Rain Forge team at work

Our Story

Built in Canton.
Built to Last.

Rain Forge started with a truck, a ladder, and a commitment to doing things right. A decade later, we're still the same company — just with a lot more happy neighbors.

Who We Are

A Canton Company Through and Through

Rain Forge Trim and Lighting was founded in 2015 by a Canton native who got tired of watching homeowners get overcharged for shoddy gutter work. The idea was simple: show up on time, do the job right, charge a fair price, and let the work speak for itself.

It worked. Word spread through neighborhoods, and before long we were the crew people called when they wanted it done right the first time. When homeowners started asking about exterior lighting, we learned that trade too — and brought the same standard to it.

Today we serve hundreds of Stark County homeowners every year. We're still locally owned, still hands-on, and still obsessed with quality. That hasn't changed and it never will.
