Roofing Contractor Chelsea, Mi

Why Chelsea homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Chelsea 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. Chelsea is about 52 miles west of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 60 minutes via I-96 West to M-14 West and I-94 West. 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 Chelsea area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Chelsea homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Chelsea’s downtown was listed as a commercial historic district in 2011, and the residential streets that ring it are just as intact — block after block of Victorian-era housing with steep cross gables, cut-away bays, wrap-around porches, decorative slate-era rooflines that were long ago converted to asphalt, and tall unlined brick chimneys. On houses like that, the shingle field usually outlives the details: valley metal, porch-roof-to-wall step flashing and chimney counterflashing are what let water in first. Move a few streets out and the housing shifts to postwar ranches, Colonial Revival and Tudor-influenced homes on curving streets under mature maples, then to newer subdivision colonials like Heritage Pointe with wide multi-plane roofs. Outside the city limits, Sylvan and Lima Township farmhouses and pole-frame outbuildings need a different approach again. Heavy shade holds moisture on north slopes here, so ventilation and clean valleys matter as much as the shingle you pick.

We work on these exact homes every week:

• Asphalt shingle replacement on steep cross-gabled Victorians near downtown as well as ranch, Colonial Revival and newer subdivision 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 unlined brick chimneys standard on Chelsea’s Victorian-era housing

If your home is in the 48118 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Chelsea 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.
