Garage Building services in Union
Union Township grew fast in the decades after the Second World War, and its housing shows it. Large parts of town are capes, split-levels and ranches from the 1940s to the 1960s on regular suburban lots, many with an attached one-car garage tucked under or beside the house. Older sections near Union Center and Vauxhall have earlier homes with detached garages at the end of the driveway. The most common requests here are widening an attached one-car garage to two cars, adding a bay to the side of the house, and replacing a detached garage that has outlived its slab. Attached work in Union means tying a new roof into an existing one without creating a valley that holds snow and ice. Where a garage sits under living space, the fire separation between the two has to meet the code.
