Boral Steel Roofing Cedar Park TX
Boral steel roofing Cedar Park TX homeowners ask about now has a different name: Boral's North American roofing lines became part of Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions, and Boral Steel stone-coated roofing is now sold as Unified Steel Stone Coated Roofing. Same category of product, a newer name. That matters when you ask for quotes, samples and warranty paperwork.
What stone-coated steel actually is
Stone-coated steel is a steel panel with protective base layers, a coat of stone granules and a glaze on top. The panels are pressed into profiles that look like shingles, shake or tile, so from the street it reads as a traditional roof while underneath it's steel. Westlake Royal publishes Class 4 hail impact resistance, a 120 mph wind rating, and a Class A fire rating when installed over the specified underlayment, backed by a 50-year limited warranty.
Those are manufacturer ratings for the product. What you get on your house also depends on the installation, which is why the questions below matter.
Stone-coated steel vs standing seam vs shingles
| Stone-coated steel (Boral / Unified Steel) | Standing seam metal | Impact-rated shingles | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look | Shingle, shake or tile profiles | Clean vertical panels, modern | Traditional shingle |
| Hail rating | Class 4 published by the manufacturer | Varies by panel gauge and product | Class 4 on rated products |
| Fasteners | Concealed under interlocking panels | Concealed in the seam | Nailed, covered by the course above |
| HOA fit | Often easier: it looks traditional | Some covenants restrict metal looks | Usually approved |
| Dents | Granule surface can hide minor marks | Visible on flat pans; oil canning is normal | Bruising rather than dents |
| Relative cost | Above shingles | Above shingles | Lowest of the three |

Five questions to ask before a Boral steel roof goes on
- Is the installer trained on this specific system? Manufacturer warranty terms can depend on how the roof is installed, and stone-coated steel installs differently from shingles and from standing seam. Ask any installer, including us, directly.
- Which profile, and does your HOA approve it? Get HOA approval in writing before anything is ordered.
- What goes underneath? The Class A fire rating depends on the specified underlayment, so it should appear on the quote by name.
- What does your insurance policy say about metal? Many Texas policies include a cosmetic damage exclusion for metal roofs, and some carriers offer a discount for Class 4 roofs. Ask about both in the same call, and get the answer in writing.
- Whose name is on the warranty paperwork? Make sure the manufacturer warranty is registered to you and the address, and ask how transfer works if you sell.
A note on pricing: we don't publish a stone-coated steel price, because it depends on profile, roof complexity and tear-off. A written, line-item quote after a free inspection is the only honest number.
How a stone-coated steel roof goes on
The install differs from both shingles and standing seam, which is why installer experience on the system matters.
- Tear-off and deck check. The old roof comes off and the decking is inspected. Soft or damaged sheets are replaced before anything else.
- Underlayment. The manufacturer specifies the underlayment, and the Class A fire rating depends on it.
- Battens or direct-to-deck. Depending on the profile and the manufacturer's instructions, panels are fastened to wood battens or directly to the deck.
- Interlocking panels. Panels overlap and interlock so the fasteners are covered by the course above.
- Trim and flashing. Ridge, hip, rake and wall flashings in matching stone-coated trim finish the roof and keep the look consistent.
