Why Stone Coat?

Why Stone Coat Your Roof Flashings?

Top Reasons To Stone Coat: there are nine of them, and none of them is complicated.

Top Reasons To Stone Coat: there are nine of them, and none of them is complicated. Some matter most to the homeowner looking up from the driveway, some matter most to the roofer on the ladder, and most of them matter to both. The flashings and vents are the smallest parts of a roof. They should not be the parts that leak, rust, fade or need paint.

Maintenance Free

All products never require cleaning or painting. You can be assured of never having to clean, prep, or paint your pipes, vents, or other flashings, and there is no UV deterioration or rust ever again! Compare that with a spray painted pipe, which looks fine the day the roofer drives away and is prone to deteriorate from there.

Durable & Strong

Due to proprietary formulation of products, they will withstand hail, freeze, thaw and extreme heat. That covers the weather a roof actually lives through, season after season, with the finish staying put on the metal.

25 Year Warranty

Products are backed by a limited 25 year product warranty. That is a long run for the smallest pieces on a roof, and one less thing for the homeowner to think about. Ask us about the warranty for the products going on your roof.

Aesthetic Appeal

Products make all those unsightly vents and flashings completely blend in and additionally complement any roof or color. California Stone Coating can create Defender Series™ products in custom colors and flashings, such as crickets and saddles. With custom color blending available, the metal takes on the roof color instead of the roof having to live with the metal.

Fast, Easy & Universal Installation

Products are universal for all standard types of installations, making them extremely fast and easy to install, with no special tools or equipment required. Your roofer puts them on with the usual tools and moves on, with no painting step waiting at the end.

Time & Money Saving

Because products are so easy to install, you will save time from spray painting, which means you will spend less money finishing your jobs. No masking, no overspray drifting onto new shingles, no trip back to touch up a pipe that faded.

No Leaks

Flashings are sealed water tight at the seam. Various manufacturers' flashings leak at the seam of the cone, and spray paint cannot seal it. We seal that seam with an adhesive that bonds with the metal, so the weak spot on a typical pipe flashing is dealt with before the piece ever reaches the roof.

Affordable & Cost Effective

Products are reasonably priced so that you can easily include them on every roof, giving the customer that final look of distinction. Stone coating is not only for the custom home on the hill. It belongs on the everyday reroof just as much.

Marketing Edge

Products on all of your roofs will give you a competitive edge over the rest of the competition while making it your personal signature of quality and a roof finished right. In turn, you gain referrals and build your business just by installing stone coated products on the roof. Roofers will find colors, the flashing list and ordering details on our contractors page.

Before & After Stone Coating

In the before shots you will see bare galvanized pipe and primed metal waiting on a spray can. In the after shots you will see stone coated vents and pipes that match the roof around them.
