Union County’s housing tells a specific story that every contractor needs to understand. Nearly half of all housing units are detached single-family homes — the dominant housing type in the county’s suburban communities. The median home was built in 1956, and close to a quarter of Union County’s housing stock dates from before 1940. This means the county is filled with post-war ranches, split-levels, Cape Cods, and colonial homes — most of which have never been substantially updated. Original 1950s and 1960s kitchens with laminate countertops and basic cabinetry, bathrooms with pink or avocado tile, and hardwood floors hidden under carpet layers — these are the renovation projects that define Union County’s residential market, and they are exactly what Tona specializes in.
Union County spans a remarkable economic range within a compact geography. Elizabeth — Union County’s largest city and one of the most densely populated in New Jersey — sits at one end, with a working-class homeowner base seeking affordable, quality renovations. Westfield, Cranford, Summit, and Scotch Plains sit at the other end — established communities with high-income households, large colonial and Victorian homes, and buyers who demand premium craftsmanship. Tona serves the full spectrum: affordable flooring and painting updates for Elizabeth homeowners, and comprehensive kitchen gut renovations with custom cabinetry for Westfield and Summit properties.
Union County has the highest average household income of any county we serve — $149,595. These are homeowners who have invested in their communities for decades. They want a contractor who shows up, does quality work, and backs it with a guarantee. That is exactly what Tona delivers, at a price that makes sense for every part of Union County — from Elizabeth to Summit.

Union County is home to the Watchung Reservation, the Garden State Parkway’s eastern corridor, and some of New Jersey’s most celebrated downtown Main Streets — Westfield’s vibrant retail district, Cranford’s tree-lined streets, and Summit’s upscale downtown. These are communities with a strong sense of local pride and homeowners who take their properties seriously.
