Why Hamtramck homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Hamtramck 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. Hamtramck is about 9 miles east of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 15 minutes straight across on the Davison Freeway (M-8). There is no closer established roofing company you can call when something happens to your roof tonight, and on an active leak that 15 minutes is the whole difference.

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 Hamtramck area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Hamtramck homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Hamtramck’s housing is unusually uniform in age. The majority of it went up between about 1910 and 1920, when the Dodge Brothers plant pulled tens of thousands of workers into what had been a small farming village and the population jumped from a few thousand to nearly fifty thousand in a decade. What got built was worker housing: two-family flats, up-down duplexes and narrow single-family houses on 30-foot lots, packed tight with alleys behind them. Roofing here is a different job than roofing in a 1960s subdivision. Houses sit two to eight feet apart, so there is no room to drop debris off the side; the roofs are small and steep with front-facing gables and porch roofs that tie into the main slope; and after a century, the original single-wythe brick chimneys and the flashing around them are usually where the water is actually getting in. On a lot of these blocks the only realistic staging is the alley — we plan that before we quote.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep 1910s–20s worker-house and two-family flat rooflines, including porch roofs and rear additions
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 century-old attics and flat-top additions dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall original brick chimneys that nearly every pre-war Hamtramck house still carries

If your home is in the 48212 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Hamtramck 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 — and on tightly spaced houses, water that gets past the eave has nowhere to go but into the wall.

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.

The St. Florian Historic District around Poland Street

The blocks around Veterans Memorial Park on the south side

We also work near landmarks like St. Florian Church, the tallest building in the city and the silhouette in Hamtramck’s logo; Historic Hamtramck Stadium in Veterans Memorial Park, one of only a handful of surviving Negro League ballparks; Keyworth Stadium, opened in 1936 by Franklin D.

School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base.
