If you're planning a siding upgrade in 2025, there's never been a better time to think outside the box—and outside your home. As more homeowners embrace curb appeal and customization, siding choices are evolving fast. Whether you're renovating a classic Colonial or adding flair to a modern farmhouse, the right material and style can completely transform your home’s exterior.

Here at Bella Construction, we’re helping homeowners across Western PA bring their vision to life using innovative siding solutions built to last. Here are six of the biggest siding trends in 2025 that combine personality, durability, and value.

1. Mixed Materials: Contrast is the New Classic

Want to boost your curb appeal instantly? Start mixing it up. Literally.

“Homeowners are getting creative with their exteriors by blending different siding materials like horizontal lap siding with stone, metal, or natural wood accents,” says Paige Cermak, siding expert at Bella Construction. “It’s a great way to add dimension and create a high-end, custom look—without doing a full overhaul.”

This trend adds warmth and personality to both new builds and older homes. We’re seeing more homeowners combine textures and colors to highlight entryways, dormers, or gables.

Pro tip: Pair lap siding with vertical panels or brick for a look that feels both fresh and timeless.

2. Vertical Siding Applications: Modern Lines Meet Classic Styles

While horizontal lap siding remains a favorite, vertical siding is gaining traction among homeowners looking for something modern yet natural. “Vertical installations offer clean lines and a contemporary touch that works well with a variety of home styles—from farmhouse to mid-century,” Paige explains.

According to recent trends, nearly half of homeowners who choose wood siding are opting for vertical applications. The result is a subtle but impactful shift in your home’s overall aesthetic—and it’s a smart move if you want to stand out in the neighborhood.

3. Fire-Resilient Materials: Safety Meets Style

Durability is always in style, and now fire-resistant siding materials are becoming a top priority—especially in wildfire-prone regions. While Western PA isn’t known for wildfires, we do face severe weather and temperature swings that can put your siding to the test.

“Today’s siding products offer the look of natural wood with built-in resistance to fire, pests, and harsh weather,” says Paige. “It’s a smart investment in both your home’s protection and its long-term value.”

Materials like fiber cement offer that natural woodgrain finish without the upkeep—and they’re a great choice for homeowners who want durability with peace of mind.

4. Bold Color Palettes: It’s Time to Break Up with Beige

Neutrals like white, gray, and beige still have their place—but in 2025, we’re seeing a major shift toward bolder, nature-inspired colors.

“Homeowners are leaning into richer hues like deep greens, slate blues, golden yellows, and even barn reds,” Paige notes. “These colors still work beautifully with natural surroundings, but they help the home make a confident statement.”

Bella Construction offers a wide selection of fade-resistant color options, so your bold choice will stay bright and beautiful for years to come.

5. Visualization Tools: See Before You Say Yes

Choosing new siding can be exciting—but also intimidating. What if the color is off? What if you regret going vertical?

To ease that anxiety, home exterior visualization tools are making it easier than ever to experiment with different combinations before committing. “We love using design tools that let our customers ‘try on’ different materials and colors before installation,” says Paige. “It helps bring your vision to life and ensures we’re all on the same page.”

At Bella Construction, we use photo-based design software to mock up siding options and give you a clear picture of the final result before the first panel is ever installed.

6. Shingle Siding: Coastal Charm, Local Appeal

Shingle siding isn’t just for beach houses anymore. With its rich texture and classic appeal, this style is making a comeback across architectural styles—including Craftsman, Cape Cod, and even modern builds.

“Shingle siding adds texture and softness to a home’s exterior,” says Paige. “It’s a great way to add detail to dormers or upper levels, or to contrast more modern siding below.”

Although lap and vertical siding are still the most popular, shingles are finding their place as an accent or focal point for homeowners who want something unique but timeless.
