Aesthetic and functional benefits of your metal finishes.
Helping Southern Maryland homeowners visualize their projects.

Color Selections: Personalize Your Project
At Backroad Construction LLC, we believe your building should be as beautiful as it is durable. Choosing the right color for your metal roofing, siding, and trim is the final step in bringing your vision to life.
Whether you are designing a modern "black and white" barndominium, a classic red agricultural pole barn, or a neutral garage that blends seamlessly with your Southern MD home, we offer a wide palette of high-performance finishes to suit your style.
Textured vs. Smooth Finishes
We offer a variety of specialized finishes designed to withstand the elements while looking great for decades.
Textured Colors: Our textured finishes provide a unique, matte look that reduces glare and helps hide minor imperfections. These finishes offer a premium, modern feel that is increasingly popular for residential barndominiums and high-end garages.
Standard Smooth Finishes: For a classic, sleek appearance, our smooth finishes provide a vibrant pop of color with a traditional shine that reflects Southern Maryland sunlight beautifully.
The Benefits of Our Metal Coatings
Our colors aren't just for show—they are engineered for performance:
- Fade Resistance: Our coatings are designed to resist the heavy UV exposure of Maryland summers, ensuring your building stays vibrant for years.
- Energy Efficiency: Many of our lighter color options are "cool roof" rated, reflecting solar heat away from your building to help lower cooling costs.
- Rust & Corrosion Protection: Every color choice includes a multi-layered protective coating to guard against the humid, salty air common in our coastal region.
Popular Color Combinations in Southern MD
Not sure where to start? Here are a few popular trends we are seeing in St. Mary’s, Calvert, and Charles Counties:
- Modern Farmhouse: Charcoal or Black roofing paired with Brite White siding and Black trim.
- Estate Classic: Slate Gray roofing with Light Gray siding and crisp White trim.
- Traditional Rural: Burnished Slate roofing with Red siding and White or Stone trim.
Note: Due to screen resolution differences, we recommend viewing physical color swatches before making your final selection. During your free estimate, we can provide physical samples so you can see how the colors look in the natural Southern Maryland light on your property.
