The local picture in Union City
The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the hills. Union Landing is a large shopping center near I-880.
Union City incorporated in 1959, joining Alvarado and Decoto. Many homes from this era have low-slope sections over porches or garages that need different materials than the main roof. Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park is in the hills.
Most rain falls between November and March, so a small leak can sit unnoticed through the dry season until the first big storm. The city sits between Hayward and Fremont.
Who handles what in Union City
In California, licenses for roofing contractors come from the Contractors State License Board. Ask for a written estimate that lists materials, tear-off, disposal and how any rotten decking will be handled.
Permit questions go to the City of Union City Building Division. ACWD supplies a blend of Niles Cone groundwater, SFPUC water and State Water Project water. Many homes sit on slab foundations. Most homes were built from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Questions from Union City residents
Should I get a roof inspection after a storm?
It's a good idea after high winds or hail, even if you don't see damage from the ground. Small problems are easier to fix early.
Do you cover Casa Verde and Dry Creek?
Most likely. We cover Casa Verde, Tamarack, Dry Creek and Decoto and other parts of Union City, across 94587. If nobody's available, we'll tell you, and you can call back later or pick another day that works better.
How long does a roof last?
It depends on the material. Asphalt shingles often last around 20 to 30 years, while metal, tile and slate can last much longer with care.
Any Union City details worth mentioning when I call?
Alvarado was home to an early California sugar beet factory. The Station District is growing around the Union City BART station. Afternoon breezes off the Bay are common. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.
Does roof repair in Union City need a permit?
Some jobs do and many small repairs don't. In Union City, permits are handled by the City of Union City Building Division, and the roofing contractor can tell you if your job needs one.
