Why Homeowners in Columbus Are Choosing Stone-Coated Steel Roofing

At The Roof Champion of Columbus, we know that replacing your roof isn’t just a maintenance task—it’s an investment in your home’s value, protection, and curb appeal. That’s why more homeowners across Columbus, Powell, Dublin, and surrounding areas are asking us about stone-coated steel roofing.

What Is Stone-Coated Steel Roofing?

Stone-coated steel roofing combines a high-strength steel core with a layer of stone granules fused to the surface. You get the unmatched durability of metal roofing with the elegant look of traditional materials like asphalt shingles, wood shake, or tile.

Key Benefits:

• Extreme Durability:
  Built to withstand harsh Ohio weather—hail, high winds, heavy snow, and ice dams. These roofs easily last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance.

• Attractive Appearance:
  Available in a variety of styles and colors. You can enjoy the look of high-end materials like cedar shake or clay tile—without their drawbacks.

• Energy Efficient:
  Stone-coated steel reflects more sunlight and releases heat more efficiently, reducing cooling costs in the summer.

• Fire and Hail Resistant:
  Rated Class A for fire resistance and Class 4 for impact resistance—the highest available. Insurance companies often provide discounts for homes with this level of protection.

• Lightweight:
  Despite its strength, stone-coated steel is lightweight, putting less stress on your home’s structure.

Real Results from Right Here in Columbus

We recently completed a project for a homeowner in Hilliard who was fed up with constant roof repairs after every hailstorm. After installing a stone-coated steel roof, their energy bills dropped noticeably, and their home’s value shot up.

Their feedback?
"It looks incredible and we haven’t had to think about the roof since it was installed. That’s real peace of mind."

Is Stone-Coated Steel Worth the Investment?

If you plan to stay in your home for the next 10+ years or want to increase your resale value, the answer is yes. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, you’ll avoid repeated repairs and replacements. And with rising energy costs, the long-term savings on your utility bills make a real difference.

FAQs

How much does stone-coated steel roofing cost?
It typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but less than natural slate or clay tile. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $8 to $12 per square foot installed.

Does it make my home noisy during rain or hail?
No. With proper underlayment and attic insulation, most homeowners notice no additional noise compared to other roofing types.

Will it rust over time?
Not at all. The steel core is coated with a corrosion-resistant barrier, and the stone coating adds an additional layer of protection.
