You may think that there’s not much that can change in a roof that could make it trendy or not, however the roofing trends in 2025 include some differences from years past. Architectural style asphalt shingles continue to be the top roofing choice for home in the Winston-Salem area. This has been true for more than a decade now and shows no signs of slowing. However, here are some things to consider as you choose your new roof.
Think Energy Efficiency
Solar reflective roofs, also called cool roofing, and solar shingles or solar panels on roofs continue to grow in popularity. Although the cool roofing color options aren’t as broad as standard shingles, there are options that work with most homes. If you’re considering solar panels, make sure your roof is in good condition. You don’t want to take down your solar panels to replace the roof in just a few years.
Sustainability
As roofing is an investment, most homeowners want to do it as seldom as possible. That is one reason that architectural shingles are more popular than 3-tab shingles. They last longer under the same conditions. Additionally, quality architectural shingles, like those from GAF, include stain, impact, and wind resistant technologies which helps them survive harsher weather conditions. Metal roofing can also be an option; however, it too can sustain damage from hail and wind and comes at a significantly higher price than architectural asphalt shingles.
Brown Hues & Color Blend Shingles
If the cost of cool roofing or solar isn’t in your budget, look at lighter colored shingles in earth tones. You may notice a difference in the summer just by installing a light tan or color blend shingle if you currently have a black or dark colored roof. Roofing trends in 2025 (and siding too) predicts that people are choosing more tans and browns rather than grey tones as the color pallet of choice once again. Color blend shingles are also more common than in years past. These shingles add dimension and a pop of color to your home.
