Metal roofing requires more precision than a shingle job. Here's exactly what happens from your first call through final inspection — and why it matters for your warranty and long-term performance.
We measure your roof, assess the deck condition, evaluate drainage and penetrations, and discuss system options — standing seam vs. metal shingle, panel profiles, and color. You get a detailed written estimate before anything moves.
Metal roofing is custom-ordered to your roof's dimensions. We finalize panel profile, gauge, coating, and color — then place the order. Lead times vary by system, and we lock your install date once materials are confirmed.
Full removal of existing roofing down to the deck. We inspect every sheathing board and replace any damaged sections. A sound, flat deck is critical for metal — even minor irregularities telegraph through the panels.
High-temp synthetic underlayment is installed across the full deck. All penetrations — chimneys, vents, skylights, valleys — are flashed to manufacturer spec before a single metal panel goes down. This is where most metal failures originate when done wrong.
Panels are installed with precision alignment, proper clip spacing, and correct fastener torque — all to manufacturer specification. Expansion and contraction clearances are set at every panel for Illinois's temperature swings. Ridge cap and trim are fitted last.
Full post-installation walkthrough, magnetic nail sweep of all ground areas, and photo documentation of the completed system. Manufacturer warranty registration is handled for you. We follow up after your first significant rain to confirm everything is performing as expected.
Most metal roof installations are completed in 2–4 days depending on roof size and complexity. We communicate throughout the entire job and you receive full warranty documentation — both manufacturer and our own Lifetime Material Warranty — before we leave the site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Central Illinois homeowners ask before making the switch to metal — answered plainly.
Metal roofs typically last 40 to 50 years depending on the system type and installation quality. Standing seam systems can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Compared to asphalt shingles which typically last 20 to 25 years, a metal roof is often the last roof a homeowner will ever need to buy.
Metal roofing has a higher upfront cost — typically $15,000 to $38,000 for a residential installation compared to $8,000 to $18,000 for shingles. However, when you factor in lifespan, energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and the fact that you will not need another replacement in 20 years, metal roofing is almost always the better long-term value for homeowners who plan to stay in their home.
No — not when installed correctly. Modern metal roof installations include solid sheathing and underlayment that effectively dampens sound. Most homeowners report that a properly installed metal roof is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof during rain events. The noise concern is generally associated with exposed-fastener metal roofs on agricultural buildings without solid decking, not properly installed residential systems.
No. Metal is conductive but it does not attract lightning. Lightning strikes based on height, location, and topography — not roofing material. In the event of a lightning strike, a metal roof is actually safer because it is non-combustible and will not catch fire the way wood or asphalt materials can.
In some cases, yes — but Campbell Construction typically recommends a full tear-off before metal installation. Installing over existing shingles can trap moisture, void manufacturer warranties, and prevent proper inspection of the roof deck. A sound, flat deck is critical for metal roofing performance. We inspect every job on its own merits and advise accordingly.
Campbell Construction installs standing seam metal roofing, metal shingle systems, and commercial metal roofing including corrugated, R-panel, and long-span systems. We are also Duro-Last certified for flat and low-slope commercial applications. Standing seam is the most popular residential system we install — it offers the best long-term performance with concealed fasteners and superior weather resistance.
Yes. Metal roofing consistently adds resale value and can accelerate home sales. Buyers recognize the value of a roof that will not need replacement for decades. Metal roofs also typically qualify for homeowner insurance discounts due to their superior fire, wind, and hail resistance — which can partially offset the higher installation cost over time.
Most residential metal roof installations are completed in 2 to 4 days depending on roof size, complexity, and system type. Metal roofing requires more precision than a shingle installation — panel ordering, underlayment, flashing at all penetrations, and proper expansion clearances all take additional time to do correctly. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins and communicate throughout the project.
Yes. Campbell Construction offers 0% financing for qualified homeowners, making it easier to invest in a metal roof now and pay over time with no interest. We also assist with insurance claims — storm-damaged roofs are sometimes approved for metal replacement, meaning you may pay only your deductible. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
