Frequently Asked Questions
This is a common misconception. The granular stone coating on the steel panels acts as a natural sound dampener. As a result, a stone-coated metal roof is often quieter during a downpour than many other roofing types, including asphalt shingles.
The initial investment for a stone-coated metal roof is often comparable to or slightly higher than high-end ceramic tiles. However, its longer lifespan, minimal maintenance, and superior durability against extreme weather can make it a more cost-effective choice over the long term.

This can save significant time and money on the cost of tear-off and disposal. We recommend a professional inspection to confirm if this is suitable for your specific roof.
