What Is Stone-Coated Steel Roofing?
Stone-coated steel roofing is a metal roof made of steel panels with a stone-granule surface, shaped so the roof looks like shingles or shakes from the street instead of bare metal.
It suits a Hudson homeowner who wants a steel roof without a metal look, on a street where the neighbors' roofs are shingles. In the Downtown Overlay District, a change of exterior color or materials goes to the city's Plan Commission with samples of the finish materials.
Metal roofs are expected to last 40 to 80 years, against about 30 years for architectural shingles.

Stone-Coated Steel or Bare Metal Panels for Your Hudson Roof?
Choose stone-coated steel if you want your Hudson roof to look like shingles or shakes, and bare panels such as corrugated metal roofing or aluminum roofing if a plain metal look suits the building.
Bare Metal Panels
- Plain steel or aluminum finish
- Screws through the face on corrugated panels
- Suits garages, sheds and farm buildings
Stone-Coated Steel
- Stone-granule surface
- Shaped like shingles or shakes
- Suits a house that should keep a traditional look
On a barn or machine shed, plain exposed-fastener steel is the typical panel, and we put those on as part of our barn and pole building roof work. Stone-coated steel makes sense on an outbuilding that sits next to the house and should match it.

How We Put Stone-Coated Steel on a Hudson Home
We put stone-coated steel on a Hudson home by checking the old roof and deck first, then installing and flashing the panels to the panel maker's instructions.

Inspect and Measure
We count the layers on the roof, check the deck and measure every slope.
- 2
Remove What Has to Come Off
Two or more layers, or a soaked or worn-out roof, come off before the steel goes on.

Install the Panels
The panels go on to the panel maker's instructions, with underlayment and edge trim first.

Flash and Finish
We flash every chimney, valley and roof opening, finish the ridge and clean up the site.

Which Wisconsin Rules Apply to Stone-Coated Steel in Hudson?
Stone-coated steel in Hudson must go on to the manufacturer's instructions or a recognized national standard, with flashing at every chimney, valley and roof opening, and only over an old roof that has a single sound, dry layer.
Wisconsin's dwelling code bars a new roof covering over two or more layers, over a water-soaked or deteriorated roof, and over wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile. A cedar shake roof, for example, comes off before stone-coated steel shakes go on.
In the City of Hudson, new roofing with no structural changes or repairs needs no building permit. Outside the city, we confirm the permit rules with your local building inspector before work starts.
Who Can Install Stone-Coated Steel on a Hudson Home?
A contractor holding Wisconsin's Dwelling Contractor certification, with a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier, can install Stone-Coated Steel on a Hudson Home, because that is the credential the state requires of anyone who pulls a building permit for work on a one- or two-family home, and Wisconsin has no roofing-specific license. Hudson Roofing Pros does this work, and when you book with us or anyone else, ask for proof of the credential and of insurance.
Ask for proof of that credential and of insurance when you book, and check it in the state's credential lookup. Garrett Olson personally oversees every project we do.
Stone-Coated Steel Roofing FAQs
What Does Stone-Coated Steel Look Like?
Stone-coated steel looks like shingles or shakes, because the steel panels are shaped that way and covered in stone granules. From the street it does not read as a metal roof.
How Much Does Stone-Coated Steel Cost Per Square?
Stone-coated steel costs $1,000 to $1,650 per square installed, a national range and not a quote. A square is 100 square feet of roof.
Can Stone-Coated Steel Go Over Cedar Shakes?
No. Wisconsin's dwelling code bars a new roof covering over wood shake, so the shakes come off first.
Can Stone-Coated Steel Go on a Garage or Barn?
Yes, it can go on a garage or outbuilding that should match the house. Most barns and pole buildings get plain exposed-fastener steel instead.
