Why Waterford Township homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Waterford 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. Waterford Township is about 25 miles north-northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 45 minutes via M-10 to Telegraph Road (US-24) north, then west on M-59. 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 Waterford Township area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Waterford Township homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Waterford is a charter township rather than an incorporated city, and it has 34 named lakes inside its borders — Cass, Elizabeth, Loon, Williams, Watkins, Maceday, Lotus, Crescent and more — and that shaped the housing. The railroad reached here in 1851 and turned the township into a summer resort for Detroit families, so the oldest houses ringing the lakes started life as seasonal cottages. They were winterized, dormered, popped up a half-story and porched-in over the decades, which is why a shoreline roof in Drayton Plains or on Elizabeth Lake so often reads as three or four mismatched planes with valleys dumping straight onto an addition. Then came the postwar wave: the 1950s alone account for the single largest block of housing here, and the median Waterford home was built in 1972. Those long, low-slope ranch gables on Clintonville and Four Towns streets are now well past their second roof. Add mature shoreline tree canopy — moss on the north slopes, debris packing the valleys, limbs on the gutters — and you get the two calls we take most in Waterford: valley leaks on converted cottages, and ice-dammed eaves on shallow-pitch ranches.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on winterized lake cottages with added dormers, low-slope 1950s–70s ranches, and detached garages 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, tightly framed attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the original brick chimneys common on Waterford’s pre-war cottage and postwar ranch stock

If your home is in the 48327, 48328 or 48329 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Waterford 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.
