Roofing in Uniontown, OH
There is no village hall to visit. Uniontown is an unincorporated community inside Lake Township, so the building department with jurisdiction is Stark County's, at 7235 Whipple Avenue Northwest in Canton, reachable on 330-451-1770 and certified for one, two and three family dwellings. That certification is what makes the county's approval the real one.
Zoning is the township's separate business. Lake Township maintains its own zoning, unlike four Stark County townships that have none at all, so a project here can require a township zoning approval and a county building approval from two different offices with two different counters and two different clerks. Neither office can answer for the other.
The county enforces the 2019 Residential Code of Ohio for houses, alongside the 2019 Ohio Mechanical Code and the 2023 National Electrical Code. Those adoption dates are published, and they are worth citing back to any contractor who quotes you a different code year off a printed handout. The code year is not a detail.
One statewide provision applies to your roof no matter which office signs the permit. Ohio fills in the ice barrier column of its climatic design table with a single word, yes, on the stated basis that all jurisdictions in Ohio have a history of local damage from the effects of ice damming.
Uniontown's housing does not fit this company's founding argument and we will not pretend otherwise. Median year built is 1977 and just 6.0 percent of units date to 1939 or earlier, the lowest pre-war share of any Stark County place on our list and a quarter of Perry Heights' figure.
What it does have is 94.9 percent of homes on utility gas, the highest gas share in our whole service area, and 81.9 percent owner occupancy on a median value of $257,500. A gas flue means a live chimney or a metal vent stack, and both are where these roofs actually leak.
So on the State Route 619 corridor and around the Cleveland Avenue crossroads, our first hour goes to flashing rather than to cornice carpentry. Step flashing, counterflashing cut into the masonry, and the boot at the plumbing stack, which is the single most common failure on a house built in the 1970s. Boots fail quietly, and they are cheap to replace before they do.

Roofing work we do in Uniontown, OH
Canton Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Uniontown that we do in Canton — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Storm Damage Restoration — After a line of storms crosses Stark County we get two kinds of call, and they need opposite answers. One is a roof that was fine on Monday and is not fine on Tuesday.
- Hail Damage Roofing — Hail inspections here run in two passes, because a Canton house has two different metal assemblies at risk and adjusters routinely scope only one of them. The field of shingles is the obvious one.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind does not start in the middle of a roof. It finds an edge, gets beneath it and works its way in, which is why the first course above a built-in gutter is the most important shingle on a Canton house and the one most often installed badly.
- Roof Inspections — An inspection that only looks at shingles passes a great many roofs in this city and misses what is wrong with them. On pre-war Canton housing the failure starts in a trough you cannot see from the ground, or from a ladder unless you climb into it.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt covers nearly every roof in Canton and the choice between shingle lines matters less here than almost anywhere else. What the shingle lands on, and how it terminates at the cornice, decides whether it reaches its rated life.
- Metal Roofing — We install a lot of metal in Canton and most of it is not on the main roof. It goes on the rear ell, the front porch and the bay roof, which is where this housing stock actually needs it and where the numbers make sense.

About Uniontown, OH — and why local matters here
Uniontown sits in Stark County with a population of roughly 7,173, close enough to Canton that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the State Route 619 corridor through Lake Township, the Cleveland Avenue crossroads at Uniontown.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Uniontown properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Stark County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
