Canton Roof Pros provides professional gutters and downspouts in Canton, OH for residential and commercial properties across Stark County. This is the center of the site, because in Canton the gutter is often not an accessory bolted to the house. On a large share of the pre-war stock it is part of the roof, built into the cornice, and the costliest thing to get wrong.
A built-in gutter, also called a box gutter, is a wooden trough framed into the cornice at the eave and lined with metal. Water runs along the inside of the cornice to an outlet and down a conductor. It sits inboard of the wall face, so when the lining fails the water does not drip off the front of the house. It runs into the bed board, the rafter tails, the top plate and the wall cavity.
So the honest recommendation here is often not the popular one. If you have a live box gutter and somebody offers to hang seamless gutters under it for eight hundred dollars, that fixes nothing. The trough above is still filling, still soaking end grain, and the new gutter catches only what makes it past the rot. We see this exact arrangement on Canton houses constantly and it is why the cornice fails.
There are two real answers and we quote both. Reline: rebuild soft gutter floor and bed board, fit a soldered twenty-ounce copper or a fully adhered single-ply liner with expansion joints in long runs, rebuild the outlets, and turn the roof membrane down into it. Or remove: cut the trough out, close and slope the cornice, fit drip edge, and hang seamless aluminum gutters outside the wall like a modern house.
Removal is cheaper to maintain and cheaper forever after, and on a plain worker cottage we usually recommend it. On a house with a decorative bracketed cornice, removal wrecks the elevation and relining is worth the money. We will tell you which one your house is and why. We photograph the cornice and let you look at it before you decide either way.
New hung work we build in .032 aluminum on hidden hangers at two-foot spacing, six-inch profile with three-by-four downspouts on anything with a large tributary area, and outlets sized to the roof rather than to the catalogue. Guards get sold hard in this market, and they help on a wooded lot and hurt on an open one, so we will tell you which yours is rather than adding them by default.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soldered twenty-ounce copper box-gutter lining, fully adhered single-ply liner over a rebuilt gutter floor, cornice bed board carrying the trough beneath the rafter tails, scarfed rafter-tail sisters cut back to sound wood, penetrating epoxy consolidant on checked cornice stock, lock-seam conductor and cast collar at the trough outlet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Canton and nearby communities including Massillon, North Canton, Alliance, Louisville.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters and downspouts
The difference between gutters and downspouts that lasts and gutters and downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with soldered twenty-ounce copper box-gutter lining, fully adhered single-ply liner over a rebuilt gutter floor, cornice bed board carrying the trough beneath the rafter tails, scarfed rafter-tail sisters cut back to sound wood, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Canton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Stark County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Canton Chooses Canton Roof Pros
- ✓We price the roof edge before the roof field, because on Canton's pre-war stock the built-in gutter is what decides the job
- ✓Every proposal quotes relining the trough and removing it side by side, with the maintenance cost of each stated
- ✓We will not hang seamless gutters under a live box gutter and call it a repair, and we will explain on site why that fix fails
- ✓We refuse to trowel roof cement or fibered coating into a wooden gutter, because sealing the top surface only makes the floor rot faster
