Roof replacement in Jackson Township, Ohio from Roofing by Guttrz starts spring 2027, with free roof inspections available now. The owner inspects the roof himself, sends a photo report with a Good, Watch or Replace Soon rating, and gives one flat written quote good for one year. Jackson's many large two-story 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. Guttrz is based in North Canton and can put new gutters and guards on the same week as the roof.
Roof replacement in Jackson Township is a bigger job than in most of Stark County, because the houses are bigger. Jackson grew fastest after 1970, and its two-story homes carry more roof, more valleys and steeper pitches than the ranches in older towns. Guttrz is based in North Canton, a few minutes east on Portage Street, and starts replacing asphalt shingle roofs in spring 2027. The complete scope and process are on the Roofing by Guttrz hub.
What kinds of roofs does Jackson Township have?
Jackson Township was formed in 1815, but almost all of its housing is modern. About 4,500 homes here were built before 1970, roughly a quarter of the housing stock, against more than half countywide. The rest went up after Belden Village Mall opened at Everhard Road and Whipple Avenue in 1970.
1970s and 1980s homes around Lake Cable and Belden Village
The neighborhoods around Lake Cable, where the typical home dates to about 1984, and the streets east toward Whipple Avenue hold ranches, split-levels and early two-story homes. Pitches run 4/12 to 6/12, with a lot of hip roofs. Many of these roofs have already been replaced once, and some carry a second layer over the original shingles.
1990s and 2000s two-story homes in Nobles Pond and Glenmoor
This is the roof Jackson is known for. Homes in Nobles Pond date from the early 1990s to the 2010s, and Glenmoor's gated streets hold homes from the late 1990s to today. These houses have 8/12 to 10/12 pitches, several front gables, long valleys, and 30 to 40 squares of shingles. Steep pitch means roof jacks, harnesses and slower work per square. The first shingles on a 1995 house are now past 30 years old.
New construction on the north side
Builders are still active in Jackson, with communities like Aberdeen Oaks, Heritage Park and Julian Farm going up. Those roofs are young and should pass a free inspection with a Good rating, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a roof.
1920s homes in Hills and Dales
The village of Hills and Dales is its own municipality inside Jackson's borders, with Tudor and Colonial homes on wooded acre lots. Steep slopes, multiple dormers and heavy oak shade make them the most involved shingle replacements in the area.
Who issues roofing permits in Jackson Township?
Jackson is a township, so it has no building department of its own. Roofing permits in Jackson Township are issued by the Stark County Building Inspection Department at 7235 Whipple Avenue NW in Canton, which covers the unincorporated areas of the county; the township zoning office on Wales Avenue handles zoning only. Hills and Dales also contracts with the county for building permits. Guttrz pulls the permit where one is required.
What does a Jackson Township roof replacement include?
A full tear-off down to the deck, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in the eaves and every valley, new drip edge, starter strip, architectural shingles, a ridge vent, a dumpster on site, a magnet sweep of the lawn and a full cleanup. On a Jackson two-story with four or five valleys, the shield in those valleys is the most important detail, because valleys carry water from two slopes and are where ice dams start. The complete list is on the roofing hub, and the architectural vs 3-tab page explains why.
How much does roof replacement in Jackson Township cost?
Price follows the size of the roof in squares, with pitch and layers moving a house within its range. A square is 100 square feet of roof.
| Jackson Township house | Roof size | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Small ranch | 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| 1970s or 1980s ranch, split-level or modest two-story | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Large or steep two-story in Nobles Pond, Glenmoor or Lake Cable | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
More Jackson homes land in the top row than in most towns we serve. The roof replacement cost page walks through squares, pitch, layers and decking, and our post on roof cost per square in Stark County gives the per-square math. Your Guttrz quote is one flat written number, good for one year.
Does the roof inspection cost anything?
No. The owner photographs each slope, the valleys, the flashing and the gutters, and sends a written report rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. On a tall Jackson two-story this matters more than on a ranch, because you cannot see the back slopes or the upper valleys from the ground. The free roof inspection page shows what the report covers.
Can new gutters and guards go on with the new roof?
Yes, in the same week, from the same company. Many Jackson homes send upper downspouts onto lower roofs and pipe the downspouts underground, so getting the drip edge, gutter slope and outlets right at roof time pays off for years. New roof first, then seamless gutters in Jackson Township, then gutter guards in Jackson Township, with a gutter cleaning in Jackson Township included at the end. Our roof and gutter replacement page shows how the week is scheduled.
Where else near Jackson Township do you replace roofs?
From North Canton we also replace roofs in North Canton, Canton, Massillon, Perry Township, Canal Fulton and Green, so a home anywhere along Portage Street, Fulton Drive or Wales Avenue is a short drive for a follow-up visit.

Questions
Is a steep two-story roof in Jackson Township more expensive to replace than a ranch?
Usually yes, for two reasons. A big two-story carries more squares, often 30 to 40, and anything over about 8/12 pitch needs safety setup and slower work. Both show up in the quote. A 20 square ranch next door can cost less than half as much even with the same shingle.
Do you replace roofs in Hills and Dales?
Yes. Hills and Dales is a separate village inside Jackson Township, and its 1920s homes have some of the steepest and most complicated roofs in Stark County. The owner inspects them the same way and quotes by the square. Permits there go through the Stark County Building Inspection Department.
Do I need a Jackson Township zoning permit as well as a building permit for a new roof?
Replacing shingles on an existing house is a building matter, not a zoning change, so the permit that applies comes from the Stark County Building Inspection Department. Guttrz handles the permit where one is required and the cost is part of your flat quote. You do not have to call either office.
How do you protect a wooded Jackson lot during a tear-off?
The dumpster goes on the driveway on protective boards, tarps cover the beds and shrubs under the eaves, and the old shingles are dropped straight into the dumpster rather than onto the lawn. After the install the whole yard gets a magnet sweep for nails. You get photos of the finished roof and the cleaned yard.
How long is a Jackson Township roof quote from Guttrz good for?
One year. You get one flat written price after the free inspection, and it does not change whether you book the next week or the next spring. There is no discount for signing on the spot and no pressure to decide at the door.
