Wilmington homeowners know the coast is beautiful—but it can be tough on your roof. With salty sea air, high humidity, and tropical storms rolling in from the Atlantic, traditional roofing materials often fall short. That’s why more homeowners in Wilmington and the Cape Fear region are choosing Gator Metal Roofing’s Stone Coated Metal Shingles for long-lasting protection and beautiful curb appeal.
If you want a roof that stands up to harsh weather while enhancing the look of your home, stone coated metal shingles may be the perfect solution.
What Are Stone Coated Metal Shingles?
Stone coated metal shingles combine the classic appearance of asphalt shingles or wood shake with the unmatched durability of galvanized steel. Each panel is made from corrosion-resistant metal and topped with stone granules that provide texture, style, and UV protection.
Key Features:
-
Mimics the look of traditional shingles or tile
-
Made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel
-
Stone coating resists fading, cracking, and algae growth
-
Engineered to last 50+ years with little maintenance
Unlike standard asphalt shingles that break down in 10 to 20 years, Gator’s Stone Coated Metal Shingles are built to handle Wilmington’s intense climate—for decades.
Designed for Coastal Carolina Weather
Wilmington’s location near the coast means homes face some of the most challenging roofing conditions in the state. From heavy rainfall and hurricane-force winds to hot, humid summers and salt exposure, your roof needs to be built for resilience.
Stone Coated Metal Shingles are:
-
Rated for winds up to 140 mph
-
Resistant to salt air corrosion
-
Class A fire rated
-
Hail and impact resistant
-
Mold and algae resistant
This makes them ideal for both historic downtown homes and newer builds in communities like Ogden, Monkey Junction, or Leland.
Energy Efficiency That Pays Off
Wilmington summers are hot and humid, which means your air conditioner works overtime. One of the biggest advantages of Gator’s Stone Coated Metal Shingles is their solar reflectivity—they reduce heat absorption and help keep your home cooler.
Homeowners report:
-
Up to 40% lower energy bills
-
Cooler attic spaces
-
Improved indoor comfort during summer months
-
Reduced HVAC wear and tear
The roof does more than protect—it helps your entire home perform better.
