Decra Roofing Company in San Antonio, TX

Stone Coated Steel roofing systems offer a unique blend of tile and metal that is becoming increasing popular across Texas. The two main manufacturers of the product are Decra and Tilcor and more and more homeowners are opting to replace their existing roofs with these products; especially folks with clay and concrete tile roofs who want to maintain their homes current look but increase the roof’s efficiency.

What is Stone Coated Steel?

Stone coated steel roofs are steel panels that are formed into patterns meant to look tile, shake, and shingle roofs. The steel panels are then coated in stone chips that provide color and protection to the metal panels. Some of the most popular styles are the Mediterranean Decra Villa Tile or the rustic shake style Decra Shake XD. Tilcor’s Antica tile pattern is also very popular among home and business owners looking to replicate a classic tile roof with a stone-coated steel product.

Presidio did an excellent job on my roof and gutter replacement last week. I was out of town and was very satisfied with all the work that was done. There were no nails in my yard or driveway from the job. I would recommend them to anyone considering roof replacement

Working with Presidio was painless. My salesperson, Hayden was knowledgeable, experienced. He fully explained what was going on with my roof and talked me through what Presidio would be doing to fix it. Pricing, schedule and payments. I'm so happy I went Presidio. Roof was done on time and Hayden was nice and respectful. Recommended.

Jon Whitaker is the best. We've had several people come take a look at our roof and say what we needed to do with no pricing and scare tactics. Jon seemed like a real genuine guy. He was the only person who showed me what he found. Told me that there wasn't enough hits on the roof to warrant a replacement and that the spots that were hit needed no repair. What salesman does that. No other word to describe Jon other than integrity. I highly recommend this company and Jon. He'll tell you straight and show you exactly what is needed and why. He's not out for a money grab, but to actually take care of his clients. If anyone reading this is unsure of which company to choose for your roofing needs, give Jon a call.

Why Choose a Decra Roof?

There are many reasons to consider a Decra or Tilcor stone coated steel roof for your home or business. As the best Decra roofing company in San Antonio we consider these to be the primary reasons to think about switching to a Decra roofing system:

Hail Resistance

Stone Coated Steel roofs have a Class 4 hail rating. Both Decra and Tilcor have this rating and it means they will hold up to 2” hailstones. Both products have hail specific warranties for hail up to 2.5” which would completely total your average roof including metal or clay tile. This allows home and business owners to qualify for reduction in their property insurance premiums. In Texas there is a specific Class 4 TDI form that you can send to your insurance agent to have your premium reduced by often more than 25%.

Wind Resistance

A properly installed stone coated steel roof can withstand hurricane force winds. Decra roofs have wind warranties up to 120 mph.

Warranty

Stone Coated Steel roofs are meant to the kind of roofs that last on your home or business for your entire life. In all likelihood you will never need to replace your Decra or Tilcor roof and their lifetime warranties attest to that fact. As the top Decra roofer in San Antonio we love installing these roofs because we know that every client will no longer have to worry about their roof.

Fire Resistance

Stone Coated Steel Roofs have the highest possible “Class A” fire rating. This makes them perfect for dry and hot environments like San Antonio where fires can start easily. This also means if a fire starts in your home your property will not explode in flames like if you had an asphalt shingle product.

Lightweight

A Decra or Tilcor roofing panel system weighs only about 150 pounds per 100 square feet when installed. This is about half the weight of standard architectural shingle and about 15% the weight of a larger concrete or clay tile roofing system. This means less force is applied to your property’s rafters, framing, walls, etc which is better for the life of your property in the long term. This also means that you do not need to work about the product being too heavy for a viable replacement. For example, if you wanted to upgrade a shingle roof to a tile roof you would likely need to get additional bracing support installed in your attic to handle the new weight load.

Sustainable and Energy Efficient

Stone coated steel roofs are recyclable, they qualify as “Cool Roofs” due to their thermal reflective efficiency, and they are elevated above the roof decking thus providing “above sheathing ventilation” which greatly reduces the heat of your attic. One of the coolest sustainable facts about a Decra or Tilcor stone coated steel roof is that they lend themselves well to water catchment systems. Water flowing off a Decra roof is qualified per the standards set by the world health organization as potable drinking water, whereas water flowing off an old asphalt roof would be toxic. All-in-all a stone coated steel roof is extremely environmentally friendly and will save you money on your electricity bill every month.

Long-term Cost Savings

A Decra roof will save you money in the long-term by reducing your insurance premiums, saving you money on your electric bill, and preventing the need to replace your roof every 6-10 years from due to hail damage.

Cost of a Decra Roof?

A Decra or Tilcor roof is generally going to cost about 3x what a traditional asphalt shingle roof would cost to replace. Depending on the type of roof it will usually cost 25-50% less than a tile roof and roughly the same as a standing seam metal roof. To replace a Decra roof, including tear off, you will find yourself in the range of $9 to $20 per square foot. Some factors that can drastically affect the cost of a new Decra roof include the amount of valleys and hips your roof has, whether you elect for a batten or direct-to-deck installation, the amount of wall and chimney flashings on your home, and the steepness and height of the roof.

When considering whether it makes sense to install a Decra roof in San Antonio it is always best to obtain a free estimate from one of our qualified project managers. They will help you analyze the cost-benefit ratio in the long term of a new stone coated steel roof when factoring in considerations such as insurance premium reductions, reduce energy costs each month, and not having to replace your roof every 6-10 years due to a hailstorm. Overall, in the long term, installing a new Decra roof on your home is almost always the best financial decision and we can help provide you with the facts needed to make that decision.
