Metal Siding in Hermann, MO
WHAT WE DO
Coated steel siding does not rot, split, or feed termites the way wood siding can, and it will not warp, crack, or peel as the seasons change. Arnsmeyer Contracting provides metal siding installation and replacement in Hermann, MO, and the surrounding counties for barns, shops, garages, and homes. We work with corrugated panels, standing-seam panels, and lap-style metal siding, removing damaged or outdated material, checking for moisture damage, installing moisture barriers, fastening new panels, and sealing trim around every opening. Our licensed, insured crew finishes most jobs within a few days, and partial replacements are often wrapped up in a single day.
WHERE WE INSTALL
Barn Walls, Shop Exteriors, and Homes That Need a Tougher Skin
Walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, blowing snow, and summer sun, especially on buildings that stand in open fields. Around Hermann, we install metal siding on barns with weathered boards, pole sheds with dented panels, workshops, garages, and homes ready for a lower-maintenance exterior. Each wall is checked for soundness and flatness before new panels go up, since siding performs only as well as the structure behind it. Openings, corners, and the base get extra care, because that is where water tries hardest to get inside.
Metal Siding Services We Provide
Each siding service focuses on creating a weathertight, long-lasting exterior, with panel styles and details chosen to match your building's purpose and the look you want for your property.
01
New Metal Siding Installation
New buildings get metal siding fastened over moisture barriers, with trim fitted around doors, windows, and corners. Laying out panels carefully from the start keeps seams aligned, overlaps consistent, and the finished walls looking clean and straight for years.
02
Metal Siding Replacement
Rusted, dented, or outdated siding comes off, and the wall behind it is inspected for moisture damage. New panels then go up over fresh barriers, giving an aging barn, shop, or home a stronger, better-looking exterior shell that lasts.
03
Corrugated Metal Siding
Corrugated panels have a classic wavy profile that suits barns, sheds, and rustic buildings. They are strong for their weight, install efficiently over large wall areas, and give agricultural buildings and outbuildings a durable, traditional appearance that never goes out of style.
04
Lap-Style Metal Siding
Lap-style metal siding mimics the horizontal lines of traditional wood boards while offering the durability of steel. It works especially well on homes and garages where owners want a familiar look without the painting, rot, or constant upkeep of wood.
05
Trim and Opening Details
Trim around doors, windows, corners, and the base closes the gaps where panels end. Fitting and sealing these pieces carefully keeps rain, snow, and pests out, while giving the whole building crisp, finished edges that look neat and intentional.
06
Moisture Barrier Installation
A moisture barrier behind the panels adds a second line of defense against water that finds its way past seams or fasteners. It helps protect framing and sheathing from rot, extending the life of the wall behind the siding.

Where Metal Siding Makes the Biggest Difference
Metal siding fits many buildings, but some benefit more than others. These are the situations where owners usually notice the biggest improvement in protection, appearance, and upkeep after new panels go up.
01
Barns Exposed to Weather
Barns standing in open fields take wind and driving rain from every direction. Metal panels shed water quickly, hold tight through strong gusts, and protect the equipment, feed, and animals sheltered inside through every season of the year.
02
Workshops and Garages
Shops and garages see bumps from tools, bikes, and vehicles along their walls. Steel siding holds up to everyday wear, cleans off easily, and keeps a busy working building looking tidy and professional without frequent painting or patching.
03
Homes Ready for Less Upkeep
Homeowners tired of scraping, painting, and replacing rotted boards often turn to metal siding. Lap-style and vertical profiles offer attractive options, and the factory finish needs little more than occasional washing to keep it looking fresh for years.
04
Buildings with Rot or Pest Damage
Wood siding that has softened, split, or attracted insects keeps getting worse. Replacing it with steel removes the material pests and moisture feed on, while the framing inspection beneath catches hidden damage before it spreads further into the structure.
05
Wind-Exposed Structures
Hilltop buildings and structures without nearby tree cover catch strong gusts regularly. Properly fastened metal panels stay put in conditions that tear loose boards and vinyl, reducing storm repairs and keeping the building sealed tight against rain and snow.
06
Low-Maintenance Properties
Owners managing several outbuildings rarely have time to paint and patch them all. Metal siding keeps exteriors protected for many years with minimal attention, freeing up weekends and budget for the other property work that actually matters most to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of metal siding are available?
Common options include corrugated panels, standing-seam panels, and lap-style metal siding. Corrugated suits barns and outbuildings, standing seam offers a clean vertical look, and lap-style metal siding mimics traditional horizontal boards, which suits homes and garages especially well.
Can metal siding run vertically or horizontally?
Both orientations are possible. Corrugated and ribbed panels usually run vertically so water drains down the grooves, while lap-style metal siding runs horizontally to mimic traditional boards. The building's style and framing guide which layout works best for your walls.
How does metal siding perform in high winds?
Properly fastened metal siding resists wind damage better than vinyl or wood because its panels are strong and securely attached to the framing. Correct fastener spacing and well-fitted trim keep panel edges from catching gusts and peeling away over time.
When should barn siding be replaced?
Replace barn siding when panels are rusted through, loose, badly dented, or letting water and animals inside. Waiting too long lets moisture reach the wood framing behind, turning a straightforward siding project into a much more expensive structural repair.
Does metal siding dent easily?
Metal siding can dent from hard impacts, but thicker panels resist damage far better than thin ones. Choosing an appropriate gauge for buildings that see equipment traffic or hail exposure helps keep walls looking straight and clean for years.
How does trim keep water out of metal siding?
Trim covers the edges where panels meet doors, windows, corners, and the base. Properly overlapped and sealed trim directs water outward and away, instead of letting it slip behind the panels where it can quietly damage framing and sheathing.
Can Arnsmeyer Contracting replace siding on just one wall?
Yes. Arnsmeyer Contracting handles partial siding replacements on barns and homes around Hermann, MO, and many are finished in a single day. Matching the existing panel profile keeps the repaired wall consistent with the rest of the building.
Will metal siding rust over time?
Coated steel siding resists rust for many years, but scratches, cut edges, and failed fasteners can expose bare metal. Arnsmeyer Contracting seals fasteners and fits trim carefully on projects in Hermann, MO, to limit those weak points from the start.
