Why Willis homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Willis 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. Willis is about 38 miles southwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 45 minutes via the Southfield Freeway (M-39) south, I-94 west and Rawsonville Road 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 Willis area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Willis homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Willis is an unincorporated community in the northeast corner of Augusta Township, and unlike most rural crossroads it actually has a village core. It was built in a hurry starting in 1880, when the railroad ran its line past Howell’s general store instead of going through Eaton Mills or Paint Creek — a depot and three boarding houses went up at Willis and Meridian, and the businesses followed. That boom left a tight cluster of two-story frame houses on small platted lots along Willis Road between Bunton Road and Potterville Drive: simple gable and gable-with-ell roofs, wide front-porch roofs at a much shallower pitch than the main house, and the awkward low-slope tie-ins where those porches meet the wall. Those transitions are where these houses leak. Beyond the core, the land opens up into acreage parcels — 1970s through 1990s ranches, bi-levels and split-levels with attached garages, and almost always a pole barn or shop building out back that needs shingles or steel at the same time.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on railroad-era gabled village houses with low-pitch porch roofs, and on the ranch and split-level roofs and pole barns out on the acreage
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 village attics and 1970s ranch attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the brick chimneys of the 1880s–1910s village houses and the block chimneys on later ranch builds

If your home carries the 48191 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your road. That ZIP covers most of the eastern half of Augusta Township and a small piece of London Township in Monroe County to the south.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Willis 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.

Neighborhoods we serve in Willis

Willis is a small unincorporated community, so people here go by road names rather than subdivision names. We work the whole community, with most of our recent jobs on or near:

The Willis Road village core, between Bunton Road and Potterville Drive
Bunton Road, including the Bunton Road and Judd Road farms
Meridian Road, at the old depot and boarding-house corner
Rawsonville Road, on the eastern edge of the township near the old Eaton Mills site
The Lincoln Consolidated Schools campus area on Willis Road

We also work near landmarks like the Willis post office on Bunton Road, the former Howell’s general store on Willis Road — the oldest building in the village, now Bonehead’s Restaurant — the Lincoln Consolidated Schools campus on Willis Road, and the Norfolk Southern line that runs diagonally through the community where Willis Station once stood. Willis is served by Lincoln Consolidated Schools, whose district office and school buildings sit right here on Willis Road. School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base.

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