Why More Canton Homeowners Are Choosing Metal Roofs

Here’s the thing. Traditional shingles work, but they don’t always hold up well in Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams, wind damage, and heavy snow loads shorten their lifespan.

Metal roofing is different.

A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years. That’s two to three times longer than most asphalt roofs. It also sheds snow faster and resists wind better, which matters during Ohio winters and storm season.

Common reasons homeowners in Stark County switch to metal roofs:

• Long lifespan with low maintenance
• Strong resistance to wind and hail
• Better energy efficiency in hot summers and cold winters
• Fire-resistant roofing materials
• Eco-friendly and recyclable materials
• Clean, modern curb appeal

Many people assume metal roofs are noisy. Honestly, that’s one of the biggest myths. With modern underlayment and insulation, they’re no louder than shingles.

Our Metal Roofing Services in Canton, OH

We provide full-service metal roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties across Canton and nearby communities.

Metal Roof Installation

Building a new home or upgrading your current roof? We install complete metal roofing systems using materials like galvanized steel roofing, aluminum roofing panels, copper roofing systems, and stone-coated steel roofing.

We start with a roof deck inspection, precise measurements using laser measuring tools, and proper underlayment installation to protect your home from moisture and temperature shifts.

Metal Roof Replacement

If your current roof is failing, we handle full tear-off and roof removal before installing a new metal system. This process helps prevent hidden moisture issues and structural damage that many contractors overlook.

Most homeowners replace their roof after:

• Frequent leaks
• Missing shingles
• Storm damage
• Roof age over 20 years

A metal roof replacement can immediately increase durability and property value.

Metal Roof Repair

Not every roof needs full replacement. If your metal roof has loose panels, flashing damage, or small leaks, we provide targeted repairs including waterproof sealing, flashing repair, and panel adjustments.

We also repair storm-related damage across Stark County after heavy winds or hail.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing is one of the most popular choices in Canton. It features hidden fasteners, strong weather resistance, and a sleek look that works well on both homes and commercial buildings.

Benefits include:

• Superior wind resistance
• Minimal maintenance
• Long-term leak protection
• Thermal expansion accommodation for Ohio weather shifts

Corrugated & Metal Shingle Roofing

Prefer a more traditional look? Metal shingle roofing and corrugated metal panels offer durability with classic style. Many homeowners choose these options to match neighborhood aesthetics near areas like Sippo Lake Park or historic homes near the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum.

Built for Ohio Weather: Snow, Wind, and Storm Protection

Living in Canton means dealing with harsh winters and unpredictable storms. Your roofing system must handle:

• Heavy snow accumulation
• Ice dams
• Strong wind gusts
• Freezing rain
• Summer heat waves

Metal roofing performs exceptionally well in these conditions. Snow and ice slide off easier compared to asphalt shingles. With proper ice and water shield, synthetic roofing underlayment, and snow & ice protection systems, your home stays protected year-round.

We also help homeowners after storm damage with roof inspections and insurance claim assistance, which many competitors barely mention but homeowners truly need.

Our Metal Roofing Installation Process (Step-by-Step)

Many roofing websites skip this part. But knowing what happens during installation builds trust and helps you make a smarter decision.

1. Roof Inspection & Planning

We inspect the structure, ventilation, and decking to make sure your home can support a metal roofing system.

2. Tear-Off & Surface Preparation

If needed, we remove old materials and check for hidden damage before installing a metal roof underlayment and ice & water shield.

3. Precision Panel Installation

Using seam rollers, power seamers, metal shears & snips, and roofing scaffolding, we install panels with proper spacing to allow for thermal expansion.

4. Flashing & Waterproof Sealing

Roof flashing installation around chimneys, vents, and valleys prevents leaks long-term.

5. Final Safety & Quality Check

We perform a full inspection for fastening accuracy, waterproof sealing, and ventilation optimization.

This careful process is why professionally installed metal roofs last decades.

We install metal roofs for:

• Single-family homes

If you own a property near the Stark County Fairgrounds or anywhere in Stark County, a metal roof offers long-term protection with fewer repairs over time.

Energy Efficiency & Long-Term Savings

Here’s something many homeowners don’t realize. Metal roofs can lower energy costs.

Reflective metal roofing reduces heat absorption in summer while insulation and proper ventilation help regulate indoor temperatures during winter. That means your HVAC system doesn’t work as hard.

Over time, you may save on:

• Cooling costs
• Heating costs
• Repair expenses
• Replacement costs

While the upfront cost is higher than shingles, the long lifespan and low maintenance often make metal roofing more cost-effective in the long run.

Metal Roofing Materials We Offer

We help you choose the right material based on your budget, style, and property type.

Popular options include:

• Galvanized steel roofing (durable and cost-effective)
• Aluminum roofing panels (lightweight and corrosion-resistant)
• Copper roofing systems (premium and long-lasting)
• Zinc roofing (excellent longevity)
• Stone-coated steel roofing (traditional look with metal strength)

Each material is selected for weather resistance, impact resistance, and long-term performance in Ohio’s climate.
