Why Rochester homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Rochester 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. Rochester is about 30 miles north of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 45 minutes via the Lodge Freeway (M-10) to I-696 east, I-75 north and Rochester Road (M-150). 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 Rochester area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Rochester homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Rochester was the first European settlement in Oakland County, founded on the Clinton River in 1818, and the city proper is compact — a few square miles wrapped around a genuinely old downtown. That means the housing near Main Street is some of the oldest in the county: gable-front and cross-gable vernacular houses, Queen Anne Victorians with turrets and dormers, foursquares and 1920s Craftsman bungalows, all with steep, multi-plane rooflines and tall masonry chimneys that need real step flashing rather than caulk. Push out from the core and you hit postwar ranches and 1960s colonials on larger lots, plus newer infill and condo roofs. Paint Creek runs right through town, and the ravine terrain plus a heavy old-growth canopy means shaded north slopes stay damp, valleys fill with leaf litter every fall, and moss shows up on roofs that would stay clean two miles away.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on steep Victorian and Craftsman rooflines as well as long postwar ranch and colonial 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, retrofitted attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the tall masonry chimneys common on Rochester’s 19th-century and 1920s-era homes

If your home is in the 48306 or 48307 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Rochester 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.
