Stone-coatedsteel roof cost
Outside guides put an installed stone-coated steel roof at about $7 to $22 a square foot, with most between $9.50 and $18. For a 2,000 square foot roof, that's $14,000 to $44,000. These are not Lifetime's prices.
What outside guidescharge per foot
The five guides we read put stone-coated steel between $7 and $22 per square foot, installed. Prices differ because the guides differ in date, state, and what the price includes.
Outside ranges, not Lifetime's prices
HomeGuide1 and Modernize2 are lead-generation sites, which sell homeowner contacts to roofers. Stone Coated Roofs3, Brown's Roofing, and Weather Shield Roofing are contractors that sell roofs.
Check this first. None of the five sources is neutral. We found no government, consumer group, or trade body price table for stone-coated steel.

Figures as each source prints them. No source gives an El Paso price.
Why the rangeis so wide
The biggest gap is what each price covers. Weather Shield includes tear-off and underlayment in its figure.5 Stone Coated Roofs lists tear-off, permits, deck repair, and ventilation as extra.3
Date matters too. HomeGuide's page began in 2023, while the contractors priced their roofs in 2025 and 2026.1
What else moves the price
- Roof size, number of stories, and slope. A pitch steeper than 6:12 costs more.1
- Panel style. Tile profiles cost more than shingle and shake, and shingle is the cheapest.1
- Brand. HomeGuide prices DECRA at $8 to $14 per square foot, Boral, Metro, and Gerard at $7.50 to $14.50, and Roser at $12 to $14.1 Weather Shield prices DECRA at $15 to $22.5
- Steel gauge, battens or direct-to-deck install, and any decking that needs replacing.1
Compared withasphalt shingles
Brown's Roofing prices stone-coated steel at $9.50 to $14 a square foot and asphalt shingles at $4.50 to $7.50.4 On a 2,000 square foot roof, that is $19,000 to $28,000 against $9,000 to $15,000.
The price gap buys a steel core under the stone granules. For how the two roofs hold up over time, read metal roof vs shingles.
Getting a numberfor your roof
A guide can't price your roof, because none of these sources prices an El Paso one. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso is a roofing company in El Paso that sells DECRA by IKO Metals and installs it with its own crew, not subcontractors.
The inspection and the written estimate are both free. You get the estimate in writing within 48 hours of the inspection.
Whoever you ask, have the estimate say what's in the price. Look for tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, and permits, since the sources above disagree on exactly those.
