Why Stone-Coated Metal Shingles Make Sense in Arizona

Metal shingles have been the gold standard in storm-prone regions for decades. With more Prescott homes getting hit by hail and high winds during monsoon season, they're finally taking off here too. The pitch is simple:

  • Hail resistance. Class 4 impact rating (the highest there is). A standard asphalt shingle is Class 3 at best.
  • Wind resistance. 120 mph rated. No more shingle blow-offs after a monsoon storm.
  • Fire resistance. Class A. Important in Yavapai County wildfire country.
  • Lifetime warranty. Most stone-coated metal systems carry a lifetime limited warranty. The roof outlasts the house.
  • Energy efficient. Reflects solar heat back. Lower attic temps. Lower AC bills in Prescott summers.
  • Looks like shingle or tile. The stone coating gives it the texture and color of asphalt or clay tile from the curb. You don't lose the curb appeal.

The math gets interesting when you weigh the upfront cost against a 50-year lifespan and lower insurance premiums.

The Two Systems We Install

Unified Steel® Stone Coated Roofing (Westlake Royal)

Unified Steel is the modern stone-coated steel system from Westlake Royal Building Products. Made from G-90 galvanized steel coated in real stone chips bonded with acrylic. Class 4 hail, 120 mph wind, Class A fire. Limited lifetime warranty. Multiple profiles (shake, tile, shingle look) and a range of colors.

DECRA Metal Roofing

DECRA is the original stone-coated steel roofing system, going back to the 1950s. The brand is known for durability and the broadest design range in the category. Same Class 4 hail and Class A fire ratings. 50-year limited warranty. Often the first choice for high-end Prescott homes that want the look of tile without the weight.

We'll walk you through both options when we come out for your free estimate. The right choice depends on your roof pitch, your aesthetic preference, and your budget.

What a Metal Shingle Install Looks Like

  1. Free roof inspection. Drone goes up. We show you what you're working with and walk through whether metal is the right call for your roof.
  2. Written estimate with options. We quote you Unified Steel and DECRA side by side. Pick the system, color, and profile.
  3. Tear-off. Existing roof comes off. Deck gets inspected and repaired where needed.
  4. New underlayment. Synthetic underlayment goes down, ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations.
  5. Metal panels installed. Each panel locks to the next. Fasteners are hidden under the next course.
  6. Flashing, ridge, eaves. Color-matched accessories tie everything together.
  7. Final inspection + walkthrough. We show you the work, hand off paperwork and warranty registration.

Most metal shingle replacements take 3 to 5 days depending on the size of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does metal compare in cost to a standard shingle roof?

Metal shingles cost more up front, typically 1.5 to 2x a comparable asphalt shingle job. The economics improve when you factor in the lifetime warranty, lower insurance premiums (many carriers discount Class 4 roofs), and that you'll never re-roof the house again.

Will it look like a "metal barn" from the street?

No. Stone-coated metal has a matte, textured finish that mimics tile or asphalt shingle. You'd need to climb on the roof to tell. From the curb it reads as shingle or tile, not metal.

Is it noisy when it rains?

No. The stone coating plus the underlayment plus the attic deadens sound. It's no louder than a standard shingle roof.

Will hail dent it?

Class 4 rating means it survives the largest standardized hail test (2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet). Real-world hailstorms? Cosmetic ridges are possible on extreme strikes, but functional damage is rare. Both manufacturers warranty against hail penetration.

Do you offer financing for a metal shingle roof?

Yes. We have multiple financing options up to 20 years, including HELOCs and personal loans, so the higher up-front cost spreads out.

Does the community donation still apply?

Yes. $150 per roof replacement goes to a local Prescott 501(c)(3) regardless of the material you choose.
