Champaign Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Champaign, IL for residential and commercial properties across east central Illinois. A new roof over new framing is inspected twice before anybody looks at a shingle. That sequence is the whole difference between this page and our replacement page, and getting it in the right order is most of what you are buying from us.
The order runs framing, then sheathing, then cover, then final. The deck has to be visible when the inspector arrives, which means the nailing pattern, the panel edges and the clips are all still readable.
Once underlayment is down, nobody can confirm any of it without pulling the roof back apart again. Clips, panel gaps and the fastener spacing at the edges all belong to that one visit. The deck is only honest while it is open.
So we do not dry in ahead of the inspection to save a day. We photograph the open deck, call the city's building safety desk for the sheathing look, and cover it the same day it passes.
A rain forecast is a reason to move the inspection earlier, not a reason to skip it and hope. Moving an inspection is a phone call; uncovering a finished roof is a claim.
The ice barrier follows a local designation rather than a statewide yes. The code requires it where the jurisdiction has recorded ice forming at the eaves and backing water up, and that entry lives in a climate table your building department controls. We ask them, in writing, before any membrane is ordered for your address. An email answer also protects you from a bidder who priced the eave out.
Illinois now holds a statewide baseline that a city may exceed and may not undercut, and the state licenses this trade under 225 ILCS 335. The number belongs on the contract. It is also what lets the city release the roofing permit at all, which makes it a fast way to check a bidder you do not know. A contractor who cannot produce the number cannot get your permit released either.
Ventilation is designed at the plan stage: intake low, exhaust high, baffles holding insulation off the deck, net free area sized against the attic floor. And on a campus-area infill where the general contractor self-performs the roof, say no to us. A separate roofing contract on a tight build makes the schedule worse rather than cheaper, and we would rather tell you that first. Coordination is a cost even when nobody puts it on a line item.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — open-terrain wind exposure with no upwind roughness, starter course carried up the rakes as well as the eaves, drip edge with a hemmed leg over a continuous cleat, six fasteners in the common bond on every slope, underlayment cap fasteners in place of staples, polymer-modified shingle mats that stay flexible in February — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Champaign and nearby communities including Rantoul, Mahomet, Savoy, Danville.

Materials, equipment and how we do residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with open-terrain wind exposure with no upwind roughness, starter course carried up the rakes as well as the eaves, drip edge with a hemmed leg over a continuous cleat, six fasteners in the common bond on every slope, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Champaign job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in east central Illinois means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Champaign Chooses Champaign Roof Pros
- ✓Perimeter before product: rake starter, hemmed edge metal and fastener spacing are line items on the bid, not assumptions buried in a square price
- ✓One fastening pattern on all four slopes, because on ground this open there is no sheltered side to quote down and anyone who prices one is guessing
- ✓Condition inspections booked for the cool half of the year, with the temperature recorded, because a seal test in July passes roofs that fail in March
- ✓We argue against the easy upsells here: impact-rated shingles ahead of fastening, coatings over asphalt, gutter guards in a subdivision with no canopy, and new tile in a freeze-thaw market
