Why Trenton homeowners choose T&M Roofing

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

Trenton homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Trenton is a Downriver river town, and the Detroit River shapes what happens to its roofs. Most of the city’s housing went up between the 1940s and the 1970s as the Chrysler and McLouth plants drew workers in: brick ranches, story-and-a-half bungalows and traditional two-story colonials on moderate lots with mature trees, plus older frame houses near the downtown village blocks along West Jefferson. The roof geometry is generally straightforward — but the exposure is not. Homes on and near West Jefferson, Elizabeth Park and the Slocum’s Island channel catch open wind straight off the river with nothing to break it, so ridge caps and eave courses go first, and wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways under shingle tabs and behind siding-to-roof transitions. Add the humidity of a riverfront location and the moss and algae streaking on north slopes, and Trenton roofs need tight starter courses, sealed rakes and honest flashing far more than they need a premium shingle line.

We work on these exact homes every week:

Asphalt shingle replacement on 1940s–1970s brick ranches, bungalows and two-story colonials, including riverfront homes with high wind exposure
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 mid-century attics dry and cool
Step flashing and chimney work on the mid-century brick chimneys standard on Trenton’s postwar ranches and colonials

If your home is in the 48183 ZIP code, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Trenton 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.
