making it easier than ever to give clients a truly customized experience. Today’s roofs aren’t just about protection; homeowners want to make a statement. When it comes to asphalt shingles, dark and dramatic is still all the rage, along with some unique color mixing for a truly personalized design. While we love a metal roof, asphalt shingles can still be beautiful and trendy.
Dark and Moody
In 2025, we’ll continue to see deep, rich colors shine on exteriors. While black and charcoal continue to be popular, newcomers like navy and earthy olive are rising to the occasion. These dark colors scream sophistication and pair well with the minimalist landscaping trends that allow your home to be the main focal point.
A Little Flair
For homeowners looking to add a little extra flair to the exterior of their home, this is the year to play with color and textures. Make a bold choice with vibrant shingles or paint that front door red. You won’t regret it. Maybe color isn’t your thing—that’s okay. Consider incorporating materials like Versetta stone or wood paneling in unexpected areas of your exterior. These subtle touches can leave a big impact while still feeling safe.
LOOKING AHEAD
At CoMitted 365, we love a good challenge. If you’re a homeowner looking to embrace the trends that make your exteriors stand out, we want to hear from you. Whether it’s sustainability, climate resistance, or a unique design idea, 2025 is shaping up to be the year for innovation.
