Why Clawson homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Clawson 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. Clawson is about 17 miles north of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 25 minutes via the Southfield Freeway (M-39) to I-696 east and Crooks Road. We cover the whole Metro Detroit area, and we’re one of the 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 Clawson area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Clawson homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Clawson packs its whole housing stock into barely 2.2 square miles, which makes it one of the densest, most walkable small cities in Oakland County — and one of the most predictable to roof. The oldest streets date to the 1910s and 1920s, when Clawson filled with mail-order kit houses from Sears, Aladdin and Lewis; you can still find original Craftsman bungalows with wide front-gable or clipped-gable roofs, exposed rafter tails and shed dormers. Around them sits a big block of late-1940s and 1950s brick Cape Cods, story-and-a-half minimal traditionals and small ranches built on narrow 40- and 50-foot lots. The recurring problems here are tight: undersized or blocked soffit venting in the story-and-a-half attics, ice dams over shallow-overhang eaves, second-story pop-top and dormer additions where the new roof was tied badly into the old, and aging detached garages off the rear alleys. Lots are close together, so staging, tear-off protection and cleanup have to be tidy.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on 1920s bungalow gables, 1950s Cape Cod roofs with front and side dormers, and simple ranch slopes
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 story-and-a-half attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the narrow interior brick chimneys common on Clawson’s pre-war bungalows and post-war Capes

If your home is in the 48017 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Clawson 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.
