About Union and Its Roofing Needs
Union Township is a large, centrally located Union County community that bills itself as the Township of Union — a name that reflects its unifying position between the suburban communities to the west and the urban centers to the east. The township's housing stock is solidly middle-class: well-built, well-maintained homes that families invest in for the long term.
Roofing Expertise for Union Properties
Union Township housing is overwhelmingly single-family — colonials, Cape Cods, split-levels, and ranches from the 1940s through 1970s on quarter-acre lots. The Vauxhall Road and Morris Avenue corridors provide commercial context, but the residential neighborhoods between them are classically suburban. Most Union homes have straightforward roof geometries with 1,500-2,500 square feet of roof area, making them efficient to re-roof when the time comes. The township's large inventory of Cape Cods and split-levels means our crews frequently handle these specific roof configurations here.
Addressing Union's Specific Roofing Challenges
Union Township's extensive inventory of mid-century homes means a high percentage are reaching the age where second or third roof replacement becomes necessary. The original plywood decking in many 1950s-1960s Union homes may show signs of delamination that are invisible from outside but become apparent during tear-off. We inspect decking on every Union project and budget for replacement sections in our estimates to avoid mid-project cost surprises. The Rahway River running through the southern section creates localized humidity conditions that affect homes in lower-lying neighborhoods.
