One of the most common questions we get is how to give a Red Iron Steel Building a more residential look rather than a commercial or industrial feel. Thanks to the versatility of steel, there are countless ways to customize and enhance your building to match your style and needs.
Raising the roof pitch and incorporating different porches is a fantastic way to enhance curb appeal quickly.
A higher roof pitch can give the house a more elegant, grand appearance. It can make the home feel more open, inviting, and visually dynamic. Depending on the style, a steeper pitch can complement rustic, traditional, or modern designs, providing a more unique, eye-catching silhouette.

Adding porches whether front, side, or wrap-around adds dimension to the exterior and creates a welcoming space. Different porch designs, such as gable or craftsman-style, can make a house feel more homey and upscale. A well-placed porch also improves symmetry and creates a cozy entry point.
To give a sharp look, some Gable Steel Owners have chosen to further enhance their building design by designing their build for horizontal siding.
Other Gable Steel owners have opted to use Hardie Board siding to meet HOA requirements or to seamlessly blend their steel building with existing structures on their property.
Whatever your goals, let your Project Coordinator know so that the best option for your residential building can be designed for you.
