From Tile Troubles to Storm-Ready: A Florida Home’s Upgrade to Stone Coated Steel

You ever look up at your roof and just know it’s more of a problem than protection? That’s exactly what happened to one of our homeowners in sunny Southeast Florida. They’d had it with their traditional concrete tile roof. Sure, it looked great—matched the house, added charm—but behind the scenes? It was a whole other story.

Lead issues. Constant patching. Loose tiles. Every storm season brought stress instead of peace of mind. The upkeep was draining their wallet and their patience.

Searching for a Smarter Solution

They didn’t want just any roof—they wanted something smarter. Something that could take a beating from Florida’s wild hurricane season and still stand tall. But—and this was key—they weren’t ready to say goodbye to the Mediterranean-style look that gave their home its character.

That’s where we came in.

Enter Rhino Roofs: Bringing Looks and Strength Together

When they called Rhino Roofs, we listened. We knew exactly what they needed: stone coated steel roofing. It’s the perfect blend of beauty and brawn. You get the elegance of tile without all the heavy lifting (literally).

And let’s be honest—this isn’t just a new roof. It’s a whole new mindset. No more constant repairs, no more anxiety every time the weather shifts. Just solid, storm-ready protection with serious curb appeal.

What’s So Special About Stone Coated Steel?

Glad you asked. This stuff’s the real deal:

• Wind-resistant up to 120+ mph. That’s not a typo. That’s hurricane-grade strength.
• Lighter than concrete tile. Less stress on the structure, more durability.
• Corrosion and rust-resistant. Say goodbye to those pesky lead worries.
• Mimics the look of classic tile or shake. So you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety.

We worked with the client to choose a finish that matched their existing aesthetic—warm tones, textured detail, the whole nine yards. When we were done? You couldn’t tell the roof wasn’t tile… until a storm came through and the roof didn’t budge.

Built #RhinoTough, Every Step of the Way

Because we manufacture and install our own metal roofing, we controlled every part of the process—from the first panel to the final fastener. That’s the Rhino way. No middlemen, no shortcuts, just a roof built Rhino Tough.

The install? Smooth. Our crew showed up on time, kept the site clean, and treated the home like it was their own. The neighbors even stopped by to compliment the new look. And the homeowners? Let’s just say they’re sleeping a lot easier now—rain or shine.

Ready for What’s Next—Storms and All

Now, this home is more than beautiful. It’s storm-season ready. No loose tiles, no rattling under high winds. Just rock-solid, wind-resistant steel hidden beneath a finish that looks like a million bucks.

The homeowners told us they feel like they upgraded from a headache to a fortress—and honestly? That’s the kind of stuff we live for.
