AMP Roofing is a GAF-certified, family-owned roofing contractor serving Union, Connecticut and the surrounding Tolland County hill towns with insurance-based roof replacement and storm-damage repair. As Connecticut’s smallest town by population, Union sits high in the wooded northeast corner near Bigelow Hollow State Park, where heavy snow loads and ice storms put serious stress on a roof. We bring a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in to fight your insurance claim and back every replacement with a GAF 50-year limited warranty. Call (401) 681-3123 for a free, written itemized estimate.
Union’s roofs take more punishment than almost anywhere else in Connecticut because the town sits in the high, wooded hills of the state’s northeast corner, where winter arrives harder and lingers longer than it does near the coast. The main threats here are extreme snow load, ice storms, ridge-top wind, and aging roof materials.
We inspect for all of it and document the storm damage in the detail an insurance adjuster needs.
Housing in Union is overwhelmingly rural and low-density — older New England farmhouses, capes, and colonials scattered along country roads, plus newer homes tucked into the forest near Nipmuck State Forest and Bigelow Hollow. Many of these houses have been here for generations, and so have their roofs.
That rural building stock creates specific roofing challenges. Steep, complex roof lines on the older farmhouses and capes shed snow unevenly and collect ice in their valleys. Long driveways and tree-shaded lots mean moss, debris, and shade-driven moisture shorten shingle life. And because lots are large and homes are spread out, storm damage often goes unnoticed until a leak appears inside.
We replace these roofs with GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles, which hold up to the snow and wind Union sees, and we match the new roof to the character of an older home rather than just slapping on the cheapest option.
“When my insurance only wanted to approve a repair, Nick’s knowledge of the policy and the matching law got my entire roof covered — plus the interior smoke damage. My $85,000 claim cost me only my $2,000 deductible. The crew was professional, thorough, and cleaned up every nail. I recommend AMP to everyone.”
“Had a great experience with the company. They made the whole process smooth and I didn’t have to do anything.”
“The roof was removed and replaced with great concern and professionalism. I appreciate not having to worry about my roof for the next 50 years.”

A roof replacement in Union requires a building permit, and AMP files it for you as a licensed Connecticut contractor — you don’t have to navigate town hall yourself. In Connecticut, permits go directly to the local building department rather than a statewide portal.
For Union, that’s the building department at 1043 Buckley Highway, Union, CT 06076, reachable at (860) 684-2975. CT roofing permits typically take about 2–5 business days to issue, and every replacement closes out with a required final inspection once the work is done. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork from start to finish, so the only thing you sign off on is the finished roof.
AMP Roofing covers all of Union, from Union Center out to the homes bordering Bigelow Hollow State Park, Nipmuck State Forest, and Mashapaug Lake. Because Union is small and rural, we work the whole town — there’s no neighborhood too remote for us to reach.
We run our crews along Route 171, Route 197, and the I-84 corridor that cuts through town, so we can get to any property quickly for an inspection or storm response. We also serve the neighboring communities of Stafford, Woodstock, Ashford, Eastford, and Willington, which keeps a crew close to Union whenever a storm rolls through this stretch of Tolland County. We target 2–4 hour storm response so a fresh leak or wind damage gets tarped before it gets worse.
Most roof replacements in Union fall in the range of about $9,000 to $20,000, depending on the size and pitch of the roof and the condition of the deck underneath. Older farmhouses and capes with steep, cut-up roof lines run toward the higher end. When the work stems from storm damage, your insurance often covers most of the cost beyond your deductible, and a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in works to make sure the claim reflects the true scope.
Yes. A roof replacement in Union requires a building permit, which AMP files on your behalf with the Union building department at 1043 Buckley Highway. As a licensed Connecticut contractor, we handle the application, and the job finishes with a required final inspection — you don’t deal with town hall at all.
Most Union roof replacements are completed in one to two days on site once materials and the permit are in hand. The CT permit itself usually takes about 2–5 business days to issue through the town building department. Larger or steeper rural farmhouse roofs may add a day, and we always schedule around the weather these northeast Connecticut hills are known for.
If a snow, ice, or wind storm damages your roof in Union, call AMP at (401) 681-3123 and we aim to respond within 2–4 hours to inspect and tarp it. We document the damage thoroughly, and a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in manages the insurance claim for you — which matters in a high-snow town like Union, where roof damage is common and adjusters can undervalue it.
Every roof AMP installs in Union is backed by a GAF 50-year limited warranty, using GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles built to handle the heavy snow loads and ridge-top winds typical of this part of Tolland County. As a GAF-certified contractor, we can offer warranty coverage that standard roofers can’t, protecting both the materials and our workmanship.
