STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING
The beauty of tile or shake with the strength of steel. Stone-coated steel roofing combines natural stone granules with a steel core for unmatched durability, aesthetics, and weather resistance.
Expert Stone-Coated Steel Roofing Services in Lake County
Stone-coated steel roofing represents a unique fusion of technologies: a galvanized steel base provides strength and longevity, while a coating of natural stone granules creates the textured appearance of tile, shake, or shingle. The result is a roofing product that looks traditional but performs far better.
Originally developed for severe weather regions, stone-coated steel has proven itself in hurricanes, hailstorms, and extreme temperatures. The steel core provides structural integrity while the stone coating protects against UV, adds aesthetic depth, and contributes to quiet rain performance.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install stone-coated steel for homeowners who want the classic Florida tile or shake look with modern performance. These systems withstand Florida's hurricanes while weighing far less than traditional materials.
Why Stone-Coated Steel Outperforms
Weight advantage is dramatic. Stone-coated steel weighs about 1.4-2 lbs per square foot—compared to 9-12 lbs for concrete tile and 8-10 lbs for slate. This means installation on virtually any structure without reinforcement.
Hurricane performance is exceptional. Many stone-coated steel products are rated for 120-150 mph winds. The interlocking panels resist uplift while the steel core maintains integrity under impacts that would shatter tile.
Longevity rivals the best roofing materials. 50-year warranties are common, and properly installed stone-coated steel can last much longer. Unlike tile, it won't crack or break from hail, falling debris, or foot traffic.

Common Questions
Stone-coated steel looks similar to tile but weighs 1/7th as much, won't break from impacts, handles higher winds, and lasts just as long. The trade-off is slightly different appearance up close—though from typical distance, they're remarkably similar.
50+ years is typical with proper installation. Many manufacturers offer 50-year or lifetime warranties on their premium products. The steel core doesn't degrade like asphalt, and the stone coating protects it from UV.
Yes—the stone coating and interlocking design significantly dampen rain noise. When installed with proper underlayment, stone-coated steel is typically quieter than tile and comparable to asphalt shingles.
Absolutely. Many products are rated for 120-150 mph winds, exceeding Florida code requirements. The interlocking panels and concealed fasteners resist uplift, while the steel core maintains integrity under impacts.
Often yes. The Class 4 impact rating and high wind resistance may qualify for wind mitigation credits. Steel's fire resistance may provide additional benefits. Check with your insurer for specific discount availability.
