Roofing help in Union City
Union City is a postwar suburb, and it shows in its roofs. About 61 percent of the city's 20,505 homes were built between 1960 and 1989. That big wave of tract houses is now reaching roof-replacement age all at once. Many are on their second or third roof. That is why most of our work here is full roof replacement, not new-build jobs.
The 1970s was Union City's single biggest building decade. About 6,042 homes went up then, close to 3 in 10 houses in the city. A normal asphalt shingle roof lasts about 20 to 30 years. Those 1970s roofs are decades past that mark. A worn, leaking shingle roof usually needs a tear-off and full reroof, not another patch. A roof inspection tells you which stage yours is at.
A reroof in Union City needs a city building permit from the Building Division. The roof plans must show the layout, pitch, roof covering, sheathing, and underlayment. Union City also sits in California climate zone 3, the mild Bay Area zone. The state energy code, Title 24, sets cool-roof rules that change by climate zone and roof slope. We pull the permit and follow those rules, so your job passes inspection.
Most Union City homes are worth protecting. About 58 percent are single-family detached houses, and roughly 62 percent are owner occupied. The median home value here is about 1,173,400 dollars. For an owner, the roof guards a very expensive house. A quality roof installation done to code keeps water out and protects the whole home for decades.
We are based in San Leandro, and Union City sits at the south end of our 15-mile service area. It is a flat, suburban city in the Tri-Cities, next to Fremont and Newark. Our crew reaches Union City roofs with a short drive. For a free estimate on your Union City roof replacement, call Tradition Roofing Company at (510) 914-0348.

Why are so many Union City roofs due for replacement?
Union City had a huge building boom decades ago. About 61 percent of its 20,505 homes were built between 1960 and 1989, and the 1970s alone added about 6,042 houses. A normal asphalt shingle roof lasts around 20 to 30 years. That means a large group of these tract-home roofs is worn out at the same time, so full replacement is common here.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Union City?
Yes. Replacing a roof in Union City needs a building permit from the city Building Division. The roof plans must show the roof layout, pitch, roof covering, sheathing, and underlayment. The reroof also has to follow the state energy code, Title 24, which sets cool-roof rules by roof slope. We pull the permit and handle the code so your new roof passes inspection.
Should I get a roof inspection before replacing my Union City roof?
Yes, a roof inspection first is smart. It tells you whether your roof needs a repair or a full replacement. On Union City's many 1960s to 1980s homes, an old shingle roof can hide soft decking underneath. An inspection checks the shingles, flashing, and deck, so you spend on the right fix instead of guessing. Then we give you an honest estimate.
Do Title 24 rules affect a reroof in Union City?
They can. Union City sits in California climate zone 3, the mild Bay Area zone. The state energy code, Title 24, sets cool-roof rules for reroofs, and those rules change by climate zone and roof slope. A steep-slope roof and a low-slope roof are treated differently. We follow the zone 3 rules for your roof, so the reroof meets code and passes inspection.
