In the ever-evolving world of home design, exterior remodeling trends play a crucial role in enhancing curb appeal and reflecting the homeowner’s personality. As we step into a new era, the fusion of contrasting elements is taking center stage, creating a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity. At Dwell Roofing, we understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top trends in exterior remodeling, focusing on the art of balancing brick, bold color, and wood elements for a contemporary rustic look.

Balancing Act: The Timeless Elegance of Brick

Brick has long been a staple in architectural design, evoking a sense of timeless elegance and durability. In modern exterior remodels, we see a resurgence of brick being used strategically to balance contemporary aesthetics. Rather than covering entire facades, architects and designers are incorporating brick as accent walls or stylish façade details. This technique adds depth, texture, and a touch of tradition to an otherwise modern exterior.

Bold Color Statements: Breaking the Monotony

Gone are the days of neutral palettes dominating the exterior color schemes. Today, homeowners are embracing bold and vibrant hues to make a powerful statement. Incorporating bold colors on doors, shutters, or even as an accent trim can breathe new life into an existing structure. Think deep blues, rich greens, or even daring reds – colors that not only catch the eye but also express the homeowner’s personality and style. The key is to balance these bold choices with more neutral elements to avoid overwhelming the overall look.

Wood Elements: Warmth and Character

To soften the edges of contemporary design and infuse warmth into the exterior, the use of wood elements is gaining popularity. From wooden siding to decorative beams and pergolas, wood brings a touch of nature that complements the sleekness of modern materials. The juxtaposition of wood against clean lines creates a visual interest that is both inviting and sophisticated. Additionally, wood is a versatile material that can adapt to various styles, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a contemporary rustic look.

The Contemporary Rustic Look: Merging Tradition with Modernity

The contemporary rustic look is all about finding the delicate balance between traditional charm and modern sophistication. Combining brick, bold colors, and wood elements achieves this fusion seamlessly. Picture a home with a brick-accented façade, a bold-colored front door, and wooden elements like shutters or a pergola. The result is a home that feels rooted in tradition yet exudes a fresh and current vibe.

At Dwell Roofing, we believe that your home’s exterior should be a reflection of your unique style. By incorporating the timeless charm of brick, embracing bold colors, and infusing the warmth of wood elements, you can achieve a contemporary rustic look that stands the test of time. As exterior remodeling trends continue to evolve, our team is here to help you transform your home into a masterpiece that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity. Contact us today to embark on the journey of creating a home exterior that truly speaks to you.

They replaced my roof and updated a section of the fence. The work was done quickly with no delays.

We had a big storm since then and both the roof and the fence withstood it with no issues. The fence looks straight and sturdy.

I recommend working with Josh De La Rosa. He is knowledgeable, always polite and friendly. I saved his contacts for any future projects I might have 🙂
After many failed attempts with trying to reach the roofing company that previously serviced my roof and where I have my warranty… I reached out to Dwell Roofing & Exteriors. I had a roof leak that was causing damage to my living room wall. It was getting worse and we had more rain coming. Josh came out quickly, assessed the damage and found the roof leak. He quoted me upfront and the cost was fair and reasonable. They took before and after photos and did a phenomenal job. Very impressed with the quality of work, how quickly they got it done, how respectful and friendly the crew were and didn’t overcharge me. Will definitely use this company again! A+ rating!
Response from the owner:Hello Stefanie, Thank you for your trust in our company and for sharing your experience with Josh and Dwell Roofing! Roof leaks can be very tricky to assess and repair but we do our best and stick with it until the problem is solved! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any additional exterior leak repairs. Thanks again,
I purchased my home in 2014 and had always dreaded the day I’d have to tackle major repairs - especially the siding. After years of windstorms here in DFW, that day finally came. A major storm last year caused damage to both the exterior (roof and siding) and interior (water damage). Unfortunately, my go-to roofing company completely dropped the ball -- delayed claims, no follow-ups, and a total lack of transparency.

Seeing the writing on the wall that I couldn't depend on them, I decided to explore alternative providers. That's when I discovered Dwell Roofing, and from the jump, they stood out. Their website impressed me with transparent, educational content -- with no hard sales -- just solid info. After connecting with their team, I was even more impressed. They were knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely helpful—nothing like the stereotypical “roofing salesman” we all dread.

They quickly responded to my request for estimates, offered fair pricing, and delivered excellent work. Based on that stellar experience, I returned a few months later to have all my siding replaced, and I couldn't be happier. The pricing was fair and the results were beyond my expectations. My house looks brand new.

But what truly made the experience outstanding was working with Josh De La Rosa. I had a million questions, and Josh always responded quickly with patience, kindness, and professionalism, even after hours. He even brought over paint samples in person to help me decide on a color, too. That gesture sure meant a lot and made our decision making process about the color of the home much easier. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way.

Thanks to Josh, Dwell is now my go-to company for any future work. To the team at Dwell: Josh is the reason you’ve now got a lifelong customer -- please give that man a raise!!
