Smart, Resilient Roofing Built for Long-Term Value
Charleston is known for its blend of classic Midwestern charm, a vibrant university presence, and historic neighborhoods with real character. But living in Central Illinois also means dealing with temperature swings, strong storms, and snowy winters—all of which can take a toll on your roof. That’s why more homeowners in this area are choosing metal roofing services that offer both strength and style.
At Whitney Roofing, we deliver professional metal roofing installation in Charleston with a focus on quality, reliability, and honest craftsmanship. Whether your home is a century-old gem near Eastern Illinois University or a newer build on the outskirts of town, we’ll help you find a roofing solution that fits your structure, budget, and long-term needs.
What Makes Metal Roofing a Top Choice in Charleston?
It’s no longer just a trend—metal roofing is now one of the most trusted materials for residential roofs in Illinois. And for good reason.
Durable in Every Season
From hot, humid summers to snowy, wind-blown winters, Charleston weather puts any roof to the test. Metal roofing is engineered to stand up to the worst of it—with exceptional resistance to hail, ice, wind, and fire.
Most metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, offering twice the lifespan of traditional asphalt shingles.
Lower Utility Bills, Greater Energy Efficiency
Metal reflects sunlight and heat, helping to reduce indoor temperatures in the summer and lightening the load on your cooling system. That energy efficiency translates to monthly savings and a more comfortable home environment.
Curb Appeal That’s Modern and Refined
Today’s metal roofing comes in a wide range of colors, finishes, and profiles. You can choose standing seam panels for a clean, contemporary look or opt for metal shingles that mimic the texture of wood shake or slate. It’s a dramatic upgrade in both protection and presentation.

Real Protection Backed by Real Warranties
A metal roof is a long-term investment—and we treat it that way. That’s why we work with manufacturers who offer 40+ year material warranties, and we back our labor with workmanship guarantees you can count on.
Metal roofing is also fire-resistant and extremely low maintenance, offering protection and peace of mind all year long.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, cool roofing materials (like those used in metal roofs) can reduce energy costs significantly by reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat—an especially valuable benefit in warmer months.
Designed for the Character of Charleston
Charleston is more than just home to EIU—it’s a city that blends history, education, and community pride. Whether your house is part of the city’s historic past or a newer addition to its growing future, the roof over it needs to reflect the same level of care and permanence.
Our team respects the architectural diversity of Charleston homes and provides design-forward options that suit both traditional and contemporary styles. We’ll help you choose a finish and profile that complements your exterior, adds value, and turns heads.
Investing in Your Roof is Investing in Your Home
Replacing or upgrading your roof can feel like a big decision—but with the right team, it’s one of the most rewarding improvements you can make. A metal roof adds:
- Years of hassle-free protection
- Improved resale value
- Greater energy savings
- Reduced repair costs
According to the National Association of Realtors, exterior upgrades like roofing have one of the highest ROI rates for homeowners—especially when premium materials like metal are used.

Thank you so very much to Kalen and Whitney Roofing for the excellent job they did replacing shingles on our home. Both he and his crew worked together like a well oiled machine from beginning to end with true professionalism. It was … More evident that they took pride in their work. After completing the roof, they addressed the cleanup with the same gusto. We are lucky to have found them.

What a great relief that I found a contractor that was willing to work with my elderly parents and I was 💯 confident they weren’t being taken advantage of. Kalen and his crew did a great job replacing their roof and cleaning up after the … More job was completed. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of getting a new roof!

Whitney Roofing did an amazing job on our church, Woodbury Country Church, last fall. They did the work quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after the job. Our congregation was very pleased with the results. We also appreciated them … More going out of their way to supply us material to do a small project at our home.

Due to damage done by hail we had to have our roof replaced. A big THANK YOU to WHITNEY ROOFING. Very professional from the first contact with Clayton, our contact persin (who explained the process and answered our questions), and throughout … More the actual work day. Great clean up, our yard and area around the house looks like it did prior to the job. Even blew the shingle grit and dirt off our two porches. Highly recommend WHITNEY ROOFING.
P.S. ---Pete, you sure have a nice WHITNEY Family. -
The inspection on our home sale revealed hail damage from the spring storms, and we were on a tight deadline to complete repairs. Whitney Roofing went above and beyond to make sure we had everything in place to meet our closing date. Kalen’s … More supportive attitude and calm, reassuring demeanor took a great deal of stress out of an already frustrating situation.
He personally coordinated with the adjuster, and his persistence and problem-solving completely turned things around for us.
We wholeheartedly recommend Whitney Roofing. As a locally owned small business, they deliver the kind of care, professionalism, and quality you rarely find. Kalen’s commitment to excellent work—with minimal stress—makes him one of the best in the business. -
I’d like to share a strong recommendation for Whitney Roofing Company. About a month ago, a powerful gust of wind tore off a section of my restaurant’s roof. This company was referred by a friend, and although I was initially skeptical, … More they truly exceeded my expectations.
Without even having a signed contract, they promptly covered the damaged area to prevent further water or structural damage—demonstrating both initiative and integrity. I was also concerned about the challenge of color-matching the new section to the original roof, which was installed over 10 years ago. However, they not only restored the damaged area, but also took the time and care to blend the repair seamlessly into the existing structure. The color match was impressively close.
Their crew was polite, professional, and left the job site spotless. What started as an unpleasant situation turned into a very positive experience thanks to their work ethic and honesty. I wholeheartedly recommend Whitney Roofing Company and hope their business continues to thrive—they’ve truly earned it!
