Roof Replacement in Union, MO
Replacing a roof in Union means working with the family that lives here, not a metro outfit running a Union landing page. We moved the business to Union around 2003 and have replaced roofs across Franklin County since 1990, roughly 2,400 Missouri homes in all. When the old roof on your Union home has reached the end, a real Emmendorfer gets on it, walks every slope, and hands you a written number before anyone orders a shingle.
Union roofs carry the full eastern-Missouri stress load. The March 14, 2025 wind and hail event that hit Franklin County. It dropped two-inch stones at nearby Sullivan worked roofs all over this county, and the freeze-thaw winters that follow keep opening the seams that summer hail then exploits. By the time a Union roof needs replacing, the decking underneath is often part of the problem. Our full tear-off is the only way to see it. We replace soft plywood and failed fascia, show you the bad wood before we cover it, and seal the valleys and eaves against the ice damming a Missouri winter brings.
What our roof replacement includes in Union
A real replacement is more than a tear-off and a new layer. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.
Full tear-off to the deck
We strip every old layer down to the wood. A layover hides rotten decking and voids most manufacturer warranties, so we only recommend it in rare cases. Tearing off is the only way to see what the storms and freeze-thaw have actually done.
Replace failed decking and fascia
With the deck exposed we replace soft or rotten plywood, then tighten and replace failed fascia boards and gutter boards. We talk you through what we find while we are up there, so you know what is going on your home and why.
New underlayment and ice-and-water shield
Valleys, eaves, and penetrations get a waterproof membrane before the field shingles go on. This is where Missouri freeze-thaw and ice damming would otherwise find their way in.
Install your chosen system
We set a complete system from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Malarkey, or GAF, matched to your home rather than to one supplier. The brand is on your written estimate before we order it.
Clean to no footprint
We magnet-sweep the yard for nails and haul every scrap. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and get out without leaving a footprint.
Because our shop is in Union, the response is fast and the accountability is local. We can be at a storm-damaged Union roof the same day, and on an insurance claim Tom Emmendorfer meets your adjuster on the roof here in town, not over the phone from another county. That is the part that matters most on a replacement claim: the documented inspection is your one chance to get the full damage scope on the record before the adjuster forms their own view.
