| Comparison | |
| Kodiak Steel Homes® | Steel Building Houses |
| Appraise like a conventional wood frame home because they look and feel like a normal home. | Appraise like a shop building because of their commercial appearance and may go down in value every year. |
| Qualify for conventional home mortgage. | Do not qualify for conventional home mortgage at most banks. |
| 140 MPH four hour wind load 160 MPH three second gust. | Usually a 90 MPH wind load. |
| Engineered for very little deflection even in 140 MPH wind, so that the interior drywall is not ruined. | Engineered to flex quite a bit in 90 MPH wind so as to lower building cost. |
| Regular drywall is attached to bolted ceiling joists, so it looks like a normal ceiling and gives you a real attic. | Usually use a drop ceiling of some kind that looks like an office ceiling and can’t be used as an attic. |
| 6” I-Beam column with a 6” metal stud on most models so that you have a smooth flush wall surface inside. | Large columns that protrude into the interior rooms. Stud framing has to be added to the inside of the wall girts making the walls seem odd and thick. |
| Kodiak Steel Homes® colored roofs come standard with a Kynar 500 paint system and will look great for decades. | Siliconized polyester paint that will fade, especially on the roof, and may look bad in less than five years . |
| 5:12 pitch or greater on most models. | Usually a 1:12 or 2:12 roof pitch—more prone to leaks. |
| Kodiak steel homes are available with a horizontal lap siding that has a wood grain texture embossed into the steel. This siding looks like regular wood board siding on a home. | Metal buildings converted into houses usually have vertical steel sheeting that is standard for steel buildings. |
