Canton was named in 1834 for Canton, China, by founders who hoped to start a silk industry. Most of its homes are much newer: about 69% were built since 2000, so many original roofs are now coming due. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Canton and the surrounding Cherokee County area, and a live person answers 24/7.

“Once we contacted them they worked seamlessly with our insurance company. The only decision we had to make was the color of the roof.”

About 40% of Canton’s homes were built in the 2000s. Many of those original roofs are 17 to 26 years old and at or near their first replacement.
On June 7, 2025, storms with winds estimated as high as 75 mph brought trees down around Canton, including on Heritage Drive, Riverstone Parkway, Cartersville Street and Great Sky Parkway.
Storms put trees on homes in the Canton area in March 2025, June 2025 and March 2026. When a tree hits, we tarp the opening and photograph everything for your claim.
About 6% of Canton’s homes were built before 1940, including mill cottages from the Canton Cotton Mills era. On older homes, we match the look of the existing roof.

We check every slope, the flashing, vents and gutters, and the attic if you have a leak. You get clear photos of what we found, good or bad.
We tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement, and why, with a line-item estimate. If it is storm damage, we document it for your insurance company and can meet your adjuster on site.
Our crew does the work, protects your landscaping, cleans up the nails and debris, and walks the finished roof with you.
Nearby, we also work in Woodstock, Cartersville, Kennesaw, Roswell and Cumming. See all areas we serve.

Jabari Bulger came to my door after seeing that my roof was seriously in need of replacement. He walked me through the process with insurance and the roof replacement seamlessly. I'm very happy with my choice to use Emergency Roofing Solutions.
Jabari was knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and very helpful during the entire process.
I highly recommend ERS. Jabari and his crew were professional and were attentive to our needs. I am especially grateful because this was our first roof replacement, and he guided us through the - at times - arduous process. His colleague John was very courteous and reassuring on the build date. Go with ERS!
I hired Emergency Roofing Solutions after learning my roof, which had been updated before I bought the house, was missing proper ventilation.
