If you’re looking for a metal roofing contractor that builds it right the first time, Sunset Metal Roofing keeps things simple: quality materials, proven methods, and no shortcuts. We install metal roofing for homes and light commercial properties across a 60-mile radius from Roseville, Illinois, including Galesburg, Peoria, Macomb, and Burlington. From the first look at your roof to the final walkthrough, the goal is straightforward: build a roof that can withstand anything our Midwestern climate throws at it.
We focus on one thing—metal—and that shows in how the work gets done. Our crew brings over 20 years of hands-on experience, and we fabricate panels on-site so everything is made to fit your roof, not forced into place later. Pair that with materials we trust from local suppliers, and you end up with a roof that’s built to last for decades, not just to “get you by.”
What Makes Our Metal Roofing Different
Most roofing companies order panels and install them. We do things differently.
Panels Made On-Site for a Better Fit
Instead of relying on pre-cut panels, we roll-form roofing panels right at your property. This is done using a New Tech Machinery portable rollforming machine.
That means:
- Panels are cut to exact lengths
- Fewer seams and joints
- Better overall fit and finish
- Less material waste
The result is a roof that not only looks better, but performs better over time.
Materials You Can Count On
We source our metal from trusted suppliers like United Steel Supply and Morning Star Metals. These are materials we trust—not products pulled off a big box store shelf.
You’ll get:
- Consistent material quality
- Reliable coatings and finishes
- Better long-term performance
Built to Hold Up Over Time
The small details matter just as much as the panels themselves.
We use:
- Premium fasteners with UV-resistant washers
- High-quality paint systems with up to a 40-year warranty
- Proper installation methods that prevent common issues
All of this adds up to a roof that stays secure and looks good for years.
Understanding Metal Roofing Materials
Not all metal roofs are built the same. The type of panel, thickness, and how it’s installed all play a role in how long your roof lasts and how well it performs.
26 Gauge vs 29 Gauge Panels
- 26 gauge (standing seam): thicker steel, stronger against weather, longer lifespan
- 29 gauge (Pro-Rib): lighter and more cost-effective, still a solid option for many buildings
In simple terms, the thicker the panel, the more it can handle over time – especially with wind, snow, and temperature changes we see here in Illinois.
Colors and Finishes
We offer over 40 color options so your roof actually fits your home or building.
- Smooth finishes for a clean, modern look
- Textured finishes for added depth and durability
- Custom trim pieces built on-site to match your roof exactly
It’s not just about how it looks – it’s about making sure everything fits and performs the way it should.
Panel Styles and System Features
We offer two proven metal roofing systems, each with its own build and application. Here’s what to know about each:
Standing seam (26-gauge):
- Hidden fasteners for a clean, streamlined look
- Panels formed on-site to exact lengths
- Fewer penetrations through the metal surface
- Strong long-term performance with minimal routine upkeep
Pro-Rib (29-gauge):
- Exposed fastener panel with a traditional metal roof profile
- Straightforward installation
- Widely used on homes, shops, barns, and outbuildings
- Reliable protection with a practical, efficient system
Both systems are fabricated and installed to fit your project, with materials and details chosen for long-term performance.
