Roof Replacement Stow, OH
Roofing by Guttrz comes to Stow from North Canton with one way of working: the owner inspects, you get a photo report, and one flat written quote holds for a year. Asphalt shingle roof replacements begin spring 2027.
Roofing by Guttrz replaces asphalt shingle roofs in Stow, Ohio, starting spring 2027, with full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, drip edge, ridge vent and architectural shingles. The owner inspects your roof for free, sends a photo report rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon, and writes one flat quote good for one year. Stow's housing is mostly 1960s to 1990s, so planning ranges run about $7,500 to $10,500 for a small ranch, $10,000 to $16,000 for a split-level or average colonial, and $15,000 to $24,000 for a large or steep roof. New gutters and guards can go on the same week.
What does roof replacement in Stow, OH usually involve?
Roof replacement in Stow, OH is usually a second or third roof on a house built between 1960 and 1999. Stow became a village in 1957 and a city after the 1960 census, then grew from about 12,200 people in 1960 to 19,800 in 1970 and 27,700 in 1990. The median Stow home was built in 1979, and each decade left its own roof shape behind.
1960s ranches and split-levels on Call Road, Stow Road and Lynnwood Drive
The first wave of streets filled in during the 1960s. Ranches on Call Road and Stow Road date to 1963 to 1965, Lynnwood Drive and Willowdale Drive to the early 1960s, the Oak Tree subdivision off Oak Road to 1962, and Country Club Lane to the late 1960s. These are brick-front ranches and split-levels with low 4/12 to 5/12 gables and hips you can walk. A ranch roof is large for the size of the house, often 18 to 26 squares, and some still carry two layers that have to come off. The overlay vs tear-off page covers why a second layer never goes on a Guttrz roof.
1970s and 1980s homes on Apollo Drive, Algonquin Trail and in Partridge Highlands
Stow added about 5,500 people in the 1970s. Apollo Drive, Algonquin Trail and Norton Road date from the middle of that decade, and Partridge Highlands, around Stockbridge Drive, went up in the early 1980s. These are bi-levels, bigger split-levels and early two-story homes with 5/12 to 7/12 pitches, attached garages and a valley or two where the garage roof meets the house. Their original shingles are long gone, and the 3-tab replacements from the late 1990s and 2000s are at the end of a 15 to 20 year life.
1990s colonials in Quail Highlands and Eastwicke Farms
Quail Highlands dates to about 1990 and Eastwicke Farms, off Eastwicke Boulevard, to the mid 1990s and early 2000s. These are two-story colonials with 7/12 to 9/12 main gables, front gables over the garage and entry, and 26 to 34 squares of roof. Many are still wearing their first shingles, and at 25 to 35 years old that is exactly where a builder-grade architectural roof fails.
Shade and snow
Stow has been a Tree City USA community for more than forty years, and on the older streets its maples and oaks hang over north slopes, hold moisture and grow moss. Stow also sits in Northeast Ohio's secondary snowbelt, so eaves and valleys carry ice longer than they do in Canton. Our post on ice dams on Ohio roofs explains what that does to an eave.
Does Stow require a permit to replace a roof?
Permits in Stow come from the City of Stow Building Department at 3760 Darrow Road, which handles permits, inspection requests and contractor registrations through its online permit portal and offers same-day inspections, and a full re-roof needs a building permit while a small shingle repair does not. Guttrz pulls the permit where one is required, and the fee is its own line on your quote. A permit on file is one way to tell a local roofer from a storm chaser.
What is included in a Guttrz roof replacement in Stow?
The old shingles come off down to the deck. Then synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and in the valleys, new drip edge, starter strip, architectural shingles and a ridge vent go on. A dumpster sits in the driveway and the lawn gets a magnet sweep for nails. The five steps from inspection to walk-through are on the Roofing by Guttrz hub. You get a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, terms on your quote.
How much does a new roof cost in Stow, Ohio?
Roofs are priced by the square, 100 square feet of roof, and pitch, layers and decking repairs move a house inside its range.
| Stow home | Roof size | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s ranch on Call Road or Stow Road | About 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| Split-level or bi-level, Partridge Highlands or Apollo Drive | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Two-story colonial, Quail Highlands or Eastwicke Farms | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
Your quote is one flat written number good for one year, and there is no price that drops if you sign at the door. How squares, pitch and layers set the number is on the roof replacement cost page.
Is the roof inspection in Stow free?
Yes, and free with any gutter cleaning. The owner climbs up, photographs each slope, the valleys, the flashing, the pipe boots and the ridge, and sends a written report rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. On a Quail Highlands colonial still wearing its first roof, that report tells you whether you are planning for next spring or for five springs from now. What the owner checks and how to read the rating is on the free roof inspection page.
Can Stow homeowners get the roof and gutters done the same week?
Yes, from one company. Spike-hung gutters on a 1960s ranch and undersized builder gutters on a 1990s colonial both come off cleanly during a tear-off, and the new drip edge laps into the new gutter. Guttrz installs seamless gutters after the shingles and gutter guards after the gutters. If your gutters are staying, a gutter cleaning clears them before the new roof sheds its first storm.
From Stow, Guttrz also replaces roofs in Munroe Falls, Silver Lake, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson and south through Akron to Green.

Questions
My Stow split-level has two layers of shingles. Does that change the price?
Yes, a little. Ohio's residential code allows at most two layers of asphalt shingles, so a two-layer roof has to be stripped to the deck no matter who does it. Two layers mean more weight in the dumpster and more labor on tear-off day, and the quote shows that as its own line. Every Guttrz roof is a full tear-off anyway, so the shingles that go on sit on bare deck and new underlayment.
Why does the north side of my Stow roof grow moss?
Shade and moisture. Stow's older streets are heavy with mature maples and oaks, and a north slope under them stays damp for days after rain or snow. Moss holds water against the shingles and lifts the edges over time. The inspection report notes moss, what is under it, and whether the shingles beneath still have life in them.
Do you replace roofs in Munroe Falls and Silver Lake too?
Yes. Both were carved out of the original Stow Township and share the same 1950s to 1970s housing and the same tree cover. A Munroe Falls or Silver Lake roof gets the same free inspection, photo report and flat quote as one in Stow. Munroe Falls and Silver Lake each issue their own permits, and the inspection report will say which office applies.
How long does a roof replacement take on a Stow home?
Most homes are done in one day. A walkable 1960s ranch is the quickest kind of roof to replace. A two-story colonial in Eastwicke Farms with several front gables and valleys can run into a second day, and rain or wind can push the schedule. The plan for your house is in writing before the dumpster arrives.
Can I book a Stow roof for spring 2027 now and hold the price?
Yes. Get the free inspection this fall or winter, and if the report says Replace Soon you get one flat written quote good for one year. The number does not change between now and your spring install date, and there is no discount for signing on the spot. Early booking gets you a spring slot before the summer storm season.
