Stone-coated Panels | Metal Roofing | Roofing | Englewood
Imagine a roof that blends the timeless elegance of textured stone with the proven strength of steel—all while standing strong against Englewood’s blazing summers, sudden hailstorms, and salt-laden coastal winds. HEP’s stone-coated panels deliver that rare combination, wrapping a galvanized steel core in finely quarried stone granules to create a lightweight shield that shrugs off corrosion, cracking, and fading. Homeowners love the rich, dimensional look; insurance companies appreciate the Class 4 impact rating; and you’ll enjoy decades of low-maintenance performance that outlasts traditional asphalt by a mile.
Because every panel is fastened in an interlocking grid, uplift from hurricane-force gusts becomes a worry of the past. The baked-on acrylic finish reflects radiant heat, trimming energy bills while keeping attic temperatures in check, and each panel is backed by HEP’s industry-leading warranty for total peace of mind.

FAQs
What are stone-coated metal roofing panels and how do they differ from traditional asphalt shingles?
Stone-coated panels are formed from corrosion-resistant 26- or 24-gauge galvanized steel and then coated with an acrylic resin and a layer of natural stone granules. This gives you the strength of metal with the textured appearance of tile, shake, or shingle. Compared with asphalt, the panels are roughly half the weight, Class A fire-rated, non-porous, and designed to last two to three times longer without curling, cracking, or losing granules.
How well do stone-coated panels perform in Englewood’s hail-prone and high-wind climate?
They are engineered for severe weather. The interlocking design resists uplift up to 120–150 mph, and the steel core easily passes UL 2218 Class 4 impact testing—the highest hail-resistance rating. Many insurers in Colorado offer premium discounts because the panels dramatically reduce hail claims. The stone finish also deflects UV exposure at Englewood’s higher altitude, minimizing thermal expansion and color fade.
What is the expected lifespan and warranty coverage of a stone-coated steel roof?
A properly installed system routinely lasts 50 years or longer. Manufacturers back this up with 40- to 50-year transferable limited warranties that cover corrosion, coating integrity, and fade resistance, plus 120-mph wind warranties. Our Englewood installation crews add a 10-year workmanship guarantee, so both materials and labor are protected.
Are stone-coated metal roofs noisy during rain or hail storms?
No. Unlike open-framed metal barns, residential stone-coated systems are installed over solid decking, synthetic underlayment, and in many cases the existing shingle layer. These layers, combined with the stone granules, deaden sound so interior noise levels are comparable to or quieter than a standard asphalt roof.
How much does a stone-coated panel roof cost in Englewood and is it eligible for insurance or energy rebates?
Installed pricing in the Denver metro typically ranges from $10 to $14 per square foot, depending on profile, roof pitch, and tear-off requirements—about double the cost of architectural shingles but less than concrete tile. Because the system is Class 4 impact-rated and Energy Star-listed, many local insurers offer 15–30 % hail-resistant roof discounts, and Xcel Energy’s rebate program may credit up to $0.30 per square foot for reflective colors, offsetting part of the initial investment.
What does the installation process involve and how long will my project take?
After permits are pulled, we remove the old roofing (unless an overlay is allowed), inspect and replace any damaged decking, lay down high-temp synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, then fasten the interlocking panels with corrosion-resistant screws. Flashings, ridge ventilation, and stone-coated trim pieces finish the system. A typical 3,000-sq-ft Englewood home takes 3–5 days from tear-off to final inspection, and you can remain in the house throughout the process.
