A Superior Roofing System
(click to expand)
Stone-coated steel is one of the most resilient roofing systems on the market today. The interlocking panel design and multiple protective layers make it highly resistant to hurricanes, high winds, ice, and heavy rainfall. Unlike traditional roofing materials, it doesn’t crack, warp, or deteriorate with age; ensuring long-term structural integrity and performance in all Texas climates.
A stone-coated steel roof can last 40 to 70 years— 3 times the life of asphalt shingles. Stone coated steel has corrosion-resistant coatings to protect the thick steel core from rust and wear. This longevity means fewer replacements and longer lifespan, delivering significant savings on maintenance and multiple roof replacement costs.
Traditional clay and concrete tiles are heavy and will require structural reinforcement to your home. Stone-coated steel provides the same elegant profile with 80% less weight added. This makes it suitable for most homes to install without additional framing support. This makes installation faster, safer, and more cost-effective—especially in restoration or re-roofing projects.
Stone coated steel roofs are designed with reflective coatings with ventilated battens. This combination reduces solar heat gain and improves attic airflow. This keeps your home cooler all summer and reduces strain on your AC and utility bills.
Stone-coated steel roofs retain their beauty and function with minimal upkeep. The surface resists algae growth, UV damage, and debris buildup. Occasional rinsing and gutter maintenance is typically all that’s needed—saving homeowners time and money on repairs.
Stone-coated steel comes in a variety of styles that mimic clay tile, slate, wood shake, and architectural shingles. We have dozens of color blends and styles available, we can match almost any home style—from modern to Mediterranean.
The safest roofing options available, stone-coated steel is non-combustible and carries a Class A fire rating, the highest rating for fire resistance.
Stone-coated steel systems have a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available. This rating ensures the roof can endure high winds, hailstorms and flying debris without cracking or compromising performance. Insurance companies typically provide a 20% discount on premiums for homes with a class-4 impact rated roof.
Interlocking panels and secure fastening systems, stone-coated steel roofing can resist uplift from wind speeds up to 120–150 mph. The panel design was engineered to meet or exceed Texas Windstorm code in hurricane-prone regions. The durable material provides peace of mind during our more frequent hail storms, hurricanes and heavy winds throughout Texas.
The Stone-coated steel panels are made from up to 30% recycled content and is fully recyclable at the end of its service life. Unlike asphalt shingles which often end up in landfills, steel roofing can be repurposed or recycled. The longevity also reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposing of multiple roof replacements over time.
Roof Styles
Metal Tile Roof
The Style of the Mediterranean
Our certified Stone-coated barrel options mimic the beauty of Mediterranean architecture by blending the bold, flowing curves of traditional Spanish tile with the strength of steel.
Get the classic look of clay tile without the added weight and expensive installation costs.
Available in a variety of rich color blends, Antica lets you achieve the tile look without having to add structural support.
Did you know?
A tile roof weighs 7-10lbs per square foot. A 5000 sqft home can have 50 tons of tile sitting on the roof. Major costly structural changes are required to convert an asphalt roof into a tile roof.

Metal Shingle Roof
Classic Architecture, Modern Armor
Our stone-coated steel Shingle profile delivers the crisp shadow-lines of premium architectural asphalt while upgrading your roof to hurricane-grade strength. Each panel fuses natural stone granules to a high-tensile steel core, so you get the textured elegance without the maintenance, blow-offs, or premature fading.
7-Layer Composition
Stone-coated steel roofing isn’t just painted metal—it’s an engineered sandwich of seven protective layers, each selected for a specific reason. At the core sits high-tensile base steel, giving the panel its unrivaled strength and walk-ability without the heavyweight of concrete or clay. Both sides of that steel are submerged in ZINCALUME®, a zinc-and-aluminum alloy that outperforms galvanized coatings by up to four times in corrosion testing, sealing every cut edge against rust creep.
Next comes a precision-applied epoxy primer that bonds the metal to the flexible acrylic base coat above it. That red-tinted acrylic is more than color—it’s the “glue” that locks on millions of naturally colored stone granules. These granules armor the panel against UV degradation, soften rain noise, and deliver the rich, dimensional look that wins HOA approvals. Finally, the roof is sealed under a clear acrylic over-glaze. This capcoat sheds dirt, boosts fire resistance, and keeps the stone from releasing into gutters.
Together, these layers create a roof that easily withstands off 120 mph winds, resists hail up to 2.5 inches, and carries transferable warranties of 50 years.

Stone Coated Steel Roofing FAQ
What is a stone-coated steel roof and how is it different from traditional metal roofing?
A stone coated steel roof is a high-performance roofing system that combines the durability of metal with the elegant look of traditional roofing materials like tile, wood shake, or asphalt shingles. Each panel is made of steel or aluminum coated with stone granules and sealed with an acrylic film, which enhances appearance and protects against corrosion. Unlike traditional standing seam metal roofs, stone-coated panels offer more architectural detail and blend seamlessly into residential neighborhoods. They’re especially ideal for homeowners in Houston and Corpus Christi who want a roof that resists extreme weather but still looks high-end and fits HOA aesthetic requirements.
How long does a stone coated steel roof last in Texas climates?
Stone coated steel roofs are built to last 40 to 70 years, even in harsh Texas weather. Their interlocking panels resist wind uplift, hail, and fire, while the stone coating prevents UV degradation and rust. In hot, humid regions like Houston and coastal areas like Corpus Christi, traditional roofs may suffer premature aging, algae growth, or cracking, but stone-coated metal stands strong against these threats. It’s one of the most durable residential roofing materials available, making it an excellent long-term investment for homeowners looking to protect their property with minimal upkeep over decades.
Is stone coated steel roofing noisy during rain or hail storms?
Despite being steel, stone coated roofs are not noisy. Their acoustic performance is comparable to asphalt shingles. This is because the panels are installed over solid decking, underlayment, and sometimes batten systems, which all dampen sound. The stone coating also reduces impact noise. In fact, many homeowners report that their new stone-coated roof is actually quieter than their previous asphalt or metal roof. This makes it a great choice for Houston and Corpus Christi homes that experience heavy seasonal rain and occasional hail. You can enjoy peace inside your home no matter the weather outside.
How does stone coated steel roofing hold up against hurricanes and high winds?
Stone coated steel roofing systems are engineered to withstand extreme weather, including hurricane-force winds up to 120+ mph when installed correctly. This makes them a top recommendation for homes in windstorm-designated zones of Texas, such as Corpus Christi and surrounding coastal cities. Their interlocking panels and concealed fasteners ensure that wind and debris don’t penetrate or lift the roof. RISE Roofing installs these systems to comply with TDI (Texas Department of Insurance) windstorm certification standards, which is often required for insurance coverage in coastal counties. It’s one of the most secure roofing options for hurricane-prone regions.
Are stone coated steel roofs energy efficient for hot climates like Houston?
Yes, they’re highly energy efficient. Stone coated steel reflects more sunlight than asphalt shingles, which helps reduce attic temperatures and lowers cooling costs during Houston’s long summers. Some systems are ENERGY STAR® rated and eligible for energy efficiency tax credits. In Corpus Christi, where UV intensity and roof exposure are high, homeowners report noticeable savings on A/C bills. These roofs also promote better airflow under the panels (especially with batten systems), improving insulation performance and extending HVAC system life. If you're looking for a cool roof system that combines efficiency with aesthetics, this is a top-tier choice.
How much does a stone coated steel roof cost compared to shingles or tile?
Stone coated steel roofing typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles but less than traditional clay or concrete tiles. In Texas, installed prices often range from $10 to $14 per square foot depending on the roof size, pitch, and system used. However, the value comes from its longevity, minimal maintenance, and energy savings over time. Unlike shingles, which may need replacing every 15–25 years, a stone-coated metal roof can last 2–3 times longer. RISE Roofing provides free, no-obligation estimates and can help you evaluate cost versus lifetime value during your consultation.
Can stone coated steel roofing improve curb appeal and resale value?
Absolutely. Stone coated steel roofing offers premium aesthetics with profiles that mimic Mediterranean tile, rustic shake, or dimensional shingles — all with a vibrant, fade-resistant finish. This can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal and attract buyers who want both beauty and performance. In competitive Texas real estate markets, a lifetime roof with impact and wind resistance is a major selling point. Buyers often perceive homes with stone-coated roofs as higher quality, and appraisers may factor in the replacement cost and insurance advantages during valuation.
What kind of warranties come with stone coated steel roofs?
Most stone coated steel roofing systems come with a 50-year limited manufacturer warranty, often transferable to one subsequent homeowner. These warranties cover defects in materials and granule loss, and some include hail and wind coverage when installed by certified contractors. At RISE Roofing, we’re certified to install leading brands like DECRA and Boral, which allows us to offer these extended protections. In addition to manufacturer coverage, we include a lifetime workmanship warranty that guarantees our installation quality and support for the life of the roof.
How long does installation take for a stone coated steel roof?
Most stone coated steel roofing installations take 3 to 7 days depending on your roof size and complexity. The process includes removing the old roof (if needed), preparing the underlayment and battens (if used), and installing the interlocking panels with concealed fasteners. RISE Roofing uses skilled crews who follow all manufacturer guidelines to ensure full warranty eligibility. Our project manager keeps you informed daily during the process, and we thoroughly clean the job site upon completion. We’ll also assist with city permits and TDI windstorm inspections when applicable in Houston or Corpus Christi.
Does insurance cover stone coated steel roof upgrades?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event like hail or wind, your insurance policy may pay for a replacement using upgraded materials — including stone coated steel — depending on your policy and adjuster’s approval. RISE Roofing helps homeowners with insurance claims by inspecting, documenting damage, and meeting with your adjuster. We’ll explain upgrade options, prepare itemized estimates, and provide product specs needed for consideration. While upgrades aren’t guaranteed to be fully covered, some clients only pay the difference out-of-pocket. Contact us for a free inspection to see if your home qualifies for an insurance-supported roof replacement.
