Roofing Contractor Whittaker, Mi

Why Whittaker homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Whittaker 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. Whittaker is about 40 miles southwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 50 minutes via the Southfield Freeway (M-39) south, I-94 west and US-23 south to Willis 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 Whittaker area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Whittaker homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Whittaker is small — an unincorporated crossroads community near the geographic center of Augusta Township, where Talladay Road meets Whittaker Road beside the Norfolk Southern line that was once the Wabash Railroad. It was originally called Augusta Center, and it still functions as the township’s civic center rather than a town. The handful of houses in the hamlet itself are 19th-century frame homes built when the general store, hotel and creamery went up next to the tracks: steep front-gable and cross-gable roofs, narrow eaves, tall exposed masonry chimneys and porch roofs that were added or rebuilt at some later date. Step a quarter mile out in any direction and it turns to open farmland — farmhouses and post-war ranches on multi-acre parcels down Judd Road, Tuttle Hill Road and Hitchingham Road, most of them with a pole barn, a machine shed or a detached garage that needs shingles at the same time as the house. Long gravel drives and open, unsheltered exposure to west wind are the two things that shape almost every job out here.

We work on these exact homes every week:

• Asphalt shingle replacement on steep 19th-century farmhouse gables and on the low, long ranch and pole-barn roofs that surround them
• 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, narrow-eaved farmhouse attics dry and cool
• Step flashing and chimney work on the tall brick chimneys typical of Whittaker’s 1800s railroad-era houses

If your home carries the 48190 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your road. That ZIP covers only the immediate community and is largely used for P.O. boxes — properties just outside it are addressed Milan 48160, Willis 48191 or Ypsilanti 48197, and we work all of them.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Whittaker 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:

1. Inspect free, no obligation — full walk of the roof, photos of damage, written summary
2. Help you with the insurance claim — we’ll meet your adjuster on-site if needed
3. Tarp the roof same-day if there’s an active leak
4. 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.

Neighborhoods we serve in Whittaker

Whittaker has no subdivisions and no named neighborhoods — it’s a crossroads and the farm country around it. We work the whole community, with most of our recent jobs on or near:

• Talladay Road, through the center of the hamlet
• Whittaker Road, north toward Willis Road
• Judd Road
• Tuttle Hill Road, the old Monroe-to-Ypsilanti plank road route
• Hitchingham Road and the Paint Creek side of the township

We also work near landmarks like the Augusta Township Hall on Talladay Road, the Whittaker post office on Whittaker Road, the old Whittaker General Store building beside the tracks, and the Norfolk Southern crossing at the center of the community. Whittaker is served by Lincoln Consolidated Schools, which covers most of Augusta Township and is headquartered within the township; a small southwestern corner of Augusta Township falls into Milan Area Schools instead. School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base.

We also serve the adjacent communities of Willis, Milan, York Township and Ypsilanti Township — so if friends or family nearby need roof work, you can refer with confidence.
