Union homes and their roofs
Union Township has one of the largest stocks of 1930s through 1950s Capes and colonials in the county. Many are on their original layout, which makes them ideal for dormers, finished basements, and bathroom updates that bring them up to how families live now.
Cape roofs: steep, with lots of flashing
Union Capes have steep roofs, dormers, and a lot of wall-to-roof flashing, and the finished half-story often has little attic ventilation. That combination causes ice dams and leaks. We fix the flashing and ventilation, not just the shingles.
Colonials: simple roofs, big walls
Colonial roofs in Union are usually simple gables, which keeps roofing cost down. The big two-story walls are where siding makes the biggest visual difference, and many still have 1970s aluminum siding.
Older homes: expect the unexpected under the shingles
Pre-war homes in Union often have board sheathing, multiple old layers, and chimneys that need reflashing. We price deck repairs per sheet in writing so there are no surprises.
Union pricing
Most Union roof replacements run $9,000 to $18,000 for architectural shingles. Adding vinyl siding typically brings a full exterior package to $28,000 to $48,000.

Permits in Union
Roof replacement and most siding work in Union require a permit from the Union construction office. DMF files the application, keeps the permit posted on site, and schedules the final inspection so your records are clean when you sell.
