How much does a new roof cost in North Canton and Canton, OH?
Roofing by Guttrz gives one flat written quote after the owner inspects your roof himself. The quote is good for one year, with no sign-today pricing.
A new asphalt shingle roof in North Canton and Canton, OH costs about $7,500 to $10,500 for a small ranch of 15 to 20 squares, $10,000 to $16,000 for an average home of 20 to 30 squares, and $15,000 to $24,000 for a large or steep roof of 30 to 40 squares. A square is 100 square feet of roof.

How much does a new roof cost in North Canton? For an asphalt shingle roof with a full tear-off, Guttrz prices run from about $7,500 for a small ranch to about $24,000 for a large or steep two-story, with most average homes in North Canton, Canton and the rest of Stark County landing between $10,000 and $16,000. Those are real Guttrz price ranges for spring 2027, not a national average. This page shows the table, explains what a square is, walks through everything that moves the number, and covers how a roof plus gutter guards is priced when it is done as one job.
How much does a new roof cost in North Canton and Stark County?
The table below is how Guttrz sizes a roof replacement. Every price covers the full job: tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge, starter strip, ridge vent, architectural shingles, dumpster, magnet sweep and cleanup. Your written quote will be one number inside or near one of these ranges, and it is good for one year.
| House | Roof size | Guttrz price range | Typical in Stark County |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small ranch | About 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 | Postwar ranches and small capes, walkable pitch, one or two valleys |
| Average home | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 | Two-story colonials and split-levels from the 1960s to 1990s, attached garage |
| Large or steep | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 | Larger two-stories, steep front gables, multiple dormers, many valleys |
Where your roof lands inside a range depends on the items in the next sections. A 25-square roof with a walkable pitch, one layer and sound plywood sits near the bottom of its range. The same 25 squares at a steep pitch with two layers and a chimney sits near the top.
What is a square in roofing?
A square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Roofers measure and price in squares because shingles are sold that way: three bundles of architectural shingles cover about one square. A 1,600 square foot ranch does not have a 16-square roof, though. Pitch and overhangs add area. At a common 6/12 pitch, multiply the footprint by about 1.12, then add the overhangs, and that 1,600 square foot footprint becomes roughly 1,900 square feet of roof, or 19 squares. The owner measures the actual roof on the inspection, so your quote uses real squares, not a guess from the tax card. For how the per-square math works across Stark County, read roof cost per square in Stark County.
What moves the price of a roof replacement?
Seven things decide where a roof lands in the table. Squares matter most, then pitch and layers, then the details on the roof. None of them are surprises on install day because the owner saw them on the inspection and priced them on the quote.
Squares
More roof means more shingles, more underlayment, more tear-off and more time in the dumpster. Each extra square adds material and labor, which is why a 35-square roof costs well over double a 15-square one once the steeper pitch that usually comes with it is counted.
Pitch: walkable or steep
A roof up to about 6/12 is walkable, and the install moves fast. Above about 8/12 the install needs roof jacks, planks and harness anchors, and every bundle is carried more slowly. Steep roofs also have more surface for the same footprint. That is why the large or steep row in the table starts higher than the average row ends.
Extra layers
A second layer of shingles roughly doubles the tear-off time and the dumpster weight. The residential code Ohio uses allows at most two layers, so a roof with two already on it has no choice but a full tear-off. Guttrz tears off every roof regardless, as the roof overlay vs tear-off page explains, so the layer count changes the price, not the method.
Plywood replacement
Once the shingles are off, the deck shows. Soft or delaminated sheets, usually at the eaves where ice dams sat for years or around a long-leaking chimney, have to be replaced before underlayment goes on. Plywood is priced per sheet on your quote, so you know the number before the install, not after. Most roofs in good shape need none or a few sheets. A roof with a history of ice dams can need more; read ice dams on Ohio roofs for why.
Chimneys and skylights
Every penetration needs flashing cut and sealed by hand. A chimney gets new step flashing and counterflashing, a skylight gets a new flashing kit or is replaced while the roof is open. Each one adds time, and a brick chimney that needs tuckpointing is a separate trade the report will flag.
Ridge and intake venting
Ridge vent is included in every Guttrz roof, but a ridge vent only works if air can get in low. Homes with painted-over or missing soffit vents may need intake added so the attic breathes and the new shingles are not cooked from below. That is quoted as a line item when the inspection shows it is needed.
Shingle line
Guttrz installs architectural shingles, which cost more than 3-tab per square but last 25 to 30 years in the Midwest versus 15 to 20 and carry wind ratings of 110 to 130 mph versus 60 to 70. Within architectural lines, a heavier designer shingle or an impact-rated one costs more per square than a standard one. The architectural vs 3-tab shingles page has the market cost differences.
What is included in the Guttrz price?
Everything the job needs, listed on the quote. Tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, drip edge, starter strip, ridge vent, architectural shingles, the dumpster, the permit where one is required, a magnet sweep of the yard for nails, and full cleanup. The only lines that vary after the inspection are plywood sheets and any intake venting, and both are on the quote before you sign. The roof replacement in North Canton and Stark County hub lists the whole system and the five-step process.
How is a roof plus gutter guards priced together?
As one visit with one quote, and the logic favors doing both at once. When the old roof comes off, the fascia and the gutter hangers are exposed. If your gutters are spike-hung, sagging or pulling away, that is the moment to take them down, because new seamless gutters go up right after the drip edge, and the drip edge laps into the new gutter the way it should. Gutter guards go on last, on gutters that are new, clean and sloped, so the guard sits flat and the mesh meets the shingle edge cleanly.
Doing it as one job saves a second set of ladders in your beds, a second scheduling call and a second cleanup, and it means one company owns the whole edge of the roof if anything ever leaks there. Guttrz does not publish gutter or guard dollar figures; gutters are priced per linear foot after a measurement, and the guard pricing logic is on the gutter guard cost in Canton page. The roof and gutter replacement page covers how the bundle is scheduled and what to expect the week of the install.
How does the Guttrz quote work?
The owner inspects the roof himself and photographs it. You get a written report with a Good, Watch or Replace Soon rating. If it is Replace Soon, you get one flat written quote, good for one year, with the included list and any plywood or venting lines spelled out. There is no sign-today price, no second number if you call back in six months, and no presentation at your table. If the rating is Good or Watch, the report says so and you keep the photos. Read the free roof inspection page for what gets checked.
How do I compare roof quotes in Stark County?
Compare the included list, not the bottom number. Three quotes can be $4,000 apart because one skips ice and water shield beyond the code minimum, one leaves the plywood price open until the deck is exposed, and one is an overlay. Ask each roofer for the shingle line by name, the underlayment type, where the ice and water shield runs, whether the permit is included, how plywood is priced and how long the price holds. The questions to ask before signing a roofing contract post is a checklist you can take to every estimate. If a quote only holds until the end of the visit, read local roofer vs storm chaser before you sign.

Questions
Does the price include tearing off the old roof?
Yes. Every Guttrz price in the table is for a full tear-off down to the deck, with the dumpster, the haul-away and the magnet sweep included. A second layer of old shingles adds tear-off time and dumpster weight, so it moves the price up within the range, but it never changes the method.
How much more do architectural shingles cost than 3-tab?
For the shingles themselves, architectural lines commonly run about 20 to 40 percent more per square than 3-tab, a market range, not a Guttrz price. The labor to install them is about the same. In return you get a thicker shingle rated for 110 to 130 mph wind and a 25 to 30 year typical life in the Midwest, versus 60 to 70 mph and 15 to 20 years for 3-tab. Guttrz installs architectural shingles only.
Does a steep roof cost more to replace?
Yes. Above about 8/12 pitch the install needs roof jacks, planks and anchors, every bundle moves more slowly, and there is more roof surface for the same footprint. A steep 30-square roof can cost as much as a walkable 36-square one. The owner measures the pitch on the inspection so it is in the quote, not a surprise.
What happens if you find rotten plywood under the shingles?
It gets replaced before any underlayment goes on, because new shingles over a soft deck will not hold nails or stay flat. Plywood is priced per sheet on your quote, so you know the number before install day. Most sound roofs need none or a few sheets at the eaves. A roof with years of ice dams or a long chimney leak can need more, and the inspection photos usually show where.
Is the quote really good for a whole year?
Yes. One flat written quote, good for one year from the date on it. You can get the inspection and quote this winter and schedule the install for spring or summer 2027 at the same price. There is no sign-today discount and no second number if you call back later.
Will homeowners insurance pay for my new roof?
Only if the roof was damaged by a covered event like hail or wind, and only for the damage, not for age and wear. Guttrz does not do insurance work, meet with adjusters or cover deductibles. If you think you have storm damage, you can still book the free inspection for an honest photo report, then take that report to your insurer yourself.
How many squares is my house?
Take the footprint of the house and attached garage from your county auditor record, multiply by a pitch factor, and add the overhangs. At 6/12 pitch the factor is about 1.12, so a 1,600 square foot ranch footprint becomes roughly 1,900 square feet of roof, or 19 squares. At 9/12 the factor is 1.25 and the same footprint is about 21 squares plus overhangs. The owner measures the real roof on the inspection, so the quote never relies on this math.
