Why Ann Arbor homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Ann Arbor 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. Ann Arbor is about 35 miles west of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 45 minutes via I-96 West to M-14. 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 Ann Arbor area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Ann Arbor homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

The median Ann Arbor home was built around 1971, but that number hides how split the city really is. On one side you have a large pre-1940 core — the front-gable, hip-roof cube and cross-gable vernacular houses of the Old West Side, the Queen Annes and Tudor Revivals with their steep, multi-plane rooflines, turrets, dormers and oversized brick chimneys. On the other side you have decades of postwar subdivision growth: low-slope Craftsman-influenced bungalows with deep overhangs, and mid-century ranches and modern homes with shallow or nearly flat roofs. Those two housing types fail in completely different ways, and they need different crews’ worth of experience. Add Ann Arbor’s mature tree canopy, which drops debris into valleys and keeps north-facing slopes damp, and you get a city where flashing detail and ventilation matter more than shingle brand.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep cross-gabled Victorian and Tudor rooflines as well as long, simple ranch and Colonial Revival 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, retrofitted attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall masonry chimneys common on Ann Arbor’s pre-war and 1920s-era homes

If your home is in the 48103, 48104, 48105 or 48108 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor

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

Old West Side
Burns Park
Water Hill
Kerrytown

We also work near landmarks like Michigan Stadium, Nichols Arboretum, Burton Memorial Tower and the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. Ann Arbor Public Schools serves the city and portions of the surrounding townships. School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base. One note for older homes: several Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor Township, Pittsfield Township and Scio Township — so if friends or family nearby need roof work, you can refer with confidence.
