Stone-Coated Steel Roofing

Stone-coated steel is a steel roof covered in a layer of stone granules, so it looks like shingles, shake or tile while giving you the strength of metal. We install stone-coated steel roofs across Dallas-Fort Worth from our Haslet headquarters and across the Birmingham area from our Irondale office, starting with a free inspection.

What Stone-Coated Steel Is

Stone-coated steel panels start as Galvalume steel, which is steel with a coating that resists rust. The panels are pressed into the shape of shingles, shakes or tiles and then covered in stone granules held on with an acrylic coating. The stone gives the roof its color and texture and hides the fact that it’s metal.

What sets it apart is how well it handles weather. Many stone-coated steel products carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest hail rating there is, and wind warranties of 120 mph are common. With the right underlayment it earns a Class A fire rating. It’s also light, about 1.25 to 1.6 pounds per square foot, so it can give you a tile look on a house that couldn’t carry real tile. Many are expected to last 50 years or more.

How We Install Stone-Coated Steel

We remove the old roof, repair the decking and lay new underlayment, then install the panels from the bottom up. Depending on the product and the look you want, the panels are fastened to the deck or to wood strips called battens, and each one interlocks with the panels around it. Ridges, hips and edges get matching stone-coated trim, so the finished roof looks like one material from every side.

frequently asked questions

It’s still steel, but the stone coating makes it look like a shingle, shake or tile roof instead of bare metal. The texture also hides small dents and softens the look of the roof from the street.

It’s one of the most hail-resistant roofs you can buy. Many products carry a Class 4 rating, which means a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet didn’t crack or break the panel. Very large hail can still leave marks, so keep your manufacturer warranty and photos of the finished roof on file.

Some insurance companies lower premiums for Class 4 impact-rated roofs. The discount isn’t automatic, so call your agent, ask what documents they need and send them proof of the product after installation.

Many are expected to last 50 years or more, and manufacturers back them with long warranties, often 50 years or lifetime coverage. That’s two or more asphalt roofs’ worth of life.

It’s one of the lightest roofs you can put on a house. At roughly 1.25 to 1.6 pounds per square foot, it’s lighter than asphalt shingles and much lighter than clay or concrete tile, so most homes can take it without reinforcement.

Installed over a solid deck and underlayment, it isn’t loud. The noisy metal roofs people remember are usually on barns or carports with no deck under the panels.
