Why Harper Woods homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Harper Woods 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. Harper Woods is about 16 miles east of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 25 minutes via the Davison Freeway and I-94, or straight across on 8 Mile Road. We’re one of the closest 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 Harper Woods area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Harper Woods homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Harper Woods is a genuinely postwar city. It incorporated in 1951 out of what was left of Gratiot Township, and nearly all of its 2.6 square miles filled in during the 1950s and 1960s, with I-94 approved through the east side in 1955 and Eastland Center opening in 1957. That gives you block after block of brick ranches, story-and-a-half capes and small colonials on narrow lots, most of them on their third or fourth roof by now. The pattern we see over and over here: shallow ranch pitches that hold water and ice at the eaves, original attic ventilation that was never sized for modern insulation levels, and decking that has quietly gone soft under two or three layers of old shingles. We check for that before we quote, not after we tear off.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on 1950s–60s ranch, cape and small-colonial rooflines
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, under-vented postwar attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the short brick chimneys standard on mid-century Harper Woods houses

If your home is in the 48225 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Harper Woods 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.
