These 2025 Roofing Trends Serve as Solutions

Jan 07, 2025

If you’ve waited the average of 20 years to replace your roof, much has changed since you last thought about the construction and design of a new roof. New trends have shaped the roofing industry to offer homeowners features for their lifestyles and preferences.

“Keeping up with trends is important in constructing a roof that has staying power,” said Wendy Cline, co-owner of J & B Construction. “We’ll see roofs that focus on design, sustainability, and energy efficiency in 2025.” Here’s what roofing will look like this year:

Sustainability

Sustainability has been a buzzword in the last couple of years. Eco-friendly roofing options have helped homeowners reduce their carbon footprint.

“More and more homeowners are using roofing shingles made from recycled plastic and rubber or constructing cool roofs that reflect heat and light away from the home,” said Wendy. “The next up-and-coming sustainability feature will be green roofs with vegetation and soil layers.”

Metal is the most sustainable roofing material, as it is often made out of recycled materials and can be recycled once it has hit the end of its life. A metal roof lasts anywhere from 40 to 70 years, can withstand extreme weather conditions, helps energy efficiency with a reflective coating, and looks like traditional shingles that come in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes.

Energy Efficiency

Technology advances have allowed solar power options to be more accessible to the everyday homeowner.

One feature becoming popular is solar shingles, which, unlike solar panels, are sleek and blend in with other materials on the roof to generate renewable energy. Shingles and panels can also be treated to be climate-resistant. During harsh Wisconsin winters, roofing materials with improved insulation can help regulate indoor temperatures in extreme cold and heat.

“Smart solar monitoring has also become trendy,” said Wendy. “From their smartphones, homeowners can be alerted to leaks or water damage, keep track of weather conditions, and automatically adjust the roof’s optimal solar energy production. This allows the home to be better protected and reduces long-term maintenance costs.”

In addition, in the middle of a power outage, excess energy from battery storage systems now paired with roofs can provide reliability and energy independence.

Design

“Customization is a roofing trend at the forefront of 2025,” Wendy said. “Your roof should reflect your personality and boost your home’s curb appeal.”

Moving away from traditional neutral colors, homeowners are choosing bolder colors on the roof, like blue, which goes well with white siding, red, which pairs with gray siding, and plum, which matches blue or khaki siding.

Mixed materials, like using metal and asphalt shingles together, are also in style, enhancing the aesthetic of the home with a more textured and unique appearance.

The only complaint I have is when I have J&B do my roof in another 30 years or so, is Dave their sales man (a great guy) would not guaranty I could get the same great crew I had this time. They did a fantastic job. Much better than the last roofing company did. A nice bunch of guys. Did a very nice job cleaning up. I'd give them 10 stars but 5 is the limit. If you need a roof done this is the company you want to do it. One more point I need to make. The guys that did the chimney flashing are artists. I went up on the roof when they were done and was very pleased with not only the roofing job but the sculptured sheet metal work. It's kind of a shame it's on the roof and not hanging on the family room wall :). You get the point. Hire em. You'll like em.

We live in a historic designated neighborhood and recently had our 30 year wood shingle roof replaced with another wood roof and new gutters. From Day 1 of the project to the final day, the entire team was responsive, professional, and very competent. When some minor changes were proposed by us they quickly and effortlessly complied. After going through this experience with J&B, I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a roof and gutter replacement, whether it be a simple or complicated project.

J & B did an amazing job from start to finish. The initial meeting at my home took place exactly at the time that was agreed upon and Scott was thorough in his explanations and transparent about costs. When the time came to begin the project, the team that showed up was friendly, professional and timely in getting the project done. The cleanup afterward was such that it looked like they hadn't been there at all. The roof looks great, there were no surprises and Scott came by to inspect the work and explain the warranty upon job completion. I would highly recommend them.

My neighbor had their roof replaced and I was really impressed with the speed, carefulness and quality of the work I saw. Asked her for her experience and she told me she would highly recommend J & B. I called Scott to set an appointment. He showed up on time and was very thorough in his assessment, also letting me know about some other issues and advise on where to get help. J & B is a fantastic company to deal with - their people are incredibly careful about the work they do, clean up and leave the property in the same condition as when they started, were careful about plants and the house, and work very efficiently. The office staff is great about following up, checking in and very responsive to anything that comes up. I was happy with the price charged. If you are looking to replace your roof, you should be calling J & B to get the job done.

We had work done by the J&B team at a commercial property and were very pleased with the whole process. Their estimator met us onsite and communicated with us every step of the way. They went over the scope in detail and the work performed exceeded what we were expecting. They found some additional concerns during the installation that were quickly addressed and communicated to us and to our surprise, there was not an additional charge. Our tenants reached out to share how respectful the employees were during the installation and how clean everything was left afterwards. As the project was wrapped up, we were walked through the completion paperwork and provided the warranty information. Very impressed with the professionalism of this company and would not hesitate to refer their services or use them again in the future.
