Roofing Contractor Ypsilanti, Mi

Why Ypsilanti homeowners choose T&M Roofing

When your roof in Ypsilanti 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. Ypsilanti is about 32 miles west of our shop at 14564 Schaefer Hwy in Detroit — roughly 40 minutes via I-96 West to I-275 South to I-94 West. 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 Ypsilanti area, we’ll beat it — guaranteed.

Ypsilanti homes are exactly the houses we know how to roof

Ypsilanti is one of the oldest housing stocks in Washtenaw County, and it comes in three distinct layers. The Ypsilanti Historic District and the streets around Depot Town hold 19th-century Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne houses — steep multi-plane gables, dormers, bay-window roofs, decorative brackets and tall unlined brick chimneys that were never built for modern step flashing. Normal Park, just west of Main and south of the Eastern Michigan campus, is dominated by 1910s–1930s Craftsman bungalows and Tudor and Colonial Revivals with deep overhangs and cut-up valleys. Then Prospect Park, Sugarbrook and the postwar east side add Cape Cods, cottages and small ranches, most under 1,500 square feet, with simple gable roofs and shallow attics. Add the Huron River corridor and Ypsilanti’s heavy street canopy, and valleys stay wet, north slopes hold moss, and flashing detail matters far more than shingle brand.

We work on these exact homes every week:

• Asphalt shingle replacement on steep Victorian and Queen Anne rooflines, 1920s bungalow gables with dormers, and simple postwar Cape Cod and ranch 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 attics dry and cool
• Step flashing and chimney work on the tall 19th-century and 1920s unlined masonry chimneys that are standard on Ypsilanti’s older streets

If your home is in the 48197 or 48198 ZIP codes, there’s a good chance we’ve already done a roof on your block.

Storm damage is the #1 reason Ypsilanti 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:

1. Inspect free, no obligation — full walk of the roof, photos of damage, written summary
2. Help you with the insurance claim — we’ll meet your adjuster on-site if needed
3. Tarp the roof same-day if there’s an active leak
4. 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.

Neighborhoods we serve in Ypsilanti

We work across all of Ypsilanti, with most of our recent jobs concentrated in or around:

• Normal Park
• College Heights
• Depot Town
• Prospect Park
• Midtown

We also work near landmarks like the Ypsilanti Water Tower, Eastern Michigan University, Riverside Park and the Michigan Firehouse Museum. Ypsilanti Community Schools is the public district serving the city and neighboring Ypsilanti Township. School families across the district make up a big share of our local customer base. One note for older homes: parts of Ypsilanti sit inside the designated Ypsilanti Historic District, so exterior work there can require Historic District Commission review — we’ll flag that before you sign anything.

We also serve the adjacent communities of Ypsilanti Township, Superior Township, Pittsfield Township and Ann Arbor — so if friends or family nearby need roof work, you can refer with confidence.
