Roof Replacement Uniontown, OH
Roofing by Guttrz works in Uniontown the same way on every job: the owner inspects the roof himself, sends a photo report the same day, and writes one price good for a year.
Roofing by Guttrz replaces asphalt shingle roofs in Uniontown, Ohio, starting spring 2027, with free roof inspections available now. Most Uniontown houses date to the 1970s and 1980s and are on their second roof, and the owner inspects each one himself, sends a photo report the same day and writes one price good for a year. A full tear-off and new architectural shingle roof commonly runs $10,000 to $16,000 for an average 20 to 30 square Uniontown home, with small ranches from $7,500 and large or steep homes up to $24,000. Guttrz also repairs roofs and can put new gutters and guards on the same week.
Roof replacement in Uniontown, OH is mostly a 1970s and 1980s story. Uniontown is an unincorporated community in the northwest corner of Lake Township, and most of its houses went up as the township grew by roughly 9,000 people between 1970 and 1990. Those houses are on their second roof now, and the second roof is wearing out. Roofing by Guttrz is about 15 minutes south on Cleveland Avenue in North Canton, with asphalt shingle roof replacements starting spring 2027. Everything a job includes is on the Roofing by Guttrz hub.
Which Uniontown houses are due for a new roof?
The median house in Uniontown dates to about 1978, and on streets such as Jamestown Avenue NW the typical home is from 1974.
Ranches and split-levels off Cleveland Avenue and Edison Street
The 1970s streets on both sides of Cleveland Avenue, north and south of Edison Street, are ranches and split-levels with 4/12 to 5/12 gables and hips, 20 to 28 squares with the garage. A house built in 1975 got its second roof in the late 1990s or early 2000s, and if that roof was 3-tab it is past its 15 to 20 year service life now. Many of these houses also gained a sunroom, porch or family room later, and the joint where the addition roof meets the original wall is where the first leak usually shows.
Two-story colonials from the 1980s and 1990s
As the township filled in, builders switched to two-story colonials and traditionals. These carry 6/12 to 8/12 main gables with a lower garage gable and one or two valleys, 25 to 32 squares. The ones built in the 1990s are still on their first shingles.
Newer homes toward Mogadore Avenue
OldeStone Crossing, along Ledgestone Drive NW near Mogadore Avenue, is into its fourth phase. Roofs that young should come back with a Good rating, and if yours does, the report says so and you keep your money.
Trees, shade and the county line
Yard trees planted in the 1970s now stand over the ridge. Oak and maple leaves hold moisture on north slopes, and pine rows near Uniontown Community Park drop needles that mat in valleys. One more local wrinkle: the 44685 ZIP crosses the county line, so a house with a Uniontown mailing address may sit in Green in Summit County. The price is the same either way, but the permit office is not.
Who issues roofing permits in Uniontown?
Uniontown has never incorporated, so there is no Uniontown building department. The Lake Township zoning office at 12360 Market Avenue N in Hartville handles zoning only, and building permits for the Stark County side of Uniontown come from the Stark County Building Inspection Department at 7235 Whipple Avenue NW in Canton. A Uniontown address inside the city of Green is permitted through the City of Green and the Summit County Department of Building Standards instead. Where the county requires a permit, Guttrz files it and lists the fee on your written price.
What does a Uniontown roof replacement include?
A full tear-off down to the deck, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and in every valley, new drip edge, starter strip, architectural shingles and a ridge vent, plus the dumpster, a magnet sweep and cleanup. On a Uniontown ranch with an addition, the step flashing where the sunroom roof meets the house wall is replaced during the tear-off. The five steps from inspection to final photos are on the roofing hub, and if your roof is still 3-tab, the architectural vs 3-tab page shows what changes. Every Uniontown job comes with a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, terms on your quote.
How much does roof replacement in Uniontown, OH cost?
Roofs are priced by the square, 100 square feet, and most Uniontown homes land in the first two rows.
| Uniontown home | Roof size | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| Small 1970s ranch | 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| Ranch with addition, split-level or 1980s colonial | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Large or steep two-story | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
A ranch with a sunroom adds a few squares and a flashing line, not a new price tier. Your number is one written price good for a year, with no sign-today discount. What moves a roof inside its range is on the roof replacement cost page.
Is a free roof inspection worth it on a 1970s house?
Yes, because the second roof on a 1970s house may have been laid over the first. The owner walks every slope, photographs the shingles, valleys, flashing and vent boots, checks the eaves for a second layer, and sends a photo report the same day rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. The free roof inspection page explains each rating. If the only trouble is the sunroom flashing or a handful of shingles, we fix that instead, and the roof repair page explains how a repair is priced.
Should the gutters be replaced with the roof?
On a 1970s Uniontown house, usually. The original gutters are spike-hung aluminum, 40 to 50 years old, often with a sectional addition gutter spliced in, and the new drip edge laps straight into them. New seamless gutters in Uniontown go on after the shingles, gutter guards in Uniontown go on after the gutters, and a gutter cleaning in Uniontown is the answer if the old gutters are staying. The roof and gutter replacement page shows how the week is sequenced.
From Uniontown, Guttrz also replaces roofs in Hartville, Greentown, Green and North Canton.

Questions
My Uniontown address is in Summit County. Does that change the roof quote?
Not the price. The 44685 ZIP code reaches into the city of Green, and Guttrz replaces roofs on both sides of the line at the same planning ranges. What changes is the permit office, since a Green address is permitted through the City of Green and Summit County rather than Stark County. The inspection report tells you which applies to your house.
Does the sunroom or porch roof get replaced with the main roof?
If it is shingled, yes, and the flashing where it meets the house wall is replaced at the same time. If the addition has a flat or nearly flat rubber roof, that section is outside what Roofing by Guttrz does, and the report will say so. Shingles need enough pitch to shed water, so a very low addition roof needs a different material and a different installer.
Can you shingle over the existing roof on my Uniontown ranch?
No. Every Guttrz roof is a full tear-off. Ohio's residential code allows no more than two layers of asphalt shingles, and a 1970s house that was re-roofed once may already be at that limit. Tearing off also uncovers soft decking at the eaves and around the addition, which an overlay would seal in.
How long does a roof replacement take on a Uniontown ranch?
A Uniontown ranch is usually a one-day job. A low, walkable roof of 20 to 28 squares is the quickest there is to replace, even with a sunroom tie-in. A two-story colonial with valleys or a house with two layers can run into a second day, and rain pushes the schedule.
When should I book if I want a new roof in 2027?
Get the free inspection now. Installs begin in spring 2027 once daytime temperatures hold above about 40 degrees so the shingle sealant can bond, and spring dates go first. A quote written this fall or winter holds its price for one year, so booking early costs nothing extra and gets you ahead of the summer storm season.
