Why Highland Park homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Highland Park 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. Highland Park is about 6 miles east of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 15 minutes via the Davison Freeway (M-8). It is one of the closest communities we serve, and 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 Highland Park area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Highland Park homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Highland Park’s housing stock is among the oldest in the country — roughly 42% of its homes were built before 1939, and the city’s population exploded between 1910 and 1924 as the Ford and Chrysler plants opened here. What that left behind is block after block of Craftsman bungalows, four-squares and two-family flats built on narrow city lots, close together, with steep gable roofs, front porch roofs, dormers and original wood decking underneath. On houses this age, the roof is rarely the only problem — rotted decking, failed valley metal, undersized flashing at the porch-to-wall junction and buried, blocked soffits are all standard finds. We plan for that before we quote.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep-pitch bungalow, four-square and two-family flat rooflines, including porch and dormer roofs
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 dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall, unlined brick chimneys typical of 1910s and 1920s Highland Park houses

If your home is in the 48203 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Highland Park 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.
