Canton Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Canton, OH for residential and commercial properties across Stark County. This is the page where we mostly tell people no, and it is worth saying plainly. If you own an ordinary Canton frame house and you are thinking about a clay or concrete tile roof, we are probably going to argue you out of it.
The objection is structural and it is specific. The rafters in this stock were sized for wood shingle at roughly two hundred pounds a square, and a clay tile system runs three to five times that before you add a wet winter. Bringing the framing up to carry it means sistering rafters and often new bearing, which costs more than the tile does. A wet February snow load adds to the number.
The cornice makes it worse. A tile field has to terminate on a solid, supported edge with a proper starter and a pan, and a built-in gutter with an eighty-year-old bed board is not that edge. Rebuilding the whole cornice to carry a tile eave is real money spent on the one part of the job nobody will ever see. Nobody ever photographs the eave they paid the most for.
What we do work on is the tile that is genuinely here. Ohio was a clay roofing state, Ludowici has been firing tile at New Lexington since the last century, and there are real interlocking clay roofs on the older churches, institutional buildings and a handful of houses around Canton. Those are worth keeping and they are repairable long past the point most contractors will touch them.
On those we source matching field tile and fittings, re-lay sections over new underlayment, replace cracked pieces individually with copper hangers rather than mastic, and rebuild the valleys and the hip and ridge bedding. Broken tile on a sound roof is a repair, not a reason to tear off a hundred-year-old covering. Replacement pieces are sourced by profile and color rather than by whatever is on the shelf.
If you have a tile or slate roof in Stark County and three contractors in a row have told you it needs replacing, get one more opinion before you commit. That is not a sales line. We have walked away from replacement quotes on roofs that had thirty years left in them. Not many roofers write that down, so here it is in print. Slate and clay reward patience more than any other covering we work on.
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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing 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
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Canton follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every tile roofing project in Canton gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
