A beautiful garage transformation in Wisconsin

When Ron Fencl, a business owner and homeowner, set out to make a bold visual upgrade to his house, he chose a material that would deliver immediate impact: black Metal Batten siding from Metal Exteriors. The project began as a focused exterior improvement on just two front-facing walls, but the result was strong enough to completely change the look and feel of the home.

What makes this project stand out is how much visual value came from a relatively limited scope. The original exterior was understated and blended into the neighborhood, but the finished result creates a sharp, modern contrast that instantly elevates curb appeal. Black Metal Batten siding gave the home a more architectural, intentional appearance while adding depth, dimension, and a refined finish.

Ron said the transformation “made a statement” and “completely elevated the look of the house,” which is exactly the kind of response we hope for from homeowners when investing in exterior upgrades. His feedback reinforces an important point for anyone considering a siding replacement or accent wall project: the right color and profile can redefine a home without requiring a full exterior overhaul.

He also shared that he absolutely loves the product and encouraged the team to be proud of what they’ve built. That kind of response reflects more than satisfaction with the finished look; it speaks to confidence in the product, the craftsmanship, and the overall experience.

As a bonus, Ron mentioned that he plans to replace his roof next year and will be looking at Metal Exteriors’ black roofing panels for the next phase of the project. That creates a natural path for continued exterior improvement and shows how one successful project can lead to the next.
