Massillon 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.
Massillon is right next door to our office on Canton’s southwest side, which makes Massillon homeowners about as close to neighbors as a roofing company gets.
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.

River Valley Weather and Older Roofs
Winter here is a freeze and thaw climate rather than a steady freeze. January averages a high right at 32 degrees and a low near 19, so roofs cross the freezing point repeatedly between December and March. That cycling works fasteners loose and opens flashing joints that were sound in autumn.
Massillon sits in the Tuscarawas River valley, and lower lying properties deal with drainage pressure that hillside homes do not. Gutter sizing and downspout routing matter more here than people expect. Combine that with heavy mature tree cover on the established streets and clogged gutters become a recurring source of fascia rot and ice damming at the eaves.
Permits for Massillon Roofing Work
The City of Massillon handles permitting for addresses inside the city limits, while surrounding areas such as Perry Township, Tuscarawas Township, and Jackson Township operate separately. A Massillon mailing address does not always mean the city issues your permit. We confirm the correct office for your specific parcel before work starts and handle the filing as part of the job.
What Working With Us Looks Like
You get a free inspection, photographs of the roof, and a written estimate with a straight recommendation. If a repair is the honest answer, that is what we will tell you.
Nothing is due up front. Payment comes when the work is done and you are satisfied, financing is available, and every completed job carries our 12-year workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer coverage on materials.

Common questions
Questions From Massillon Homeowners
Do you work on the older homes near downtown Massillon?
Regularly. Older houses need a different approach because of plank decking, existing roofing layers, and original chimney flashing. We inspect before quoting so the estimate reflects what is actually on your roof rather than a generic price per square.
My gutters overflow every heavy rain. Is that a gutter problem?
Not always. Overflow can mean the gutters are clogged, undersized for the roof area draining into them, pitched incorrectly, or that the downspouts cannot move water fast enough. We look at the whole system rather than just cleaning them and moving on.
How quickly can you respond after a storm?
A localized event usually means a fast turnaround. A widespread hail or wind event across Stark County puts every roofer under load at once. Call as early as you can, and tell us immediately if water is actively entering the house.
Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
Yes, and we do it often. Selling an unnecessary roof just down the road from our own office is a poor way to run a business that depends on referrals in this county.
