Stone-Coated Steel
What we do on this job.
DECRA roofing adds a distinctive elegance to a home, with a long reputation for performance, longevity and versatility. DECRA Tile has been an alternative to traditional tile for more than fifty years. It is durable and lightweight, it can be walked on, and it needs little to no maintenance.
Stone-coated steel starts as galvanized steel pressed into the shape of a tile, shake or shingle. A layer of stone granules is bonded to the surface and sealed with an acrylic overcoat. From the street it reads as a traditional roof, and up close it is a steel panel that will not crack, curl or rot.

The Difference
Worth knowing first.
The weight is the first advantage. Clay and concrete tile are heavy enough that many houses need their framing checked or reinforced before a tile roof goes on. Stone-coated steel weighs a fraction of that, so most homes can take it without structural changes, including homes that already carry a shingle roof.
Hail is the second. Steel does not shatter the way clay tile does, and the textured stone finish hides the small dents that would show on smooth metal. Many stone-coated steel products carry the highest impact rating, which some Texas insurers reward with a lower premium.
The panels are also walkable, which matters more than it sounds. A cracked clay tile often breaks because someone stepped on it to service a satellite dish, clean a gutter or fix a vent. Stone-coated steel shrugs that off, so the roof does not suffer every time someone needs to get up there.
DECRA comes in several profiles and color variations, so you can design a roof that suits the house: a tile profile for a Mediterranean-style home, a shake profile for a rustic look, or a shingle profile that blends into a neighborhood of architectural shingles.
It costs more than asphalt shingles and less than most natural tile or slate. If you are replacing a hail-damaged roof and want the next one to last, it is worth pricing at the free inspection.

Stone-Coated Steel, answered.
Is stone-coated steel the same as a metal roof?
It is steel, but pressed into tile, shake or shingle shapes and finished with bonded stone granules, so it looks like a traditional roof rather than panels.
Can I walk on a DECRA roof?
Yes. It is walkable, unlike clay tile, which cracks easily underfoot.
How does it hold up to hail?
Well. Steel does not crack like tile, and the stone finish hides small dents. Many products carry the highest impact rating.
Does my house need extra framing for it?
Usually not. Stone-coated steel is lightweight compared with clay or concrete tile.
