Spring wind and hail
Roof age and material are the first things a carrier asks about a Stark County house, because wind and hail claims land on the roof. A documented replacement date often changes the premium more than any other single fact.

Local knowledge
Written from Canton, for Stark County
Canton is where we are. Our office is on Lesh Street NE, and most of the homes we insure sit inside the Canton–Massillon metro that Stark and Carroll counties make up. That means we know which carriers are comfortable with a 1920s frame house near downtown and which prefer a newer build in Plain or Jackson Township.
Stark County housing runs the full range: pre-war frames in Canton, Massillon and Alliance; post-war ranches in the townships; manufactured and rural homes out toward Minerva and Paris. Each of those is priced differently, and matching the house to the right carrier is where the quote moves.
Our office is at 3533 Lesh Street NE, Canton, Ohio 44705 — the home office for every site in the OAW Insurance network. Call, email, or start the quote above.

What carriers price for around Canton
Winter freeze-thaw
Water and freezing damage — burst pipes, ice dams — is one of the most common homeowners claims in the country, and carriers look at heat, insulation and roof age when they price a house for it.
Older housing stock
Much of Canton, Massillon and Alliance was built before the war. Knob-and-tube wiring, older panels, and original plumbing are underwriting questions, not disqualifiers — some carriers write them readily and some do not, and we know which.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does homeowners insurance cover?
A standard policy covers your dwelling, other structures (like a detached garage), personal property, loss of use, personal liability, and medical payments to others. Specific limits and endorsements vary by carrier — that's what we're here to compare.
How much homeowners insurance do I need?
You should insure your home for its replacement cost — not the market value. We help calculate the proper coverage based on your home's size, materials, and local construction costs.
Is homeowners insurance required in Ohio?
It's not required by law, but mortgage lenders will typically require coverage before issuing a home loan.
Can I get a quote without a credit check?
We use a soft credit inquiry, which doesn't affect your score. Your credit helps determine risk, and in many cases, better scores mean lower rates.
How can I lower my homeowners insurance premium?
Bundle with auto, install safety devices (like security systems), raise your deductible, or maintain a claims-free history to save more.
Do you actually have an office in Canton?
Yes — 3533 Lesh Street NE, Canton 44705. It is the one physical office behind every site in the OAW Insurance network, so Canton quotes are handled in Canton.
Do you write homes outside the city, in the townships or Carroll County?
Yes. Plain, Jackson and the other Stark County townships, plus the Carroll County side of the Canton–Massillon metro, are all inside our normal service area.
