by Badgerland Restoration & Remodeling
Your home’s siding is more than just protection against the elements — it’s the face your home shows the world. And in 2025, curb appeal is all about bold personality, timeless materials, and color palettes that stand out (in a good way). Whether you're building new, remodeling, or recovering from storm damage, choosing the right siding can completely transform your home’s appearance and resale value.
As a trusted remodeling contractor serving North Central Wisconsin, we’re seeing clear trends that homeowners are loving this year. Let’s dive into the top siding colors and styles that are boosting curb appeal in 2025.

Trending Siding Colors for 2025
1. Deep Earth Tones
Rich, grounding colors like Charcoal Gray, Slate Blue, and Deep Green are dominating the market. These shades add sophistication and contrast beautifully with black trim, natural wood accents, and stonework.
Customer favorite: “Deep Water” by Norandex — a dramatic yet classy color that turns heads and complements Wisconsin’s wooded landscapes.
2. Warm Neutrals
Neutral doesn’t mean boring anymore. Creamy beige, greige, taupe, and soft khaki tones offer timeless appeal with warmth. These shades pair well with white trim and create a welcoming vibe.
This customer's choice: Cedar Knolls Graphite D5 accented with white trim, soffit & fascia
3. Bold Black & Modern Dark
Matte black and espresso brown siding is rising in popularity for homeowners looking for a modern farmhouse or sleek, architectural style. Paired with warm wood or crisp metal roofing, it’s a stunning statement.

4. Two-Tone Combinations
Mixing horizontal lap siding with board & batten or shake-style accents in a second color (like white + navy, or tan + olive) creates dimension and custom character.
Inspiration: This home has a tan shade board & batten mixed with a light creamy colored horizontal siding over the gables.
Popular Siding Styles in 2025
1. Steel Siding
Durable, eco-friendly, and available in a wide range of modern profiles and textures. Homeowners love steel for its longevity and low maintenance, especially in Wisconsin's unpredictable weather.
This home: Edco Steel Lap Siding in the color Canyon
2. Board & Batten Vertical Siding
Perfect for modern farmhouse or rustic styles. This vertical look adds height and charm — and it's trending hard in both rural and suburban neighborhoods.
For a Dramatic Look: The virtical board & batten mixed with Shake siding and stone gives this home a rustic but modern flair.
3. Shingle & Shake Accents
A growing trend among homeowners is using shake-style siding in the gables to break the monotony of traditional horizontal siding. It’s a simple upgrade that delivers serious curb appeal and gives your home that custom, designer look without going overboard.
This homeowner's choice: Timbercrest D-4 Manor siding Timbercrest Board & Batten color Slate for gable
4. Traditional Lap Siding (Double 4” or 5”)
Still a top choice, especially in updated color palettes. It provides a clean, horizontal flow that works on virtually any home.
Why Curb Appeal Matters
Updating your siding doesn’t just boost aesthetics — it can add real value to your home. According to the 2025 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, siding replacement ranks as one of the
highest ROI exterior upgrades, often recouping
70-80% of its cost in resale value.
