Decra Roofing: Built for Texas Weather

Most homeowners replace their roof more often than they should. Not because they want to,

but because asphalt shingles just don’t last in Texas. Between hail, high winds, and triple-digit

summers, “standard” roofs get cooked, cracked, and torn up way before their time.

That’s why Whaley Construction Group installs Decra stone-coated steel roofing. It’s not

hype, it’s not trendy — it’s one of the only systems that actually holds up here.

What Decra Is

Decra is a roofing system built on steel panels coated with natural stone. That gives you two

things at once:

• The strength of metal that takes hits without splitting or tearing.

• The look of high-end shingles, shake, or tile without the cheap “sheet metal” feel.

The panels interlock, which means wind and water don’t get under them. Once it’s on, it’s built

to stay put.

Why It Matters in North Texas

Every storm season here brings the same story: hail damages shingles, insurance pays out,

and a new roof goes up. Ten years later, same story. For some homeowners, it’s less than

five.

Decra doesn’t play that game. It’s engineered to:

• Handle hail better than asphalt.

• Withstand winds up to 120 mph.

• Resist fire and heat degradation.

Instead of running in circles with claims and repairs, you get a roof designed to outlast

multiple storm cycles.

Why We Offer It

We don’t put every product under the sun on our list. If it doesn’t prove itself in real conditions,

we don’t install it. Decra makes the cut because it solves real problems:

1. Durability. It outlasts multiple asphalt replacements.

2. Value. It adds resale confidence — “lifetime roof” carries weight.

3. Design. It looks sharp, not industrial.

Our reputation is tied to what we build. Decra lets us deliver roofs that actually live up to the

promise.

Who It’s For

Not everyone needs or wants a Decra roof. It’s for homeowners who:

• Are tired of replacing roofs every decade.

• Care about property value and long-term ROI.

• Want a roof that performs without looking like corrugated metal.

If you’re just looking for the lowest upfront cost, asphalt still exists. But if you’re thinking about

the next 20–30 years, Decra is one of the few systems that makes sense.

Bottom Line

At Whaley Construction Group, we measure roofing by results, not marketing brochures.

Decra has earned its place because it works. It holds up against Texas weather, looks good

on the house, and saves homeowners from the constant replace-and-repair cycle.
