Union, MO Roofing & Siding
Union is our home. We moved the business here from the Overland suburb of St. Louis around 2003, and it has been the base for everything we do across Franklin County ever since. When you call about a roof in Union, you are not reaching a call center or a metro franchise that drives in after a storm. You are reaching the family whose name is on the truck, whose kids went through the Union and Washington school systems we still sponsor, and whose office manager Wendy answers the phone.
Union sits where Highway 50 meets Highway 47 at the heart of Franklin County, and the housing here runs the full range: older homes near the county courthouse and the historic downtown, newer subdivisions on the edges of town, and rural acreage roofs out toward the county line. Each one weathers eastern Missouri's storm pattern differently. The federally declared March 2025 disaster, with tornadoes, large hail, and straight-line winds over 75 mph across Franklin County, worked roofs all over town, and a 1990s subdivision roof in Union takes that hail very differently than a steep older roof downtown. We have replaced and repaired enough of both to know the difference before we get on the ladder.
What makes a Union roof fail is rarely one storm. It is the stack: spring and summer hail and straight-line wind bruising the shingles, then a Missouri winter of freeze-thaw expanding and contracting the material until seams and flashing open up, then the next summer's hail exploiting the gap. We replace failed decking and fascia, not just shingles, because in this climate the wood underneath is usually part of the story. We talk you through what we find while we are up there, so nothing gets quietly covered back over.
Because Union is our base, our response here is fast. If you have a leak or storm damage, we will be there the same day to look at it. On an insurance claim, Tom Emmendorfer meets your adjuster on the roof and walks them through every soft spot, because that inspection is the one chance to get the full damage scope on the record. That local, owner-on-the-roof accountability is what no storm-chasing subcontractor can match in Union.
