JRH Construction installs stone-coated steel metal roofing on Dallas homes across Lakewood, Preston Hollow, Lake Highlands, and surrounding Dallas County neighborhoods. Stone-Coated Steel panels from Decra and Boral Steel deliver a 50 to 70 years service life, 50-year limited manufacturer warranty, and Class 4 impact — the maximum impact grade on the UL 2218 scale, at $14 to $19 per square foot installed for full tear-off and installation. JRH carries GAF Master Elite certification, $10 million-plus in bonding capacity, and SAM.gov federal registration.
Why Dallas Homeowners Choose Stone-Coated Steel Over Shingles
Dallas homeowners in neighborhoods served by Dallas ISD and the Uptown/Deep Ellum commercial core face a mix of century-old bungalows and 2000s in-fill construction, each with different deck substrates and flashing requirements. Stone-Coated Steel metal roofing delivers the profile of concrete tile at roughly half the structural load, and in Dallas specifically the material answers three homeowner concerns at once: hail survivability, HOA architectural fit, and long-run insurance cost.
Dallas took direct hits from the May 28 2019 EF-3 tornado through Preston Hollow and the June 2 2023 derecho with 70-plus mph winds across the I-635 corridor. Every one of those events pushed Dallas County shingle claims past the policy deductible and produced visible granule loss, bruised mats, and dented metal flashings on homes across Lakewood and Preston Hollow. Stone-Coated Steel panels rated to Class 4 impact — the maximum impact grade on the UL 2218 scale absorb the same impact energy without cracking the substrate or voiding the warranty.
Dallas County hail claims paid out above $1.1 billion across the 2023 and 2024 storm seasons according to the Texas Department of Insurance, and State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, and USAA all accept Class 4 metal discounts on Dallas properties. That turns a Stone-Coated Steel re-roof from a one-time capital expense into a 10-to-30-year insurance-offset — the premium reduction alone typically pays back 20 to 40 percent of the installed cost across the service life.

HOA Approval and Dallas Permit Process
Conservation districts in Kessler Park and Winnetka Heights limit exterior material changes; JRH files the required certificate-of-appropriateness paperwork with the City of Dallas Landmark Commission before the first panel ships.
