Residential Metal House Design: A Smart Living Approach to Efficient, Stylish, and Functional Homes

Looking to build a home that saves energy and lowers your overall maintenance costs? Armstrong Steel’s residential metal houses might be the right choice for you.

Residential metal houses are more durable, efficient, and affordable compared to traditional homes made of wood, brick, and concrete. And don’t worry—your house doesn’t have to look too industrial. We offer customizations to make these structures exactly as you want, whether you’re after a trendy design or a contemporary or rustic style. Our building consultants can turn your dream home into a reality.

What makes metal buildings better?

Steel structures are built in a way that saves resources. Plus, these residential metal houses last longer and require minimal maintenance. At Armstrong Steel, we build these structures with high-performance and low-impact metal that’s efficient to manufacture, ship, and install. Moreover, our high-quality systems generate less waste since we specifically engineer each according to your needs and your area’s building codes.

Energy efficiency is among the key features of modern homes, and that’s one of the benefits you can experience from our residential metal houses. This feature is not limited to the materials we use but is present throughout the structure’s life. High-quality insulation is an important detail that can make your home energy-efficient and easier to incorporate into steel structures.

Our rigid-frame steel buildings can be insulated much better than structures made with wooden frames. So, your metal home can be more energy efficient to cut cooling and heating costs and increase your savings. At Armstrong Steel, our in-house building consultants will work with you to design every aspect of your house, including the number and placement of windows, doors, lighting, heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation. Our goal is to help you build an energy-efficient place that you will be proud to call home.

Practical for this economy

Today’s housing market causes uncertainties with fluctuating and rising costs. As a result, many homeowners must delay building or purchasing a home.

You don’t have to do that when you choose one of our pre-engineered residential metal houses. These structures feature a clear-span design that is more cost-effective and versatile. This means you can maximize the floor plan and interior height for any purpose. Let our building consultants and engineers help you finish your home’s interior to save you more money and time.

Residential metal houses make it easier to expand down the road, with many options in length or width extensions. This is more affordable than a traditional home addition project. Plus, you don’t have to wait too long to move in.

Faster and easier to build

One of the downsides of wood and concrete homes is they take a lot of time to build. You will have to wait at least a few months before moving. Residential metal houses from Armstrong Steel are more straightforward and quicker to erect.

That’s because we prepare each custom pre-engineered steel home according to your requirements and use only the necessary materials to avoid waste and extra costs. All the components are engineered in-house and designed to seamlessly fit together and reduce labor costs. Additionally, we provide comprehensive assembly drawings, numbered components, and pre-punched connections to streamline the erection. These benefits also lead to more savings on your part.

Create your stylish dream home.

We don’t follow the same standards as our competition to avoid cookie-cutter designs on our residential metal houses. Instead, we treat every project as unique as the homeowner while committing to constant design improvements. We prefer to use steel because it’s flexible for all kinds of interior and exterior finishes. Moreover, we follow your exact requirements when designing your metal home so it doesn’t look like a warehouse.

At Armstrong Steel, we design residential metal houses to work with any wall or roofing, including brick, CMU, shingles, stucco, or steel panels. It’s our way of preventing your structure from looking too industrial. Don’t worry because our friendly building consultants will help create and design your dream home and turn your vision into a reality.

Homes that last longer

When designing residential metal houses, we take the time to understand your load requirements and building codes to ensure they will stand the test of time. Our durable steel homes can withstand high winds, heavy snowfall, and earthquakes. We can coat the steel roof panels with Galvalume, an aluminum compound that increases the material’s lifespan and prevents rusting. And you don’t have to worry because we offer a 35-year rust-through perforation warranty for our roofing systems.

In addition, our structural systems are covered by a 50-year warranty for your peace of mind. Armstrong Steel residential metal houses are non-combustible and less likely to be destroyed by fire. We also use superior finishes and coatings on every home to keep it attractive, and we hope our 40-year paint warranty can increase your confidence that your house will stay attractive for many years to come.
