Louisville roofing FAQ
Who picks up when I call Louisville Ohio Roofing?
Guttrz does. It is a locally owned company in North Canton, Ohio, and it handles every call, inspection and job that comes through this website. The line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Is Louisville Ohio Roofing a separate roofing company?
No. Louisville Ohio Roofing is the name of this website, which exists to serve one city and one service. The business behind it is Guttrz, a brand of The Schaffner Company LLC.
Do you work in Louisville, Kentucky?
No. Everything here is about Louisville in Stark County, Ohio, ZIP code 44641. The Kentucky city of the same name is about 300 miles away and is not served.
Which areas around Louisville do you cover?
The whole city of Louisville and the surrounding Nimishillen Township, including the Harrisburg area and the roads between Louisville and Canton. Both are in Stark County.
Who does the roof inspection at my Louisville house?
The owner of the company. He does the inspection himself on every job, takes the photos and writes the quote, so the person who saw your roof is the person who priced it.
How soon can I get someone out?
Inspections are being scheduled now. When you call or send the online form, you hear back by text or phone within the hour to pick a time that works for you.
What does it cost to have the roof looked at?
Nothing at all. The visit is free, the photo report is free, and you are under no obligation afterward.
How long is a written quote good for?
One year from the date on it. You can get a price in winter, think it over, compare it with others and still have the same number waiting in spring.
When are new roofs being installed?
Starting in spring 2027. Asphalt shingles seal best in warm weather, so replacements are booked for the warm months. Repairs and inspections go on through the winter whenever the roof is dry and clear.
What types of roofing do you install?
Architectural asphalt shingles, and only those. Metal panels, slate, tile and flat-roof membranes are not offered, and you will be told right away if your roof is one of those.
Does a new roof need a permit in the City of Louisville?
It does. The city's permit requirements sheet lists a building permit for reroofing, handled by Planning and Zoning at City Hall on South Mill Street. Township addresses fall under Nimishillen Township zoning and Stark County.
How many years should a new shingle roof last here?
Architectural shingles typically give about 25 to 30 years of service in the Midwest. Good attic ventilation, sound flashing and keeping debris out of the valleys all help a roof reach the long end of that.
Will there be nails and debris left in my yard?
There should not be. The old roof goes directly into a dumpster, and when the job is done the lawn, flower beds and driveway are gone over with a rolling magnet. Any stray nail you find afterward is worth a call.
