Why White Lake Township homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in White Lake Township 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. White Lake Township is about 30 miles northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 50 minutes via M-10 north to Telegraph Road (US-24), then west on M-59 Highland 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 White Lake Township area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

White Lake Township homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

White Lake is a charter township rather than an incorporated city — 37 square miles with 21 lakes in it — White Lake itself, Pontiac Lake, Oxbow, Cedar Island, Sugden, Round and Neva among them — and roughly ten percent of the township is water. That gives you two very different roofing jobs on the same day. On the lake rings you’ll find pre-1950 cottage stock that was winterized and expanded over generations: dormers added, porches enclosed, a garage tied into the main slope at a pitch that doesn’t match anything else on the house. Those transitions are where the leaks live. Away from the water, the bulk of the township went up between the 1970s and the 2000s on wooded rural-residential acreage, with steep-pitch gables, walkouts and a detached garage or pole barn on nearly every parcel. Nearly four in five homes here are single-family detached, and White Lake also has an unusually high share of manufactured housing, which is low-slope metal work rather than shingles. Heavy mature canopy over the lake roads means moss on north slopes, valleys packed with needles and limbs on the gutters every spring.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on winterized lake cottages with mismatched additions, steep-pitch wooded-lot homes, and detached garages, pole barns and boathouse structures
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 lakefront and 1970s attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the masonry chimneys and framed chases common on White Lake’s cottage-era and 1970s–90s housing

If your home is in the 48383 or 48386 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block — and we cover the township edges that carry Waterford, Davisburg or Commerce Township mailing addresses too.

Storm damage is the #1 reason White Lake Township 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.
