Modern Curb Appeal: Updating a Brick Ranch with Metal Roofing & Board and Batten in Coshocton, OH
Brick ranch homes are a staple across Ohio—timeless, solid, and functional. But when it comes to giving them a fresh look, many homeowners aren’t sure where to start. The good news? You don’t need to completely overhaul your home to make a dramatic impact.
In Coshocton, OH, one homeowner gave their brown brick ranch a bold, clean new look by updating the top and trim—not the brick itself. We installed a Standing Seam Metal Roof in Matte Black with a snow bar, paired with White Board and Batten siding and Black Gutters and Downspouts. The result? Crisp lines, striking contrast, and a modern update that still fits the home’s original style.
Why Metal Roofing Works on Brick Ranches
Metal roofing is one of the most durable and long-lasting materials you can put on your home. For ranches, which often have simple, low-slope rooflines, the clean lines of standing seam metal amplify the architecture rather than distract from it. In this case, Matte Black gave the home bold definition while keeping a neutral tone that pairs well with any exterior material.
Adding a snow bar ensures extra protection during Ohio winters by preventing snow from sliding off too quickly—especially helpful over walkways and entries.
Using Board and Batten to Add Dimension
The addition of white vertical board and batten siding on the front gave the home more depth and dimension. This texture breaks up the horizontal layout of a ranch and introduces vertical lines that draw the eye upward—making the home appear taller and more modern. It's also a great solution when you want to add interest without removing or altering the brick.
Black Gutters and Trim for a Sharp Finish
Black gutters and downspouts provided the perfect finishing touch, framing the home and tying into the black roof for a cohesive look. This subtle detail helps define rooflines and adds contrast against lighter siding tones like white or island pearl.
Considering a Ranch Makeover?
You don’t need to replace everything to achieve a clean, updated look. Focusing on your roof, accent siding, and trim can completely change the feel of your home—while maintaining its core character.
