How Custom Steel Barns Add Value To Your Property?

How Custom Steel Barns Add Value To Your Property?

Custom metal barns provide much-needed storage and shelter for livestock and agricultural tools. They also add significant value to your property. These versatile structures are flexible, robust, and incredibly customizable, allowing homeowners to tailor their barns to specific needs.

There is a wide range of design options, from traditional red barns to modern, sleek looking metal barns to industrial-style buildings, that can enhance the appeal of any property. Investing in a custom built barn shows potential buyers that you have taken time and effort to create a functional space, thereby increasing its resale value.

Unlocking The Potential: How Custom Metal Barns Enhances Property Value

Durability

[A long-lasting structure adds value to your property.]

Steel is 25 times stronger than wood. It is also more durable and does not get affected by changing seasons. It neither rots or decays nor bends, twists, wraps, or cracks with time. Due to this, metal barns retain their structural strength, making them an attractive buying option.

Versatility

[Customization options increase property appeal and functionality.]

Who doesn’t like to have a custom built structure on their lot that matches the existing building and makes everything look seamlessly connected? You can add desired features that suit your preferences and needs, which we will discuss later in this blog. So, keep reading until the end.

Increased Storage Space

[It adds practical value to your property.]

Extra space never hurts. This place can be used to store hay bales, livestock feed, or harvest. You can also increase the height of your metal barn. Choose a gambrel roofing style to create a loft space on top. This space can be used as a living area or office space.

Potential For Additional Income

[Creating rental or business opportunities.]

You can rent off the space or start your business, such as an event venue or wedding venue. You can even start a restaurant business. You can use it for personal storage, farm tools & equipment, workshop space, or other commercial purpose.

Health Benefits

[Molds, pests, and toxic fumes-free space make it lucrative for potential buyers.]

A custom built barn using structural steel is resistant to mold, mildew, and other pests. It does not emit toxic volatile organic compounds with time. A healthy space is always more productive and appealing to potential renters or buyers.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

[Attractive barns improve overall property aesthetics.]

You can add external facades or siding to your metal barns to boost their overall aesthetics. Various metal sidings, such as 3D, curved, or perforated panels, enhance the overall look. Add some local flowering plants or landscaping to make the barn look inviting.

Low Upkeep Costs

[It saves money in the long run.]

One reason metal barns are widely used in the agricultural and residential sectors these days is their low maintenance cost. A metal barn needs less repair and replacement. The cost of termite inspection and control will be null. Galvanized steel does not rust due to its zinc coating.

Energy Efficiency

[Insulated steel barns reduce utility costs.]

You can insulate your barn and add a vent system to it. This makes internal temperature constant for longer, reducing moisture and humidity inside. Thus, the HAVC system can work effectively. You can also add solar panels or shingles to the barn’s roof to reduce dependence on the power grid. All this will eventually reduce energy bills. Fewer utility bills decrease the monthly cost of the barn, leading to a better return value in the future.

Resale Value

[Custom steel barns can increase property resale prices.]

Custom metal barns stay put through years with minimal intervention. This makes it a very lucrative deal for the right buyer. Anyone buying the property knows they won’t need to spend much on steel barns after-care.

Protect From Weather

[Custom built barns provide overall weather protection.]

Whether dealing with high-speed winds, heavy snow loads, hail storms, or continued downpours, a metal barn can be designed to keep items safe from external threats. For any external threat, steel is there to protect your assets. If you live in a region prone to tornadoes and hurricanes, ask your metal builder for certified steel barns.

Safe & Secure

[Strong steel doors and windows with bars.]

To deter prying eyes, add robust steel doors to your custom steel barn. You can also add bars and reinforcement at the opening to make the space safe. Add metal mesh to the opening of vents and windows to discourage rodents and insects. The more safety, the easier it is to resell.

Following Custom Features That You Can Add To A Metal Barn

  • Roof Style: gambrel, vertical, horizontal.
  • Insulation: single/ double bubble, woven R17 insulation.
  • Ventilation: Passive or active vents.
  • Steel Frame: 12 or 14 gauge.
  • Structural Trim to the roof eaves to secure panels in place.
  • Color: monotonous or separate colors for roof, trim, wainscot, and door/ window frame.
  • Gutter with a Downspout for collecting water.
