Roof Replacement Wadsworth, OH
In Wadsworth the owner inspects every roof himself, texts a photo report the same day, and writes one price that stays good for a year.
Roofing by Guttrz replaces asphalt shingle roofs in Wadsworth, Ohio, starting spring 2027, and does free roof inspections now. The owner inspects each Wadsworth roof in person, sends a same-day photo report rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon, and writes one price good for a year. Planning ranges run from $7,500 to $10,500 for a small ranch and $10,000 to $16,000 for an average home to $15,000 to $24,000 for a large east-side colonial. Guttrz also repairs roofs and can replace gutters the same week.
Roof replacement in Wadsworth, OH means three different roofs in one small city: steep 1920s houses near downtown, low 1960s ranches off Trease Road, and big two-story colonials from the 2000s on the east side. Wadsworth grew from 18,437 people in 2000 to 24,007 in 2020, so a large share of its roofs are first-generation shingles wearing out together. Roofing by Guttrz comes over from North Canton, about 35 minutes away, and starts asphalt shingle roof replacements in spring 2027. The owner inspects every roof himself, the photo report arrives the same day, and you get one written price good for a year. The Roofing by Guttrz hub covers the full scope.
What roofs are on Wadsworth houses?
Grandview, Crestwood and the older blocks near downtown
About one Wadsworth home in eight was built before 1940. Houses on Grandview Avenue date to the late 1920s on average, and Crestwood Avenue in the Highland Park plats runs from the late 1920s into the 1950s. These are two-story frame and brick houses with steep main roofs, a front porch under its own shallow roof, and sometimes a dormer. Roofs this old sit on plank decking, and a board or two at the eaves is often soft after a century of ice. Soft boards are replaced and priced per board on your quote.
Match-factory houses around High and Broad streets
The Ohio Match Company made Blue Tip matches here from the 1890s until 1987, and the houses its workers bought still stand on the streets near downtown. The Downtown Wadsworth Historic District joined the National Register on August 19, 2024. Many have been reroofed over old shingles at least once.
Ranches and split-levels off Trease Road
Plats such as Westview Acres off Trease Road filled in around the mid 1960s. Their roofs are long and low, 4/12 to 5/12, with the attached garage under the same ridge, about 18 to 26 squares. Maples planted with the houses now shade the back slopes, and that is where moss starts.
Weatherstone, Briarthorn and the east side
Weatherstone went up in 2000 and 2001, and Briarthorn followed in the mid 2000s. These two-story colonials carry 7/12 to 9/12 main gables, a front gable or two, and valleys where the garage roof tucks into the house, often 28 to 38 squares. Builder-grade shingles from 2000 are 26 years old now. If yours are 3-tab, they are past due, and if they are architectural, they may still rate Watch.
Who issues roof permits in Wadsworth?
Since January 1, 2025, residential building permits, plan review and inspections for homes in the City of Wadsworth have gone through the Medina County Building Department on West Smith Road in Medina, while the city Planning and Zoning office at 120 Maple Street keeps zoning. Guttrz checks with the county before the dumpster comes, pulls the permit where a reroof needs one, and lists the fee on your written price.
What does a roof replacement in Wadsworth include?
Every layer comes off down to the deck. Then synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield along the eaves and through every valley, new drip edge, starter strip, architectural shingles and a ridge vent go on. A dumpster, a magnet sweep of the lawn for nails and a full cleanup are part of the price. On a 1920s Wadsworth house the porch roof meets the main wall along a line of step flashing, and that flashing is replaced rather than reused. Along with the roof you receive a manufacturer warranty on the shingles and a written Guttrz workmanship warranty, terms on your quote.
What does roof replacement in Wadsworth, OH cost?
Roofs are priced by the square. One square covers 100 square feet of roof surface, and pitch and tear-off layers move a house up or down inside its row.
| Wadsworth home | Roof size | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch off Trease Road | 15 to 20 squares | $7,500 to $10,500 |
| 1920s two-story near Grandview or Crestwood | 20 to 30 squares | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Colonial in Weatherstone or Briarthorn | 30 to 40 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 |
East-side colonials are bigger than they look from the street, and many land in the top row. Your number is a single written price that holds for one year, so a winter inspection locks in a spring install. Each factor is broken out on the roof replacement cost page.
Is a free roof inspection worth it before you replace?
It is the only way to know. The owner climbs the roof, photographs each slope, the valleys, chimney and wall flashing, pipe boots and the gutter edge, and texts you a report that same day rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. The free roof inspection page shows what each rating means. When a leak traces back to one cracked boot or a lifted ridge cap, Guttrz also repairs roofs at a fixed written price before any work starts, as the roof repair page explains.
Can new gutters go on with a Wadsworth roof?
Yes, the same week and from the same company. The new drip edge laps into the gutter, so a sagging or spike-hung run is best replaced right after the shingles with seamless gutters, and gutter guards can follow once the new gutters are up. If your gutters are staying, a gutter cleaning in Wadsworth clears them before the new roof sees its first heavy rain.
From Wadsworth, Guttrz also replaces roofs in Wadsworth Township, Sharon Center, Seville and Lodi, and north up State Route 57 in Medina.

Questions
My house is in Wadsworth Township, not the city. Is my roof covered?
Yes. The planning ranges are the same on either side of the city line. Township homes are permitted through the Medina County Building Department, which now also handles residential permits inside the city. The owner confirms which side your parcel sits on before the price is written.
My Weatherstone colonial was built in 2001. Should I replace the roof now?
Not automatically. A 3-tab roof from 2001 is past the 15 to 20 years those shingles usually last in Northeast Ohio, while an architectural roof the same age may have a few years left. Curled tabs, granules collecting in the gutters and stains on the attic side are the signs that count. A free inspection rates it Good, Watch or Replace Soon with photos.
Why does only the back slope of my Trease Road ranch grow moss?
Shade and damp. A maple planted when the house was new now blocks the sun from one slope, so dew and rain sit there longer and moss takes hold. A new roof clears the moss and the shingles it damaged, but trimming the limbs back is what keeps it from returning. The inspection photos show how far the moss has spread.
Will the historic district listing downtown limit my shingle choice?
The Downtown Wadsworth Historic District is a National Register listing, and a National Register listing alone does not usually require review of a private reroof. Ask the city Planning and Zoning office whether any local rule applies to your address. Your quote names the shingle line and color, so you have what any review would ask for.
How long does a roof replacement take in Wadsworth?
Most Wadsworth ranches and colonials take a single day once the dumpster is in place. A steep 1920s house with plank decking to patch, or a roof with two old layers, can run into a second day. Rain moves the date, and you get the schedule in writing before work starts.
