As 2024 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to start planning your 2025 building and renovation projects. Whether you’re breaking ground on a new home, renovating your current space, restoring a historic property, or designing your dream vacation cottage, inspiration is the first step toward turning your vision into reality.

To help you get started, we’re bringing you some 2025 trends and ideas to guide you through your next project with Enviroshake.

Making Bold Statements

In 2025, roofs are taking center stage with bold statements and intricate details. Incorporating architectural features like arched windows, custom skylights, copper accents, contrasting siding, stone or brick columns, solar panels, snow guards and more can add character and unique charm to your home. These thoughtful touches not only boost curb appeal but also make your property stand out for all the right reasons.

If you live in a snowy region and you’re considering adding snow guards to your roof, you’ll want to think about whether you want them to stand out or blend in with your roofing material. Luckily, Enviroshake supplies Alpine SnowGuards to compliment your Enviroshake roof no matter what you decide!

Remember, the colors of the materials you choose play a key role in setting the tone of your exterior design. For instance, our classic Aged Cedar Enviroshake pairs beautifully with copper accents and brown brick or stone, bringing out warm, earthy tones. On the other hand, when paired with greys and whites, the Aged Cedar color takes on cooler, more refined hues, offering a versatile look that complements any style.

"Brad Sawyer, from Enviroshake, personally followed up on every little detail and responded quickly with resources that made all the difference in my Historic Preservation Commission review. I am deeply indebted to him for his patience and caring through a drawn-out process not of his making. Whatever samples or photographs I needed were express shipped to get to me by tight deadlines. Brad was a true partner from beginning to end."

Sustainable Design

A greener planet is always in style. The demand for eco-conscious materials continues to grow, but no one’s sacrificing style for sustainability in 2025. Enviroshake’s premium products are designed to emulate the traditional look of cedar shake or slate, while being made from 95% sustainable materials. Enviroshake is also 100% recyclable, and the water runoff is potable.

"As a builder of many fine custom homes, I have come across many different products in the marketplace. I wanted the look of cedar but was very concerned by the quality of the cedar product available to me. I have learned that with such a high demand for real cedar products, the shingles and shakes being used were harvested from many junior growth trees, which results in a roof that may not last for up to 15 years before needing replacement. I wanted to achieve a cedar shake look for the roof, while being eco-friendly, and budget conscientious with no maintenance at my own personal cottage. Enviroshake was the obvious answer." 

-Robert Cohen, Builder

"Enviroshake was the logical choice as we were looking for something that had the look of cedar shakes but was durable and long-lasting as well as environmentally sustainable. We think the product looks great on the Doig River Cultural Centre in Rose Prairie, BC, and are really wanting to see how it looks on our next project."

Durability

With unpredictable weather patterns on the rise, homeowners are prioritizing durable materials that withstand the test of time. Enviroshake’s roofing systems are built to handle it all—whether it’s blistering summer heat, relentless rain, or heavy snow. Your roof should be more than a cover for your home; it should be your fortress.

"We designed the additions and renovations of the St. Elizabeth Church in Ridgefield, Connecticut. As the existing wood roof was starting to have problems, I suggested Enviroshake as a long-term solution and aesthetically equivalent to wood. We specialize in ICF construction (insulated concrete forms) to give our projects centuries of life vs. decades. Therefore, using a synthetic roof was appropriate for longevity and storms. Enviroshake meets the challenge."

- Leigh Overland, Principal, Leigh Overland Architect LLC

"Working with Enviroshake is a force multiplier because not only do you have a unique product to present to the building owner, but you get Enviroshake’s entire team of sales, production, and design working to make your specific project successful. Enviroshake is probably one of the best companies I have worked with in helping me with sales, design, bidding, and install. They are there to make sure the installer has a successful and profitable project, but they are also really invested into the building owner and have a process to ensure high quality installation for building owners. Excellent company and product."
