Unlike traditional wood board and batten, metal siding does not require routine staining or painting and will not rot. For homeowners looking for distinctive architecture without the maintenance associated with natural wood, Board and Batten Metal Siding offers an attractive long-term solution.
Proper installation is essential to the appearance and long-term performance of any metal siding system. Olsen Roofing provides professional metal siding installation with careful attention to panel alignment, fastening, trim, corners, windows, doors, transitions, and other exterior details.

Drexel Metals Board & Batten is available in 12-inch and 16-inch nominal widths with 2-inch battens and a ¾-inch batten depth.

As your metal siding contractor, Olsen Roofing focuses on precise installation, architectural character, and lasting exterior protection.
One of the biggest advantages of Board and Batten Metal Siding is its combination of durability, distinctive style, and reduced maintenance. Unlike traditional wood board and batten, metal siding does not require routine painting, staining, or sealing and is not susceptible to rot or damage from termites and other wood-destroying insects. It is also noncombustible, providing an additional advantage compared with combustible siding materials such as wood.
Factory-applied finishes are engineered for long-term exterior exposure, with manufacturer warranty coverage varying by the specific Drexel Metals product and finish selected. For homeowners throughout New Hampshire and Vermont looking for an attractive siding system designed to withstand demanding weather while requiring less ongoing maintenance, Board and Batten Metal Siding is a strong option to consider.
Northern New England’s snow, ice, wind, rain, summer heat, freezing temperatures, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles can be demanding on exterior building materials. Board and Batten Metal Siding provides a durable, low-maintenance alternative that avoids many of the rot concerns associated with natural wood, making it an attractive choice for homes, cabins, vacation properties, and second homes throughout New Hampshire and Vermont.
Board and batten is also remarkably versatile, combining traditional New England character with modern design possibilities. It can complement modern farmhouses with contrasting trim, stone, dark windows, and metal roofing or add classic architectural character to traditional homes. Cabins and mountain homes can also benefit from the distinctive appearance and long-lasting durability of vertical metal siding.
Board and Batten Metal Siding does not have to cover the entire home. It can be used strategically on front-facing gables, dormers, entryways, porches, garages, additions, upper stories, and other architectural features to create contrast and visual interest. Vertical metal siding can also be paired with horizontal vinyl siding, natural cedar, or stone to introduce different textures, materials, and design elements.
Board and Batten siding pairs especially well with metal roofing, creating a cohesive exterior with clean architectural lines. Because Olsen Roofing installs both roofing and siding, our team can help coordinate roofing and siding profiles, colors, trim, and other exterior details to create a finished design that complements your home.
Olsen Roofing installs Drexel Metals Board & Batten siding, a premium metal wall system designed for residential and commercial applications.

Our process begins with a consultation to inspect your home, discuss your goals, and determine whether you’re considering a complete metal exterior, architectural accents, a mixed-material design, or siding coordinated with new roofing. We’ll help you review available Board & Batten panel options, colors, finishes, and design possibilities while considering how the siding will complement your roof, windows, doors, trim, and other exterior features.
Once the design is finalized, materials are ordered and installation is scheduled. Our experienced crew prepares the exterior and professionally installs the Drexel Metals siding with careful attention to alignment, fastening, trim, transitions, and other details that contribute to its clean finished appearance. After installation, Olsen Roofing will inspect the completed exterior and review the finished project with you.
