What kinds of roofs are on North Canton homes?
North Canton homes fall into three rough groups by age, and each group tends to carry a different roof. The median North Canton home dates to about 1971, so the middle group is the biggest.
Houses from the 1920s to the 1940s near Main and Maple
The streets closest to the old village center, around North Main Street, West Maple Street, Portage Street NW and Pittsburg Avenue NW, have the oldest houses in the city. Many are bungalows, Cape Cods and small two-story homes with steep roofs, often 8/12 to 12/12, and dormers. Steep roofs need more safety setup and more labor per square, and they are the roofs most likely to already carry two layers of shingles.
Ranches and split-levels from the 1950s to the 1980s
This is most of North Canton. Streets such as Applegrove Street NW, where the typical house went up around 1968, are lined with brick and frame ranches and split-levels. Their roofs are long, low gables or hips, usually 4/12 to 6/12, that a person can walk. A ranch roof is big for the size of the house, often 20 to 28 squares, because the whole footprint sits under one low roof.
Two-story homes from the 1990s onward
Newer colonials and two-story homes have taller walls, 6/12 to 9/12 pitches, and valleys where a garage or a front gable meets the main roof. Valleys are where ice and water shield matters most. Many of these roofs are now 25 to 30 years old, the end of the typical service life for the shingles they were built with.
Who issues roofing permits in North Canton?
North Canton is a city with its own building department, so the permit does not come from Stark County. Roofing permits in North Canton are issued by the City of North Canton Development Services Department at City Hall, 145 North Main Street, and applications go through the city's online permit portal. Guttrz pulls the permit where one is required and the cost is part of your flat quote.
What does a roof replacement in North Canton include?
Every Guttrz roof replacement is a full tear-off, not an overlay. The old shingles come off down to the deck, then synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, new drip edge, starter strip, architectural shingles and a ridge vent go on. A dumpster is on site and the yard gets a magnet sweep for nails before the job is called done. The complete list and the five-step process are on the roofing hub, and our overlay vs tear-off page explains why.
How much does a new roof cost in North Canton, Ohio?
The price depends mostly on the size of the roof in squares, and a square is 100 square feet. Three common North Canton sizes:
| North Canton house | Roof size | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Small ranch | 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| Average ranch, split-level or colonial | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Large or steep home | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
Steep pitch, a second layer to tear off, and rotten decking push a house toward the top of its range. The quote is flat, written, and good for one year, so a fall inspection holds its price for a spring install. The full breakdown is on our roof replacement cost page.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The owner walks the roof, photographs the shingles, flashing, valleys, vents and gutters, and sends you a written report that rates the roof Good, Watch or Replace Soon. A Good or Watch rating means you keep your money. There is no sales visit and no price that expires at the end of the day. Details are on the free roof inspection page.
Can the roof and the gutters be done the same week?
On an older North Canton house it is usually the right order. Tearing off a roof exposes the fascia and the drip edge, so it is the natural time to swap out spike-hung gutters that have been loosening for decades. New seamless gutters go on right after the roof, then the guards. See seamless gutters in North Canton, gutter guards in North Canton and gutter cleaning in North Canton, or read how a roof and gutter replacement is scheduled together.
Why choose a roofing company based in North Canton, Ohio?
A roofer based in your town has to live with the roof he puts on. Guttrz is a short drive from every street in the city, from Dogwood Park to Washington Square, so a question after the first hard rain gets answered in person. We do not do storm chasing, insurance work or sign-today discounts, and our local roofer vs storm chaser page lays out the difference. Beyond North Canton we also replace roofs in Jackson Township, Canton, Green, Plain Township, Hartville and Uniontown.

Questions
Can you put new shingles over my old roof in North Canton instead of tearing it off?
No. Guttrz does full tear-offs only. The Residential Code of Ohio allows at most two layers of asphalt shingles, so a house that already has two layers must be stripped anyway. Even on a one-layer roof, tearing off lets us see and fix soft decking, which an overlay hides.
How long does a roof replacement take on a North Canton ranch?
Most North Canton homes are done in one day. A low, walkable ranch roof of 20 to 28 squares is the fastest kind of roof to replace. A steep two-layer roof near downtown or a large two-story can run into a second day, and rain can push the schedule.
Can you replace a roof in North Canton in the winter?
Shingles can be installed in cold weather, but the sealant strips need warm sun to bond, so we avoid installing below about 40 degrees. That is why Roofing by Guttrz is booking replacements for spring 2027. Inspections happen year round, and a fall inspection gets you a quote that is still good when the weather turns.
Does Guttrz do roof repairs or storm damage work in North Canton?
No. Roofing by Guttrz does asphalt shingle roof replacements, roof repairs and free inspections. We do not do flat roofs, metal roofs, or insurance claim work. If your inspection comes back Good or Watch, we will tell you that and you can keep your current roof.
What warranty comes with a new roof from Guttrz?
You get a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, with the terms spelled out on your quote. Both are in writing before you sign anything. The quote itself is good for one year.
