Why Steel Matters
Not sure if a Stone Coated Steel Roof is right for your home? Take
a short course on the many benefits of a Gerard Stone Coated Roofing System.
An Investment Above the Rest
The initial cost of installing a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof may
be more than with other roofing materials. However, the money a homeowner
can save is significant, because a Gerard roof will be the last roof you
ever buy.
A Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof adds to your home’s beauty and to its
resale value. Finally, insurance companies in many states will lower your
homeowner’s insurance premiums by as much as 35% due to the proven
protection of a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof.
Warranty Information
“Good for a Lifetime” vs. “Sooner or Later”
The average life of a non-steel roof is approximately 17 years. For
example, asphalt, or “composition” shingles can require re-roofing every 10
to 20 years or sooner! Compare that with a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof
that includes a warranty that is good for the lifetime of the owner
(transferable).

Give Your Home A Beauty Makeover
Whatever the style, color or finish of your current roof, there is
most likely a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof that will match the appearance
of your home. Whether you want the look of an asphalt shingle, clay tile,
cedar shake or slate, you can select a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof that
will enhance the beauty of your home.
Strength for the Long Run
Life is hard. Mother Nature is harder, especially on non-steel
roofing materials which begin to deteriorate immediately after they are
installed from exposure to damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun, expansion
and contraction as a result of temperature changes and the effect of
hailstones, heavy snow pack, ice and wind. A Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof,
however, can take extreme weather conditions and still look and protect like
new for a lifetime.
Beautifully Efficient
There’s more to the beautiful colors and designs of a Gerard Stone
Coated Steel Roof than meets the eye. For example, the lighter-colored roofs
are designed to effectively reflect the sun’s heat and reduce the need to
cool your home during the hot summer months. Our “dead air” buffer zone
between your new Gerard roof and old roof also insulates against heat loss
in winter months. What a beautiful way to lower your energy bills.
Putting Our Warranty Where Our Mouth Is
You don’t need to take anyone’s word for how long a Gerard Stone
Coated Steel Roof will last. Our roofs come with impressive warranties
including a 120 m.p.h. Wind Warranty, a 2.5 inch Hailstone Warranty and a
Non-Prorated Warranty for the Lifetime of its Owner (transferable).

Metal Myths Unmasked
Is Lightning Attracted to a Metal Roof?
There is absolutely no increase in the likelihood of your home
being struck by lightning if you have a metal roof. In fact, if lightning
does strike your Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof, the energy safely
dissipates throughout the entire roof surface, and can exit into the ground.
Also, because metal roofing is NOT combustible or flammable, it is an even
smarter choice when severe weather is a possibility.
Is a Stone Coated Steel Roof a Noisy Roof?
Absolutely not! Now hear this: a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof is
often much quieter than even an asphalt shingle roof. Because of our unique
installation method that creates a sound and temperature “buffer zone” of
dead air space, along with our beautifully functional stone coated surface,
even a torrential rain striking the roof panels is no louder than it would
be on a heavy wood shake roof.
Is Rust a Problem with a Stone Coated Steel Roof?
No! In fact, Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof panels are made from
high quality 26-gauge, pre-primed, galvanized steel that is coated with an
acrylic basecoat. Ceramic earth-stone granules are then embedded over this
basecoat. Finally, a clear acrylic over-glaze is applied and baked on. This
provides your home with a long-lasting, durable and fade-resistant
protection for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Is Denting a Problem?
Again, no! In fact, Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roofs can and do
stand up to hailstones, snow loads and extreme wind conditions without any
structural or cosmetic damage. That’s one reason our weatherproof warranties
include a 120 m.p.h. Wind Warranty (equal to an F2 tornado!) and 2.5 inch
Hailstone Warranty.
Standing Up for Durability
If you’ve heard anyone say that a metal roof shouldn’t be walked
on, they’re obviously not talking about a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof.
Our unique interlocking panel design, rugged 26-gauge galvanized steel
construction and proven installation methods provide a strong roof system
that can be walked on under normal conditions.
Estimating Your Enjoyment
When you compare the features and benefits of a Gerard Stone Coated
Steel Roof against all others, you’ll see there really is no comparison. So
how do you determine what your investment amount will be? First, contact an
approved Gerard Roof installation contractor. This experienced professional
will calculate the cost of your new Gerard Roof depending on the style of
the Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roofing System you choose, your roof’s shape
and “pitch” or degree of slope and whether or not you would like your
existing roof left on or torn off. To find a Gerard-approved roofing
contractor in your area, simply click on the link below. Remember a Gerard
Stone Coated Steel Roof comes with a lifetime warranty.
