STONE-COATED
STEEL ROOFING.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
The look of tile or shingle. The strength of steel. Family-owned, locally licensed.
Stone-coated steel gives you the aesthetic of traditional roofing with the hurricane performance of metal — at a weight your home's structure can handle without modification. It's one of the strongest roofing choices available for Central Florida homes, and one of the most underutilized.

HOW IT STACKS UP
STONE-COATED STEEL VS. THE ALTERNATIVES
Most homeowners are choosing between shingles, tile, and metal. Stone-coated steel occupies a distinct position — better storm performance than shingles, lighter than tile, and more aesthetically traditional than standing seam metal.

WHY STONE-COATED STEEL
BUILT FOR FLORIDA. DESIGNED TO LOOK GOOD DOING IT.
Stone-coated steel solves the trade-off most homeowners face — you shouldn't have to choose between a roof that performs and one that looks the way you want.
150mph
HURRICANE-FORCE WIND RATING
Rated to withstand some of the strongest wind speeds recorded in Florida hurricanes — a critical spec for Central Florida homeowners.
50+
YEAR LIFESPAN
A stone-coated steel roof installed today should outlast two or three asphalt replacements — making the higher upfront cost a long-term savings.
Class 4
HAIL IMPACT RATING
The highest impact resistance rating available. Tile can crack; steel doesn't. This rating can also qualify you for insurance premium discounts — ask your carrier.
Light
NO STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT NEEDED
Unlike concrete tile, stone-coated steel is light enough to install on most Florida homes without a structural engineer assessment — saving time and cost.
Quiet
NOISE-DAMPENING STONE LAYER
Unlike bare metal roofing, the stone chip coating and solid installation method make stone-coated steel significantly quieter in heavy Florida rain.
HOA
APPROVED IN MOST COMMUNITIES
Available in profiles that mimic tile, shingle, and shake — making it compliant in most HOA communities that restrict metal roofing aesthetics.
AVAILABLE PROFILES
LOOKS LIKE TRADITIONAL ROOFING. PERFORMS LIKE STEEL.
Stone-coated steel is available in profiles that replicate the look of the most popular roofing styles — so you get steel strength without sacrificing the aesthetic your neighborhood expects.
MOST POPULAR IN FL
TILE PROFILE
Replicates the classic barrel or flat tile look common across Central Florida's Mediterranean-style communities. Steel strength with a traditional appearance — and no structural assessment required.
HOA FRIENDLY
SHINGLE PROFILE
Designed to mimic the look of dimensional asphalt shingles. Works in any neighborhood and satisfies most HOA requirements that call for a traditional shingle aesthetic.
DISTINCTIVE LOOK
SHAKE PROFILE
Replicates the look of wood shake roofing without the maintenance, rot risk, or fire vulnerability. All the warmth of the aesthetic, none of the drawbacks — especially relevant in Florida's humidity.

KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE
IS YOUR CURRENT ROOF DUE FOR AN UPGRADE?
Stone-coated steel is often chosen as a permanent replacement for aging shingle or tile roofs. If you're seeing any of these, it may be worth having the conversation.
SHINGLES OVER 10 YEARS OLD
If your shingle roof is aging out and you're facing another replacement cycle, stone-coated steel is worth comparing on total cost of ownership.
REPEATED STORM DAMAGE
If you've filed multiple claims for wind or hail damage, upgrading to a Class 4 impact-rated steel roof can end the cycle — and may reduce your insurance premiums.
CRACKED TILE ON AN AGING ROOF
Widespread tile cracking on an older roof often signals underlayment failure. Stone-coated steel is a strong alternative that eliminates the cracking problem permanently.
PLANNING A LONG-TERM STAY
If you're planning to stay in your home for 15+ years, a 50-year steel roof often makes more financial sense than another shingle replacement.
WANT TILE LOOK WITHOUT THE WEIGHT
Stone-coated steel tile profile gives you the Mediterranean aesthetic without requiring a structural assessment — a significant advantage on many Florida homes.
LOOKING FOR INSURANCE PREMIUM SAVINGS
Class 4 hail ratings and high wind certifications can qualify you for homeowner's insurance discounts. Ask your carrier what a steel roof upgrade could save you annually.

"My compliments to Ron, Sydney and the entire RBS team. In December 2025 I had my roof replaced and selected RBS to do the work. The quality of their product and service both get an A+. The RBS team was responsive and proactive to my questions and the completion of the roof. If you are considering a roof replacement or repairs, I recommend you contact the team. Ron and Sydney are like family and will be there to assist you."

"RBS installed our roof replacement and made the repairs we needed after the last hurricane. In this day and age, it is so difficult to find a business that truly cares about its customers and works with them to make the repairs and complete the construction work. The work is skillfully completed in accordance with the agreement. It is great when you find a company you can trust to take pride in its work and truly care about its customers."

“Wow! I would like to Thank Ron and his crew from turning my sorry looking roof to the most sexiest roof in my community. The crew was professional and kept the areas clean after work. The work was done in a timely manner with no hiccups. The staff in the office are proficient. They keep you informed of every detail. I highly recommend this family owned business. Thank you Ron and the entire RBS Family. You guys are Rockstars!”

COMMON QUESTIONS
STONE-COATED STEEL FAQS
What Central Florida homeowners ask us most before deciding on stone-coated steel.
+
What exactly is stone-coated steel roofing?
Stone-coated steel is a steel panel coated with an acrylic base layer and natural stone chips, then sealed with a clear acrylic overglaze. The result is a metal roof panel that looks like tile, shingle, or shake — depending on the profile — while maintaining the structural strength, impact resistance, and wind rating of steel. It's been used in hurricane-prone regions for decades and is well-proven in Florida's climate.
+
Is stone-coated steel noisy when it rains?
No — this is one of the most common concerns and one of the least warranted. Unlike bare metal roofing, stone-coated steel has a textured stone surface and a solid installation method (panels are attached to battens over the deck) that significantly dampens rain noise. Most homeowners report it sounds the same as or quieter than their previous shingle roof.
+
Will my HOA approve stone-coated steel?
In most cases, yes. Stone-coated steel is available in tile, shingle, and shake profiles that are visually indistinguishable from traditional roofing materials. HOAs that restrict "metal roofing" typically mean bare standing seam metal — not stone-coated steel, which replicates traditional profiles. We're familiar with requirements across Central Florida communities and can help you identify a compliant product before you commit.
+
How does stone-coated steel compare to regular metal roofing?
Both are steel, but the profiles and application are different. Standing seam metal has a sleek, modern look with exposed raised seams. Stone-coated steel uses individual panels shaped to mimic tile, shingle, or shake — making it better suited for traditional neighborhoods and HOA communities. Stone-coated steel also tends to be quieter and carries a Class 4 hail impact rating, which standing seam doesn't always match.
+
Can stone-coated steel save me money on home insurance?
Potentially yes. The Class 4 hail impact rating and high wind certification on stone-coated steel can qualify you for discounts with many Florida insurers. The specific savings depend on your carrier and policy. We provide all the documentation your insurance company needs — wind mitigation reports, product certifications, and permit records — to support a rate review after installation. It's worth calling your carrier before you decide.
+
How long does stone-coated steel last in Florida?
Most stone-coated steel products carry 50-year warranties and are expected to last the lifetime of the home with minimal maintenance. Florida's UV intensity, heat, and hurricane exposure are no concern for steel — it doesn't crack, warp, or absorb moisture. The stone coating is UV-stable, so color doesn't fade the way asphalt does in our climate. It's genuinely a one-and-done roofing decision for most homeowners.
