Why Riverview homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Riverview 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. Riverview is about 22 miles south of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 30 minutes via the Southfield Freeway (M-39) to I-75 south and the Sibley Road exit. 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 Riverview area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Riverview homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Riverview is a compact Downriver city of roughly 12,000 people sitting right on the Detroit River, and its housing tells you exactly when it grew: the great majority of the stock went up between the early 1950s and the 1970s. That means block after block of single-story brick ranches, a scattering of Cape Cods and split-levels, and later Colonials — mostly simple gable and hip roofs on quarter-acre lots, with wide streets and generous side yards that make staging and dumpster placement easy. What we see failing is consistent with that era: original roof decking now on its third layer, rusted galvanized valley and step flashing, undersized attic intake venting on the low-slung ranches, and gutter and fascia rot on shallow overhangs. Riverview’s real local variable is exposure — the city fronts the Detroit River on the east and open land at the Riverview Land Preserve on the west, so there is very little windbreak. Wind uplift at ridges, rakes and gable ends is a bigger factor here than it is a few miles inland, and starter-strip and ridge-cap fastening matter more than most homeowners realize.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on 1950s–1970s brick ranch, Cape Cod, split-level and Colonial roofs with straightforward gable and hip slopes
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, low-clearance ranch attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the exterior brick fireplace chimneys and slim furnace stacks standard on Riverview’s mid-century ranches

If your home is in the 48193 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Riverview 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.
