Roof Replacement in North Canton, Ohio

What kinds of roofs are on North Canton houses?

The town was laid out in 1831 as New Berlin and took the name North Canton in 1918. It grew up around the Hoover Company and became a city in 1962. That history left three groups of houses, each with its own kind of roof. The median house here was built about 1971, so the middle group is the largest.

Prewar houses near Main and Maple

The oldest blocks sit close to Main Street and Maple Street and date from the 1920s to the 1940s. Their roofs are steep, cut up by dormers and brick chimneys, and some hide an earlier layer of shingles. Read about roofs in the older core near Main and Maple.

Ranches and split-levels, 1950s to 1980s

Most of the city went up in these decades. Around Applegrove Street the typical house dates to about 1968. These roofs are long, low and easy to walk, and there is a lot of them. See mid-century ranch roofs in North Canton.

Two-story homes from the 1990s

Newer streets on the edges of town have taller houses with valleys where the garage meets the main roof. Many are still on their first shingles, now about 30 years old. See roofs in the 1990s subdivisions.

Some houses with North Canton mail sit in Plain, Jackson or Lake Township. The roof is the same but the permit office is not, as the page on township addresses with 44720 mail explains.

What is included in a North Canton roof replacement?

Every replacement quoted through this site is a full tear-off with the same scope.

• Full tear-off of the old shingles, down to the wood deck.
• Synthetic underlayment across the whole deck.
• Ice and water shield along the eaves and in the valleys.
• New metal drip edge.
• Starter strip under the first course.
• Ridge vent along the peak.
• Architectural shingles, in a color you pick with the owner.
• A dumpster on site, a magnet sweep of the yard for nails, and full cleanup.

Asphalt shingles are the only roofing offered. You can read about the architectural shingles that go on and about doing the roof edge and gutters in the same week.

How is a new roof priced?

By the roof, not by a sales script. The owner measures your roof in squares, notes the pitch, counts the layers and checks the deck where he can reach it. Then you get one flat written quote, good for a year. The page on roof replacement cost in North Canton explains what moves the number and gives a labeled market range for Northeast Ohio.

Who issues roofing permits in North Canton?

North Canton runs its own building office, so a city address does not go to the county. Permits come from the Development Services Department, Building and Permits Division, at City Hall, and applications go through the city's online portal. The step-by-step version is in our post on roof permit steps at North Canton City Hall.
