Roof replacement in North Canton, OH is the newest service from Guttrz, the North Canton gutter company. Roofing by Guttrz means one thing: a full asphalt shingle roof replacement with the owner doing the inspection himself, a written photo report, and one flat quote good for one year. No sales presentation at your kitchen table, no price that expires at the end of the visit. Installs start spring 2027 and free inspections are open now. Below: what is included, the process, cost, how long it takes, permits, and what Guttrz does not do.
What is included in a roof replacement from Guttrz?
Every Guttrz roof replacement is a full tear-off with a complete new roof system on top, not a layer of shingles nailed over the old ones. The price on your quote covers the whole list below. Nothing on it is an upsell.
- Full tear-off of the old shingles down to the roof deck, so the plywood can be checked before anything new goes on.
- Synthetic underlayment over the whole deck. It does not wrinkle or tear the way old felt paper does.
- Ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys. This self-adhering membrane is what stops ice dam water from getting into the house in a Northeast Ohio February.
- Drip edge along every edge, lapped so water drops into the gutter instead of behind it.
- Starter strip at the eaves and rakes so the first course seals and resists wind.
- Ridge vent along the peak so hot, moist attic air has a way out.
- Architectural shingles, the thicker laminated kind, not 3-tab. The architectural vs 3-tab shingles page explains the difference.
- Dumpster on site for the tear-off debris.
- Magnet sweep of the yard for nails, around the house, the driveway and the beds.
- Full cleanup, so the yard looks the way it did before the install.
What is not on the list is also worth knowing. Guttrz does not do overlays. A roof that already has two layers of shingles must come off anyway under the residential code Ohio uses, and a roof with one layer is still better torn off so the deck can be seen. The roof overlay vs tear-off page goes through the trade-offs.
How does a roof replacement in North Canton, OH work?
A roof replacement with Guttrz runs in five steps, from a free inspection to the photos of the finished roof. The owner handles the inspection, the report and the quote himself, so the person who looked at your roof is the person who priced it.
- Free inspection by the owner, with photos. He walks or ladders the roof, checks the attic side where he can, and photographs what he finds. The free roof inspection page explains what gets checked.
- Written photo report with a Good, Watch or Replace Soon rating. You see the same photos he saw. If the roof is Good, the report says so and that is the end of it.
- One flat written quote, good for one year. One number for the whole job, with the included list above spelled out. No sign-today discount, no second price if you call back in a month.
- Scheduled install. Most homes are done in one day. Weather can move the date, and you will hear about it before the dumpster shows up.
- Final walk-through, magnet sweep, photos of the finished roof. You get the photos the same day so you can see the ridge, the valleys and the flashing without climbing a ladder.
Gutters and gutter guards can go on the same week, which is covered next. For what the day itself looks like, read roof replacement day: what to expect.
Can you replace the roof and the gutters the same week?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. Tearing off a roof exposes the fascia and the gutter hangers, so sagging or spike-hung gutters can come down and new seamless gutters can go up right after the drip edge is on. The new drip edge laps into the new gutter, which is how the two are meant to meet. Guards go on last, on gutters that are already clean and sloped.
Doing it as one job also means one dumpster, one set of ladders in the beds, and one company to call if anything leaks. Guttrz already installs seamless gutters in Canton and gutter guards in Canton, so the roof is the new part, not the gutters. If your gutters are fine and just full, a gutter cleaning with the roof inspection is enough; the inspection is free with any cleaning. The roof and gutter replacement page covers how the bundle is scheduled and quoted, and new gutters with a new roof explains when old gutters can stay.

Looking for a roofer near me in North Canton?
If you searched for a roofer near me in North Canton, here is what you should expect from a local company versus a truck that shows up after a storm. A local roofer has an address you can drive to, answers the phone in a year when a shingle lifts, and quotes the roof you have instead of the roof an adjuster will pay for. Guttrz is based on Doncaster Street in North Canton and serves Stark, Summit and Medina counties, including Canton, Jackson Township, Green, Hartville and Uniontown.
Guttrz is new to roofing and says so. It installs gutters and gutter guards in Stark County and is bringing the same way of working to roofs: owner inspection, photo report, one written price, no pressure. If a roofer says the price only holds if you sign tonight, or offers to cover your deductible, read local roofer vs storm chaser and the questions to ask before signing a roofing contract first.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most average homes in Stark County are replaced in one day, and a large or steep roof can take two. From first call to finished roof, the inspection and report usually come first, the quote follows, and the install is scheduled when you say go. Weather is the variable: shingles should not go on in rain, and the sealant strips need warm sun to bond, so many installs avoid days below about 40 degrees.
On install day, expect the dumpster early, tear-off through the morning, underlayment and ice and water shield as each section is stripped so the deck is never left open, shingles through the afternoon, and the walk-through and magnet sweep before the dumpster leaves. Soft plywood adds time and is priced per sheet on the quote. For when in the year to schedule, read the best time to replace a roof in Ohio.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in North Canton?
Yes, a permit is required for a roof replacement in North Canton. Permits in the city are issued by the Development Services Department, Building and Permits Division, on the top floor of City Hall at 145 North Main Street, phone 330-499-8223, option 7. Applications go through the city's online OpenGov portal or in person. Guttrz pulls the permit where one is required, so you do not have to. Homes in Jackson Township, Plain Township and the other unincorporated parts of Stark County go through the county building department instead, and Canton and Green have their own offices, which the Canton and Green roofing pages cover.
A permit also leaves a record for the next owner. A roofer who suggests skipping it to save a few dollars is telling you something.
What does Roofing by Guttrz not do?

Questions
When does Guttrz start replacing roofs?
Installs start in spring 2027. Free roof inspections are open now, so you can get the photo report and the written quote this fall or winter and hold a spot on the spring calendar. The quote is good for one year, so there is no reason to decide before you are ready.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The owner comes out, photographs the roof, and sends a written report with a Good, Watch or Replace Soon rating at no charge. It is also free with any gutter cleaning, which is a good way to get both done in one visit. A Good rating ends there with no sales call.
Can you put new shingles over my old ones?
No. Guttrz only does full tear-offs. Shingling over an old layer hides soft plywood, traps heat that shortens the new shingles' life, and makes the next replacement cost more because two layers come off. A roof that already carries two layers has to be torn off under the residential code Ohio uses.
What warranty comes with a Guttrz roof?
You get a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, terms on your quote. Both are spelled out in writing before you sign, not explained after. Keep the quote with your house papers because the next owner will want it.
Do you handle insurance claims or storm damage?
No. Guttrz does not do storm or insurance work, does not meet with adjusters, and does not offer to cover deductibles. If hail or wind damaged your roof, you can still book the free inspection to get an honest photo report, but the claim itself is between you and your insurer.
Can a roof be replaced in winter in Ohio?
Shingles can be installed in cold weather, but the sealant strips that bond each course need warm sun to set, and many installers stop below about 40 degrees. In Northeast Ohio that makes late March through November the practical season. Guttrz schedules installs from spring 2027, and the inspection and quote can happen any time of year.
How do I know if my roof needs replacing or just a repair?
Look for curling or missing shingles, bare spots where the granules have washed off, dark streaks, daylight or stains in the attic, and a roof past 20 years in this climate. One or two problem spots on a young roof point to a repair. Wear across the whole roof points to replacement. The free inspection report rates it Good, Watch or Replace Soon so you are not guessing.
