Transforming a Stucco Home with Steel Siding in Fargo, ND
When homeowners in Fargo decided it was time for an exterior upgrade, they knew exactly what they wanted—durability, longevity, and a completely refreshed look. Their home’s original stucco siding had become outdated, and they were ready for a modern solution that would stand up to North Dakota’s harsh climate.
The Goal: Long‑Lasting Protection with a Fresh New Style
Working with Western Products, the homeowners chose a steel siding system designed to deliver both lasting performance and elevated curb appeal. The goal was to cover the aging stucco exterior with a clean, streamlined look that would completely transform the property while reducing long‑term maintenance.
The result is a stunning two‑tone exterior that blends texture and contrast beautifully. The home now features horizontal 4″ Dutch Lap siding along the upper portion in Charcoal, paired with vertical 10″ Board and Batten siding in Ash on the lower portion. This combination adds depth and architectural interest while giving the home a bold, modern feel.
Materials Chosen for a Cohesive Finish
To complete the transformation, every exterior detail was thoughtfully coordinated for a seamless appearance:
- Steel siding in Charcoal and Ash
- Vented soffit in Ash for proper airflow and durability
- Ash fascia and window wraps for clean lines and consistency
- 5″ K-style gutters in Ash, equipped with a gutter screen to deflect debris, improve water flow, and reduce maintenance
- Matching Ash downspouts to tie everything together
Each element was selected to complement the siding while enhancing the home’s overall function and protection.
Overcoming a Unique Installation Challenge
One of the biggest challenges of this project was the existing stucco siding, which doesn’t provide a flat surface for direct steel installation. To ensure a proper and long‑lasting result, the installation crew framed out the entire exterior of the home, creating a smooth, level surface to work from.
According to the homeowner, this was no small task—but the results speak for themselves.
“The installers accepted a very challenging job and have done a tremendous job. I would recommend them on any of my future projects.”
A Complete Exterior Transformation
This Fargo home now benefits from a low‑maintenance, weather‑resistant steel exterior that not only protects the structure but dramatically improves curb appeal. The combination of modern materials, expert craftsmanship, and thoughtful design choices turned an aging stucco home into a standout property built to last for decades.
This project is a perfect example of how the right products—and the right team—can completely redefine a home’s exterior.
