Why Garden City homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Garden City 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. T&M Roofing is about 15 miles west of our shop — roughly 25 minutes via Ford Rd or I-96. We’re one of the closest 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 Garden City area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Garden City homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Garden City’s housing stock skews toward homes built around 1940s through 1960s. Garden City was laid out on the original “Garden City Plan” with larger lots so every home could have a garden. The result: stable middle-class brick ranches and Cape Cods on bigger lots than typical Downriver — more roofing material per home but easier crew access.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on classic ranch, bungalow, and colonial rooflines
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 original brick chimneys typical of post-war Metro Detroit homes

If your home is in the 48135 and 48136 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Garden City homeowners call us

Southeast Michigan storm seasons are getting more aggressive. A single May 2026 thunderstorm watch warned of 70 mph wind gusts and 1-inch hail across the area — and that was just one event. 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.
