Summit County Roofing From a Family Owned Canton Company
Right Choice Exteriors is owned and run by Kerri Leggett and Dean Ball, and it has been a family owned, veteran owned Canton business since 2014. Kerri brings years of expertise in the roofing and siding industry and a commitment to delivering every job to the highest standard. Dean brings years of hands on construction experience, along with the integrity and discipline he learned in the Marine Corps, and he carries that into every home the company works on. Together with a team that has more than 25 years of combined experience, they built Right Choice on three values: passion, quality and integrity.
Summit County is straight up I-77 from our office on Whipple Avenue SW, and Green and the southern edge of the county sit just over the Stark County line. Summit County homeowners get the same people, the same warranty and the same follow through as our neighbors in Canton.
When you call, you reach the people who run the company, and the crew on your roof works out of an office you can drive to.

What Older Summit County Homes Need From a Roof
Akron’s housing is older than many people expect. The median home in the city was built in 1954, and roughly a third were built before 1940. Older homes often carry plank decking, more than one layer of old shingles and flashing that has been patched for decades, and each of those changes what a proper roof replacement involves.
That is why every Summit County job starts with a documented inspection from the decking up, before we recommend anything. Newer homes in Green bring different questions, usually about storm damage, attic ventilation and the timing of a first replacement, and we treat those on their own terms.
Storm Damage Roof Inspections in Summit County
Hail and wind damage rarely shows from the ground, and Summit County winters add ice dams to the list. Our inspections follow the HAAG standard, with every impact and lifted shingle photographed before anything is covered, and we will tell you plainly whether the damage looks like it would support an insurance claim.

Common questions
Questions About Summit County Coverage
Are you actually local to Summit County?
Our office is in Canton, in Stark County. We work Summit County regularly and are close enough to respond quickly, but we will not claim an Akron address we do not have. Every crew travels out from Canton.
Does an older Akron home cost more to reroof?
Sometimes, and the reason is usually what we find under the shingles. Older homes are more likely to need decking repair, additional layers torn off, or ventilation corrections. We inspect before quoting.
Who issues the permit for my project?
Each municipality in Summit County handles its own permitting, and requirements differ between Akron, Green, and the surrounding communities. We confirm the correct office for your parcel and file the paperwork.
