North Canton 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.
Our office is on Whipple Avenue SW, and North Canton is straight up Cleveland Avenue from our door. When the job is done, we are still just down the road for anything you need.
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.
Why North Canton calls us
North Canton Roof Repair and Replacement, Straight Up Cleveland Avenue
From our Whipple Avenue office, North Canton is straight up Cleveland Avenue, which makes roof inspections, repairs and full replacements here as convenient for us as work across Canton. North Canton homeowners call us for roof replacement, leak repair, storm damage inspections, siding and seamless gutters, all handled by the same family owned crew.
Every job starts with a free inspection documented to the HAAG standard, and finished work is backed by our 12 year workmanship warranty with nothing due until you are satisfied.
What North Canton Roofs Deal With
Northeast Ohio winters put roofs through repeated freeze and thaw rather than a steady freeze. January averages a high right at 32 degrees and a low near 19, so a North Canton roof crosses the freezing point over and over between December and March. That cycling works fasteners loose and opens flashing joints that were sound in October.
Ice damming follows from the same pattern whenever attic ventilation is undersized. Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, the runoff refreezes at the colder eaves, and water backs up under the shingles. It is one of the most common causes of winter leaks we see in this area, and it is a ventilation problem far more often than a shingle problem.
North Canton Permits and Contractor Registration
North Canton runs its own permitting through the Development Services Department at City Hall, 145 North Main Street, and the city requires permits broadly, including for a new roof. Contractors working on one, two, and three family dwellings must be registered with the city before the work starts. This is separate from the City of Canton, Plain Township, and Jackson Township, all of which handle their own permitting. We confirm the correct jurisdiction for your address and handle the filing.
How We Work in North Canton
Every project starts with a free roof inspection and a written estimate. You get photographs and a straight explanation of the condition, including whether we think a replacement is genuinely warranted or whether a repair will carry the roof a few more years.
Nothing is due up front. You pay when the work is finished and you are satisfied, financing is available, and completed work carries a 12-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer coverage. We finish with a magnetic sweep for nails, because a driveway full of roofing nails is a poor thank you.

Common questions
North Canton Roofing Questions
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in North Canton?
North Canton requires permits broadly, and a new roof falls under that. The city also requires contractors doing work on one, two, and three family dwellings to be registered before starting. Requirements change periodically, so we confirm current rules with the Development Services Department and handle the paperwork as part of the job.
How long does a roof replacement take on a typical North Canton home?
Most single family roof replacements are a one day job, occasionally two if the roof is steep, complex, or we uncover decking that needs replacing. Weather is the usual variable. We will give you a realistic window at the estimate rather than an optimistic one.
Is metal roofing worth it here?
It depends on how long you plan to stay. Metal costs more up front and lasts considerably longer, sheds snow rather than holding it, and handles wind well. On a home you intend to keep for twenty years it often pencils out. On a shorter horizon, architectural asphalt is usually the better value.
My roof looks fine but my ceiling has a stain. What now?
Get it inspected. Water travels along decking and framing before it appears inside, so the entry point is often several feet uphill and invisible from the ground. The longer it runs, the more insulation and framing get involved and the more expensive the eventual repair becomes.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Roof inspections and estimates are free with no obligation. If the roof does not need work, we will tell you that and leave it there.
