Lightweight & impact-rated
Stone-Coated Steel Roofing in Fort Myers, FL
The best of both worlds — the look of Spanish tile or wood shake with the lightweight strength of steel. Ideal for Fort Myers homes where structural weight is a concern.
Why Fort Myers homeowners choose stone-coated steel
Stone-coated steel roofing combines the architectural beauty of clay tile or wood shake with the lightweight strength and impact resistance of galvanized steel. Each panel starts as a 26-gauge steel sheet, pressed into barrel-tile or shake profiles, then coated with an acrylic base coat embedded with natural stone granules and sealed with a clear overglaze. The result is a roof that weighs roughly 1.5 lbs per square foot — about one-seventh the weight of concrete tile — making it ideal for Fort Myers homes where the roof structure cannot support heavy tile. Stone-coated steel carries a Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) and a wind warranty up to 120+ MPH, and the stone granule finish resists UV fading and salt spray corrosion for decades. Because our crews have personally installed every roofing system on the market, we can tell you honestly whether stone-coated steel is the right fit for your home's pitch, style, and budget.
