Construction & Contractors Blog

If you own rural property that you want to call home, the right building design is important. Today, there are more options than just conventional home designs that have been used in the past. There are many benefits to using custom metal building designs for your rural property. The following custom metal building design ideas can help you create your rural homestead.

Classic Farmhouse Designs with Metal Buildings

The metal building design for your rural home can have a classic farmhouse design. There are some benefits to using metal structures for rural farmhouse designs, including:

  • The storm-resistant steel structure
  • The longevity of the metal building
  • The affordable cost compared to conventional wood framing

The custom metal building will give you more options for the design of your rural farmhouse.

Creating Functional Storage and Workshop Space

Another benefit of custom metal buildings is the option to add functional storage space and workshop areas. If you have land to take care of, you want to have room to store tractors and equipment. With a metal structure, your house and the storage areas can be under the same roof. This can be done with a breezeway that divides the storage you need for your home from the living space.

Open Interior Spaces for Modern Designs and Features

There are also a lot of options to finish the interior spaces of custom metal buildings. These steel structures provide an open space in the interior. This can allow for a lot of unique features in the design of your custom home, including:

  • Open-concept designs with open-air ceilings
  • Custom timber truss features
  • Large spaces for custom features like home theaters

The open space of steel structures gives you options for unique custom design features for your home's interior.

Custom Finishes for the Exterior of Buildings

There are also exterior finish options that you will want to consider for your custom metal building. Some of the options to consider for the exterior finishes of your home design include:

  • Wood-like metal siding finishes
  • Wood siding
  • Durable masonry features for attractive details

The custom finishes you install on the exteriors of the metal buildings will help enhance the appearance and make the structure look more like a traditional house.

The options for custom metal buildings give rural properties solutions for affordable and functional homestead designs. Contact a custom metal building service and talk to them about these features for your home.

Leaking Roofs and Roof Repairs

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
