Metal roofs are increasing in popularity throughout Arizona. They provide great curb appeal, can last upwards of 35 years with proper maintenance, and can withstand whatever mother nature throws at them. It is no wonder why homeowners are shifting towards metal roofs for new and replacement roofing projects. 

Did you know there are different types of metal roofs for you to choose from? 

One option for your new roof is a stone coated metal. They may appear similar to your standard asphalt shingle, but provide several other advantages. Covered in a layer of stone that is permanently adhered to the steel, stone coated metal is a great addition to your home.

5 Advantages of a Stone Coated Metal Roof

  1. Low Maintenance: While no roof is completely maintenance free, stone coated metal roofs require far less maintenance than other materials. They are designed to withstand the elements and are incredibly durable. This keeps necessary repairs at a minimum and maintenance even more minimal. While the cost of a stone coated metal roof may be more than other materials, the low maintenance cost helps make up for the initial cost. If you are looking for a new roof with minimal maintenance, stone coated is the best choice for you!
  2. Long Lifespan: Just like any other metal roof, a stone coated roof can last up to 70 years! If your current roof is made of asphalt shingles, you are likely used to replacing it every 20 years. When professionally installed and properly maintained, a steel roof is definitely a great long-term investment. They also can withstand the elements and hold up more than most traditional materials that help with their long lifespan. 
  3. Good Looks: Available in several colors, textures, and styles, stone coated steel can add to the curb appeal of your home. These roofs can also be designed to look like other popular roofing materials such as shingles and tile. You can easily get the look of whatever material you like best with stone coated steel along with great durability.
  4. Durability: Arizona sees a wide variety of weather patterns throughout the year including extreme heat, monsoons, hail, high winds, and sometimes snow. A stone coated metal roof is designed to be extremely durable against adverse weather. When compared to other materials, these roofing systems are most durable and last for a long time because of it. 
  5. Energy Efficient: Many homeowners are led to believe that a metal roof is going to be hot. In Arizona, we definitely do not want to make your house even warmer and this is definitely not true. Metal roofs actually reflect heat and can help maintain a temperature inside your home. This can lead to decreased energy consumption and lower utility bills. Balance the initial cost of installing a new stone coated metal roof with these savings.
