Durham is farm country with a metal roof problem: orchard barns and older farmhouses around the Durham-Dayton Highway and the Midway are still wearing panels that have been screwed down for decades. If you drive past the Durham Community Park or the old school on Princeton Street, you can spot the rust streaks and loose fasteners from the road.
Homeowners in Durham (95938) call Chico Metal Roofing because we know the difference between a rice-farm shed that needs re-fastening and a Victorian farmhouse that needs a full standing seam retrofit. We are based in Chico and serve Durham and the surrounding Butte County area, and we have worked on enough almond and walnut orchard buildings to know what holds up when the north wind blows.
Metal Roofing in Durham (95938)
Durham sits on the valley floor between Chico and the Butte County line, with deep loam soils that shift slightly with the wet winters and dry summers. That means we pay attention to how a barn or shed is anchored, not just how the panels look. Many properties here are long, narrow orchard parcels with gravel drives and mature walnut trees that drop limbs, so access for a crew truck and trailer can be tight. We plan the staging area before we show up, especially on the older farmhouses along the Midway where the eaves are low and the power drops are close.
Our team has installed and repaired metal roofs on agricultural buildings, ranch homes, and a handful of newer custom houses on the east side of town. We carry the same approach to a rice-farm shed as we do to a two-story home: check the decking, verify the fasteners, and make sure water has somewhere to go. We are a Metal Roofing Alliance member, fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we handle screw replacement and re-fastening for the corrugated and ribbed panel roofs that are common on Durham outbuildings.

How a Job Works in Durham
Step 1: you call (530) 924-0344 or send a request, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk the roof, check the fasteners and flashing, look at the gutters, and talk through whether a repair, a retrofit over shingles, or a full replacement makes sense for your building. You get a written estimate with the scope spelled out.
Step 2: once you approve, we pull the roofing permit through the local building department and schedule the work. On Durham farm properties, we coordinate around harvest and irrigation schedules when we can, and we keep the staging area clear of orchard equipment. For a standing seam or corrugated panel install, we remove the old roofing, inspect and repair the decking, and set the new panels with the correct fasteners for our wind and heat conditions.
Step 3: cleanup and final walkthrough. We magnet-sweep the driveway and lawn for screws, haul away the old material, and walk the roof with you to show the flashing details and the warranty paperwork. We leave your property clean and we do not leave a pile of scrap by the barn.
Pricing in Durham depends on the building, the access, and the condition of the decking. As a ballpark, corrugated and ribbed panel roofing starts around $5.50 per square foot, metal roof over shingles (retrofit) starts around $7 per square foot, and a full metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot. Standing seam starts around $10 per square foot, and stone-coated steel or metal shingle roofing starts around $9 per square foot. Repairs and leak repairs start around $450, screw replacement and re-fastening starts around $750, and flashing, chimney, or skylight repair starts around $600. Snow guards and ice protection start around $1,200, and gutters for metal roofs start around $9 per linear foot. The biggest cost factors are roof size, how steep it is, how tight the access is for a trailer, and whether we find rotten decking once the old panels come off.
