Four parts of the Medina area, four kinds of roof
- Public Square Historic District
Steep Victorian-era roofs on the old streets, a city roof permit and, inside the district, review by the Historic Preservation Board.
- 1990s and 2000s subdivisions
Two-story colonials whose builder shingles are aging out together. City of Medina Building Department.
- Medina Township
North and east of the city line, with bigger lots and more trees. Medina County Building Department, township zoning.
- Montville Township
South and east of the city, home to Fox Meadow. Medina County Building Department, township zoning.
Why does the city line matter for a roof?
Because it decides who issues the permit. The City of Medina runs its own Building Department at 132 North Elmwood Avenue and publishes its own roof guidelines. Step outside the corporation limit and the same job answers to the Medina County Building Department at 791 West Smith Road, while zoning questions go to the township.
The line is not where most people think. The city takes in parts of four townships: Lafayette, Medina, Montville and York. Two houses on the same road with the same ZIP code can fall under different offices. The county parcel record settles it, and the right office is confirmed before any roof work is scheduled.
Do you work elsewhere in Medina County?
Yes. Guttrz covers Medina County along with Summit and Stark counties, driving from North Canton. The four pages above are the places we have written up in detail. If your home is elsewhere near Medina, the process is the same: a free roof inspection, a photo report the same day and a written price. Start on the Medina roof replacement page or go straight to how it works.
