Why Franklin homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Franklin 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. The Village of Franklin is about 13 miles northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 20 minutes via the Southfield Freeway and Northwestern Highway. 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 Franklin area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Franklin homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Franklin is one of the oldest intact settlements in Oakland County, and its housing runs from the 1830s through the mid-20th century and later. Along Franklin Road between Fourteen Mile Road and Scenic Drive sits the Franklin Historic District — listed on the National Register in 1969 and the first district in Michigan to earn that listing — full of Greek Revival and Victorian houses with steep pitches, tight valleys, dormers, and original chimneys. Outside the historic core, the village is mostly large homes on wooded, acre-plus lots, which means heavy tree cover, constant debris in the valleys and gutters, and long ladder carries from the drive. Franklin also has a local historic district with a Historic District Commission that reviews exterior work, so on protected properties we plan material selection and approvals into the schedule rather than discovering them halfway through a tear-off.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep 19th-century gables, gambrel and dormered rooflines, and large modern colonial roofs
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, heavily shaded attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall original brick chimneys found throughout the historic district

If your home is in the 48025 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Franklin 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. In a village as heavily wooded as Franklin, falling limbs add a fourth problem.

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.
