Stone Coated Metal Roof Cost

What does a stone coated metal roof cost?

Roughly 9 to 16 dollars per square foot installed, which puts it alongside metal shingle and just under most standing seam. On a 2,000 square foot roof that is broadly 18,000 to 32,000 dollars before tear-off and deck work.

Stone Coated Metal Roof Cost

What is stone coated steel?

A steel panel with stone granules bonded to an acrylic coating, giving a textured surface closer to tile, shake or conventional shingle than to painted metal.

The steel underneath does the structural work and the granules do the appearance and some of the weathering. It is metal roofing that does not read as metal from the street. the full installation guide shows how it sits against the alternatives.

Where does it earn its price?

Three situations in particular.

  • Hail country, where the textured surface disguises denting that would show plainly on a flat painted pan
  • Neighborhoods and historic districts where a ribbed metal panel would look wrong
  • Roofs where the tile or shake look is wanted without the weight of the real thing

The trade is that the granule surface can shed over decades and is harder to touch up than paint. how metal roofing is priced covers the wider system.

Frequently asked questions

Is stone coated steel better in hail?

It hides denting better than a flat painted panel, which matters because most hail damage on metal is cosmetic rather than functional.

Does the stone coating wear off?

Some granule loss over decades is normal. It is gradual and rarely affects performance, but it is harder to make good than a painted finish.

Can it go over an existing roof?

Many stone coated systems install on battens over the old covering, which is one of the reasons they are chosen for re-roofs.
