Roof Replacement Hudson, OH
Every Hudson roof gets the same three things: the owner inspects it himself, you get a photo report the same day, and one written price holds for a year.
Roof replacement in Hudson, OH from Roofing by Guttrz starts spring 2027, with free roof inspections now. The owner climbs every Hudson roof himself, sends the photo report that same day with a Good, Watch or Replace Soon rating, and writes one price good for a year. Hudson's large 1990s colonials and steep village homes often run 30 to 40 squares and commonly cost $15,000 to $24,000 to replace, while an average 20 to 30 square home runs $10,000 to $16,000. Homes in the Hudson Historic District need a certificate of appropriateness from the Architectural and Historic Board of Review before shingles change. Guttrz repairs roofs too, and can hang new gutters and guards that same week.
Roof replacement in Hudson, OH covers a wider spread of houses than anywhere else Guttrz works, from Greek Revival homes near the village green that were standing before the Civil War to colonials from the 1990s that are now on their first replacement. Roofing by Guttrz, based in North Canton, starts asphalt shingle roof replacements in spring 2027 and does free roof inspections now. The Roofing by Guttrz hub lists the full scope and the five steps.
What kinds of roofs does roof replacement in Hudson, OH involve?
The median Hudson home dates to about 1982, but that median hides three very different roofs.
Historic District homes around the green
The Hudson Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1973 and expanded in 1989, is roughly bounded by College, Streetsboro, South Main and Baldwin streets. Its Greek Revival and Victorian homes carry steep main gables, often 10/12 or more, with wings and porches at lower pitches. Steep pitch means roof jacks, harnesses and slower work per square, and plank decking this old often has a few soft boards at the eaves, replaced by the board on your quote.
1960s to 1980s homes on wooded township lots
Before the village and Hudson Township merged in 1994, the township filled with subdivisions cut into the woods. Western Reserve Estates holds four and five bedroom homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s, with 6/12 to 8/12 gables and hips of 25 to 35 squares. The oaks and maples saved when the lots were cleared now stand over the roofs, so north slopes stay damp and grow moss while leaves pack the valleys every fall.
1990s and 2000s colonials in Crown Point and the newer streets
Crown Point's colonials went up mostly in the 1990s, and they are big roofs, 30 to 40 squares, with several front gables, long valleys and 8/12 or steeper pitches. The newest roofs in town, such as the townhomes at Preserve of Hudson off Darrow Road, should rate Good at inspection, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a roof.
Who issues roofing permits in Hudson?
The City of Hudson Community Development department at 1140 Terex Road issues zoning permits for exterior work, and a like-for-like asphalt reroof outside the Historic District may need no city zoning permit at all. Building permits for Hudson homes come from the Summit County Department of Building Standards at 1030 East Tallmadge Avenue in Akron. When the city or the county requires a permit, Guttrz files it and the fee shows on your written price.
Does the Historic District review a new roof in Hudson?
Yes, if your house is inside the Hudson Historic District or is a designated historic landmark. The city's Historic District application lists roof shingle replacement among covered projects, and the Architectural and Historic Board of Review issues a certificate of appropriateness that can steer shingle style and color. Your inspection report names the shingle line and color so you can submit it, and a spring install date leaves time for a meeting.
What does a Guttrz roof replacement in Hudson include?
Full tear-off of the old shingles, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and in every valley, new drip edge, starter strip, ridge vent and architectural shingles, plus the dumpster, a magnet sweep of the yard for nails and a full cleanup. On a steep village roof the shield at the eaves matters most, because Hudson sits closer to the snow belt than Canton and ice dams form where the long cold slope meets the gutter. In writing, a Hudson roof carries a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, terms on your quote.
How much does a new roof cost in Hudson?
Roofs are priced by the square, 100 square feet, with pitch and complexity added on top. Large houses and steep pitches put most Hudson homes in the top two rows.
| Hudson home | Roof size | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch on a township lot | 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| 1960s to 1980s two-story, Western Reserve Estates | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Steep village home or 1990s colonial, Crown Point | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
Pitch above 8/12, plank decking and a second layer push a house up inside its range. What moves the number is on the roof replacement cost page. Your price is one written figure good for one year, with no sign-today discount.
Why start with a free roof inspection on a Hudson roof?
Because you cannot see a 10/12 slope or an upper valley from the lawn. The owner climbs the roof, photographs every slope, the valleys, the flashing and chimneys, and the attic side where he can reach it, and sends the report the same day, rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. The free roof inspection page shows a sample report. If the trouble is one chimney flashing or a cracked vent boot, Guttrz repairs it at a fixed written price before any work starts, and the roof repair page explains how.
Can the roof and the gutters go on the same week in Hudson?
Yes, when the house has hanging gutters. The new drip edge laps into the gutter, so tear-off week is the natural time to replace sagging runs with seamless gutters in Hudson, then add gutter guards in Hudson to keep the oak leaves out, or book a gutter cleaning in Hudson if the gutters are staying.
From Hudson, Guttrz also replaces roofs next door in Munroe Falls and Stow, and in Twinsburg, Boston Heights, Peninsula and Cuyahoga Falls.

Questions
My house is in the Hudson Historic District. Can I still put on asphalt shingles?
Many district homes already carry asphalt shingles, and the Architectural and Historic Board of Review reviews the shingle you propose against the city's Architectural Design Standards rather than banning a material outright. A like-for-like replacement in a similar color is the easiest case to present. The inspection photos and the shingle name on your quote are what the application asks for.
How much time does the historic review add to a Hudson roof replacement?
The board meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, and the zoning certificate is issued within one to two business days after approval, so plan on two to four weeks from a complete application. Guttrz quotes are good for one year, so a review that runs long does not change your price. Start the application as soon as the report comes back.
Do you replace slate or wood shake roofs in Hudson?
No. Roofing by Guttrz does asphalt shingle roof replacements, roof repairs and free inspections, with no slate, wood, metal or flat roofs. If the inspection finds a slate roof that should stay slate, the report will say so and you can take the photos to a slate specialist.
Why does my 1990s Hudson colonial leak where the garage roof meets the house?
That joint is a valley or a step flashing line, and it is the first place water finds a gap as the sealant and flashing age. It also holds ice longest in winter under Hudson's tree cover. On a Guttrz roof, ice and water shield runs through every valley and the step flashing is replaced during the tear-off.
Will a new roof stop the ice dams on my wooded Hudson lot?
It keeps the water out, but it does not stop the dam. Ice and water shield at the eaves, standard on every Guttrz roof, blocks meltwater that backs up behind the ice. The dam itself comes from attic heat melting snow on a shaded roof, so the inspection report also notes the insulation and ventilation problems the owner can see from the roof and attic.
