Why Clarkston homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Clarkston 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. Clarkston is about 30 miles north-northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 50 minutes via M-10 north to Telegraph Road and Dixie Highway, or up I-75 to the M-15 and Sashabaw Road exits. 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 Clarkston area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Clarkston homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Worth being precise here: the City of the Village of Clarkston is a genuinely tiny municipality — about 0.44 square miles, the smallest city by land area in Michigan — sitting entirely inside Independence Township. Almost everyone with a Clarkston mailing address actually lives in the surrounding township, and we roof both. In the village core, the Clarkston Village Historic District holds over 100 historic structures along Main Street, Washington, Holcomb and Church, in styles that are all roof: Queen Anne turrets and gable stacks, Greek and Gothic Revival, Second Empire mansards, Stick Style bracketwork and Colonial Revival. Nelson Clark’s 1839 house still stands on North Main. Those roofs are steep, cut up, and unforgiving of bad flashing. Outside the village, I-75 arrived in 1962 and farms became subdivisions — Deer Lake, Walters Lake, Whipple Lake and Van Norman shorelines with converted cottages and walkout builds below the Pine Knob hill. The terrain is genuinely hilly for southeast Michigan, and the wooded lots mean valleys load with leaves and north slopes stay damp.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep historic-district gables and mansards, wooded-lot walkout colonials, and converted lakefront cottages
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, tightly framed village attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall original brick chimneys typical of Clarkston’s 19th-century village houses

If your home is in the 48346 or 48348 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Clarkston 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.
