Architectural metal is usually the last 5% of a project — the part that decides whether the job looks finished or looks tacked on. These are the prompts homeowners and contractors most often bring to Dixon's.
Seams, sizing, and hanger spacing are all fixable. Seamless gutters sized for your roof pitch handle Central Illinois storms without the annual reset.
A custom-fabricated chimney cap with proper crown and flashing detail stops both water and animals — without the generic big-box look.
Copper bonnets age into a warm patina and last generations. We replicate historic profiles or design new ones to match the architecture.
Custom scuppers, decorative caps, facade accents — if it bends and it's architectural, we can draw it, bid it, and build it.
Custom curbs, adapters, and transitions get built to spec in the shop and shipped to the site — no field improvisation.
Old Springfield and Athens homes often have cornices and flashings nobody stocks. We profile, fabricate, and install replacements that blend with the original.
No call centers, no rotating subcontractors. Whether it's a single chimney cap in Petersburg or a full commercial facade package in Springfield, the four-step flow is the same.

The fabrication plan sets out the agreed dimensions, material, and finish. Confirm the included work, material availability, and production schedule with the shop.

Dixon's stands behind the install. Gutter adjustments, flashing retouches, and periodic service are all handled by the same crew who built the piece.
The questions homeowners and facilities managers ask most often — answered plainly, with no SEO fluff.
Copper (16 and 20 oz), galvanized steel, pre-painted Kynar-coated steel, and stainless on request. Most residential work is copper or painted steel; commercial work leans galvanized and painted steel with copper or stainless accents as specified.
Yes — one-off work is the shop's specialty. Bay-window bonnets, decorative scuppers, custom chimney caps, cornice replications, and architectural accents are all in the wheelhouse. Bring a photo or a sketch and we'll quote it from there.
Yes. Dixon's fabricates to submitted shop drawings, takes off from sets, and can deliver with or without install. Commercial GC and architect relationships across Sangamon, Menard, and Mason counties are long-standing.

Yes. Older Springfield and Athens homes often have cornices, crowns, and flashings that no longer have off-the-shelf matches. We profile the original, draw it, and fabricate a replacement that blends with the rest of the house.
