The traditional shingle, shake, or tile profile your HOA expects — built on Class 4 hail-rated steel instead of asphalt.
From the curb, stone-coated steel reads as traditional shingle, shake, or tile. Under the surface, it's a different roof entirely.
We install both. Here's how we actually think about which one fits a given home — not a sales pitch for either.
Your HOA's design guidelines call for a traditional shingle, shake, or tile profile, or you want the strongest available HOA approval odds. Still Class 4 hail-rated steel underneath.
You want the longest possible lifespan (50–70 years) and a clean, modern architectural line, and your HOA doesn't require a traditional shingle profile. See the full standing seam guide →

Stone-coated steel is a steel roofing panel coated with a layered stone-chip finish, formed into architectural profiles that read as shingle, shake, or tile from the ground. It carries the strength and hail resistance of steel with a traditional, HOA-familiar appearance.
We install five stone-coated profiles: Barrel-Vault Tile, Pacific Tile, Pine-Crest Shake, Cottage Shingle, Granite-Ridge Shingle. Each is available in multiple color blends, so most HOA aesthetic requirements can be matched without giving up the underlying steel system.
Stone-coated steel has the highest HOA approval rate of any metal roofing system we install — its shingle and tile profiles read as traditional from the curb, which is usually the sticking point for design review committees. We provide material samples, color chips, and manufacturer spec sheets to support your submission at no additional cost.
Yes. Stone-coated steel carries a Class 4 impact resistance rating — the highest available — which qualifies for meaningful premium discounts from most Texas carriers. In hail-prone North Texas counties, many homeowners see 20–35% reductions on their wind/hail premium.
Stone-coated steel typically lasts 40 to 70 years depending on the specific profile and coating, versus 15–20 years for asphalt shingles. It falls short of standing seam's 50–70 year range at the low end, but comfortably outlasts every non-metal alternative.
Stone-coated steel runs about $10–$16 per square foot installed in the Dallas–Fort Worth market. On a representative 3,500 sq ft roof, that works out to roughly $35,000–$56,000 installed. Your exact number depends on roof size, pitch, and complexity — request a free estimate for your specific home.
