Home exterior trends come and go, but some changes shape the way homes look and perform for years to come. In 2025, homeowners are looking for exteriors that offer both style and function, with a focus on energy efficiency, natural colors, mixed materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. These trends reflect what buyers want now and what adds long-term value to a home.
At Unified Home Remodeling, we work with the leading brands in windows, doors, siding, and roofing. That means we’re bringing these trends to life with top-quality materials and expert installation. Here’s a look at the biggest 2025 exterior home remodeling trends and how our products fit in.
Home Exterior Trend #1
Sustainable, Energy-Efficient, and Eco-Friendly Materials
Homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more energy-efficient and sustainable without sacrificing durability or style. Manufacturers are stepping up with high-performance materials that lower energy costs, improve insulation, and reduce environmental impact.
Roofing and Insulation Built for the Future
GAF is raising the bar in roofing technology. Its Timberline HDZ RS Shingles won Good Housekeeping’s 2025 Home Renovation Award for Sustainability.
These shingles are designed for better durability and heat reflection, keeping homes cooler in the summer and reducing energy use.
For homeowners looking for a solar-powered roofing option, GAF’s Timberline Solar™ Roof System is the first nailable solar shingle, blending seamlessly with traditional roofing.
Owens Corning is also expanding its shingle recycling initiative, aiming to recycle 2 million tons of shingles annually by 2030.
Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
Windows and doors play a huge role in energy efficiency, which is why brands are focusing on better insulation, weather resistance, and long-term durability.
Andersen Windows has introduced triple-pane glass for its 400 Series Windows, meeting the latest ENERGY STAR® v7.0 standards. This upgrade improves insulation, reduces outside noise, and helps regulate indoor temperatures.
CertainTeed’s Landmark PRO Shingles also won a Good Housekeeping Home Renovation Award for Exterior Enhancements. These shingles offer a weather-resistant design that stands up to extreme conditions while improving a home’s overall efficiency.
Home Exterior Trend #2
Earthy and Natural Color Palettes
Warm neutrals and deep, moody hues are shaping exterior home design in 2025. Homeowners want colors that feel natural and timeless, blending with the environment rather than standing out.
Siding, Windows, and Doors in Trending Colors
Alside Siding’s latest homeowner survey found that off-white and cream are the most popular siding colors for 2025, with 18% of homeowners preferring these classic shades. These colors offer a clean, modern look without being too harsh or trendy.
ProVia is also embracing natural woodgrain textures in its doors and siding, giving homeowners a way to get the warmth of wood without the maintenance.
Black Windows and Garage Doors
Bold contrast remains a popular choice, especially with black-framed windows and garage doors. Pairing dark accents with lighter siding colors gives homes a sharp, modern look that stands out without looking too trendy.
Home Exterior Trend #3
Mixed Textures and Handcrafted Elements
Homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes stand out, and mixing different materials and textures is one of the biggest trends of 2025. Rather than sticking with just one type of siding, roofing, or trim, more people are combining finishes to add contrast and character.
Blending Siding Styles and Materials
Alside Siding has expanded its ASCEND® Composite Cladding line to include 12” vertical Board & Batten profiles, which offer a modern, high-contrast look when paired with traditional horizontal siding. Mixing Board & Batten with Shakes or Dutchlap siding styles are becoming more common, giving homes a layered, visually dynamic exterior.
Masonry accents are also gaining popularity. More homeowners are adding brick or stone veneer to entryways, lower siding sections, or around windows to break up larger expanses of siding. Eldorado Stone’s Ranchers Ridge™ and Nordic Peak™ colorways bring earthy, natural tones to these stone features, helping them blend seamlessly with the rest of the house.
Metal Roofing and High-Contrast Trim
Metal roofing is being used in small accent areas rather than full-roof applications. Homeowners are adding standing seam metal roofing over porches, bay windows, and dormers to create contrast and enhance durability.
This pairs well with Azek trim, a high-performance PVC-based trim material that adds a clean, low-maintenance finish around windows, doors, and gables.
This trend is all about personalization. By mixing textures, colors, and materials, homeowners can create an exterior that feels unique yet looks timeless.
Home Exterior Trend #4
Bold Front Doors and Statement Entryways
Entry doors are getting more attention in 2025 as homeowners look for ways to add character to their homes. A bold front door creates a strong first impression and serves as a focal point.
Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Color Capsule includes shades like Chartreuse, Mauve Finery, and Clove, which are being used to make front doors stand out. These colors contrast well with neutral siding and add personality without overwhelming the home’s exterior.
Craftsman-style entry doors remain the most popular choice. They feature woodgrain textures, glass panels, and a sturdy, timeless look that fits with many architectural styles. HMI Doors has released new custom steel and fiberglass door designs that allow homeowners to create a unique entryway with intricate glass details and decorative paneling.
This trend is about more than just color. Many homeowners are also installing doors with modern hardware, oversized handles, and sidelights to let in more natural light.
Home Exterior Trend #5
Expanding Indoor-Outdoor Living Spaces
Connecting indoors and outdoors is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners. Outdoor living areas have become a natural extension of the home with the addition of large windows, retractable screens, and pass-throughs.
Andersen Windows has introduced a new version of its A-Series Fibrex Composite Windows with a thinner profile, giving homeowners more glass and less frame without sacrificing durability. Their new pass-through windows are also gaining popularity.
These wide, folding, or sliding windows are being installed in kitchens and dining areas to create a direct connection to patios and outdoor spaces.
Cambridge Pavers has introduced 13×27 Cap Pavingstones with ArmorTec, designed for patios, walkways, and outdoor seating areas. These pavers are built to resist fading and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Andersen has also expanded its retractable screen portfolio to include metal hardware and improved retention performance. This allows homeowners to upgrade older Andersen patio doors with modern screens that blend seamlessly into the door frame when not in use. There’s a growing demand for larger patio doors, which make creating open-air living spaces effortless.
Outdoor areas are becoming more functional, with covered patios, fire features, and outdoor kitchens making year-round entertaining possible.
As homes continue to be designed with a greater focus on blending indoor and outdoor spaces, these features are becoming a must-have.
