Why Pontiac homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Pontiac 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. Pontiac is about 24 miles northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 35 minutes via the Lodge Freeway (M-10) and Telegraph Road (US-24). 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 Pontiac area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Pontiac homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Pontiac’s housing stock skews older than almost anything else in Oakland County, and that shapes every roof we touch here. The city built out from the early 1900s through the auto-plant boom years, so the historic blocks are full of brick Tudors, foursquares, Craftsman bungalows and big-porch Colonials with steep, multi-plane rooflines, dormers and tall masonry chimneys — the kind of geometry where valleys and step flashing fail long before the field shingles do. Fill-in neighborhoods from the 1950s and 1960s add low-slope ranches with shallow pitches and shorter eaves that ice-dam badly in February. Lots here are generous by Metro Detroit standards, with mature trees that drop debris into valleys and hold moisture on north-facing slopes. Condition varies block to block in Pontiac more than in any neighboring city, so we quote what your roof actually needs — sometimes a targeted repair, sometimes a full tear-off.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep cross-gabled Tudors and bungalows as well as long, simple 1950s 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 attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall brick chimneys standard on Pontiac’s pre-war and 1920s-era homes

If your home is in the 48340, 48341 or 48342 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Pontiac 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 Pontiac

We work across all of Pontiac, with most of our recent jobs concentrated in or around:

Seminole Hills
Franklin Boulevard Historic District
Fairgrove
Downtown Pontiac
The Modern Housing Corporation Addition

We also work near landmarks like M1 Concourse on Woodward, The Crofoot, the Oakland County government campus and the United Wholesale Mortgage headquarters on South Boulevard. Most of Pontiac is served by the School District of the City of Pontiac, though a handful of addresses on the city’s edges fall into neighboring Oakland County districts, so it’s worth confirming by address. School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base. One note for older homes: several Pontiac neighborhoods sit inside designated historic districts, so exterior work there can require Historic District Commission review — we’ll flag that before you sign anything.

We also serve the adjacent communities of Auburn Hills, Waterford Township, Bloomfield Township and Sylvan Lake — so if friends or family nearby need roof work, you can refer with confidence.
