Why Farmington homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Farmington 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. Farmington is about 13 miles northwest of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 22 minutes via Grand River Avenue. We’re one of the closest established roofing companies you can call when something happens to your roof tonight.

To be clear about which city we mean: Farmington is the compact 2.66-square-mile city with the historic downtown on Grand River Avenue, not the much larger Farmington Hills that surrounds it on nearly every side. We roof both, but the houses are different, and this page is about the older city. 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 Farmington area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Farmington homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Most Farmington homes were built between the 1920s and the 1960s, on top of a 19th-century core that the National Register listed as the Farmington Historic District in 1976. In and around that district you’ll find Victorian and early-1900s frame houses with steep pitches, cut-up rooflines, dormers and porch roofs that tie into main slopes at awkward angles. Away from Grand River the city fills in with bungalows, colonials and ranches on small, close-set lots. Two things follow from that mix: valleys and dormer intersections do most of the leaking here, and there is rarely room to stage a dumpster far from the house — so we plan the drop and the cleanup before the first shingle comes off.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep Victorian gables, dormered story-and-a-half bungalows and low-slope postwar ranches
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 attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall original brick chimneys common on pre-war Farmington houses

If your home is in the 48335 or 48336 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Farmington 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.
