Why Royal Oak homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Royal Oak starts leaking after one of Michigan’s 70-mph storm gusts, you don’t want to wait three weeks for an out-of-area contractor to swing by. Royal Oak is about 13 miles north of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 20 to 25 minutes via M-10 (the Lodge) or Woodward. We’re one of the closest established roofing companies you can call when something happens to your roof tonight.

For 20+ years we’ve been replacing, repairing, and maintaining residential and commercial roofs across Metro Detroit. We’re veteran-owned and family-run. The crew that quotes your roof is the crew you’ll see on it. And if you get a written quote from another licensed roofer in the Royal Oak area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Royal Oak homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Most Royal Oak homes were built before 1970, with a large share of 1920s through 1940s bungalows. Royal Oak is bungalow country — lots of 1920s and 30s 1.5-story homes with steep pitches and dormers, where architectural shingles and a proper ice-and-water shield over the older decking make a real difference. Roughly a quarter of the housing here is multi-family, so we handle small commercial and apartment roofs alongside single-family work.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on classic ranch, bungalow, and colonial rooflines
Tear-offs down to clean deck with full ice-and-water shield at the eaves — required for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles
Ridge vent and soffit ventilation upgrades that keep older attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the original brick chimneys typical of post-war Metro Detroit homes

If your home is in the 48067 or 48073 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Royal Oak homeowners call us

Southeast Michigan storm seasons are getting more aggressive. Most seasons bring at least one round of 60 to 70 mph wind gusts and hail across the area. Wind lifts and tears shingles. Hail leaves invisible bruises that turn into leaks two storms later. Then ice dams in February finish the job.

When you call after a storm, we’ll:

Inspect free, no obligation — full walk of the roof, photos of damage, written summary
Help you with the insurance claim — we’ll meet your adjuster on-site if needed
Tarp the roof same-day if there’s an active leak
Schedule the repair or replacement with same-week availability for most jobs

We’ve been doing storm response across Metro Detroit long enough that local insurance adjusters know our work.
