Union Roofers install new roofs and remove old roofs. They apply hot and cold roofing and waterproofing, asphalt, shingles, tile and single-ply roofing materials. Roofers also install hot build-up and single-ply roofing systems on commercial/industrial structures, as well as install moisture-resistant products on below-grade structures and other surfaces to prevent water intrusion into the buildings.
