This page is written for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who have a Tamko roof and want a repair crew that actually knows the product, not a contractor who treats every shingle the same. We’re an independent Tamko service provider, which means we’re not tied to factory pricing or factory installers. We’re tied to getting your roof fixed the right way, on the schedule we give you, at the price we put in writing before any work starts.

How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Tamko makes a solid shingle, and here in Broward County we see a handful of predictable failure patterns. These aren’t manufacturing defects, usually. They’re what happens when a Florida roof takes ten months of UV, salt air, and hard afternoon rain every year. Here’s what we find most often on Tamko roofs in Fort Lauderdale.

• Heritage line granule loss in high-sun exposures. On Fort Lauderdale homes with south-facing slopes, Tamko Heritage shingles can shed granules faster than the rest of the roof. The symptom is a bare, glossy patch you can see from the ground and sand-like grit at the downspout. We scrub the area clean, verify the mat underneath hasn’t oxidized, then hand-seal replacement Heritage shingles in the matching color. If the granule loss covers more than a third of the slope, we’ll tell you honestly that chasing patches is throwing money away.
• Valley wear on Lamarite and Heritage strips. Valleys channel more water than any other part of a Fort Lauderdale roof, and on Tamko installations the valley shingles often wear through before the field shingles. We cut the old valley back, inspect the underlayment beneath it, and re-weave the valley with new shingles over fresh ice-and-water shield. This is a repair you don’t want us to shortcut on, because a valley failure sends water into the decking, not the gutter.
• Nail-pop punctures on the Classic and Elite lines. Tamko’s fiberglass-based shingles are stiff, and in the heat-and-swell cycle of our summers, backing nails can back out and push up through the shingle above. You’ll never see the hole from the ground, but it’s a slow leak that darkens decking over months. We lift the affected shingle, reset the nail, seal the puncture, and re-press the shingle with new adhesive.
• Storm-torn ridge caps on Tamko Heritage and Heritage Premium. Ridge cap shingles take wind from both sides, and on older Tamko roofs in Fort Lauderdale we see caps that have torn clean at the nail line. The ridge still looks fine from the ground, but there’s a gap at the crown. We replace the full ridge run with new Tamko cap shingles and a proper sealant line, not a dab of repair mastic over the torn area.
• Failed vent boots and pipe collars on every Tamko line. This one is more about the flashing than the shingles, but on Tamko roofs we’re usually called after water has been following a cracked vent boot for a season or two. The boot splits at the base, water trickles onto the underlayment, and by the time the homeowner sees a ceiling stain, the decking is already wet. We pull the old boot, inspect the opening, install a new lead or synthetic collar, and re-flash it tight. It’s a two-hour repair most of the time.

Our Tamko Roof Repair Process

Here’s how a Tamko repair works with us, from your first call to the day we hand you the paperwork.

1. 1
   Call and tell us what you’re seeing. You’ll get a live person on the phone. We’ll ask for your address, how long the problem’s been going on, and whether you have the shingle color on record. If you don’t know the line or color, don’t worry. That’s why we walk the roof.
2. 2
   Greg or a senior tech inspects the roof. We don’t send a salesperson with a drone and a script. We send a roofer who’s been on Fort Lauderdale roofs for years, and that often means Greg Holloway himself. He’ll identify the exact Tamko line, check for hidden water damage, and photograph everything.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work starts. That number covers the repair, the materials, the cleanup, and the paper guarantee. We don’t discover a surprise and knock on your door mid-job.
4. 4
   We make the repair with matched materials. On Tamko jobs we try to match the original line and color from a local supplier. If the line’s discontinued, we’ll talk to you about the closest factory-approved alternative before we put anything on your roof. Where it matters, we use OEM Tamko parts. Where an aftermarket flashing does the job better for less, we’ll tell you and show you the difference.
5. 5
   We test the repair and walk you through it. For leak repairs, that means a controlled water test on the repaired area. We’ll also take photos so you can see what we did without getting on a ladder.
6. 6
   You get the guarantee in writing before we leave. Under our 365-Day Done Right Promise, if the repair fails within a year, we return and redo it at no charge. That’s not a verbal promise. That’s a written guarantee handed over on the day of the job.

What Tamko Roof Repair Costs in Fort Lauderdale

You should know the numbers before you call. Prices below are what we typically quote on Tamko repairs across Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, and Victoria Park.

• Small shingle patch or single shingle replacement: $320 to $520
• Vent boot or pipe collar replacement: $280 to $420
• Flashing repair (chimney, wall, or step flashing): $420 to $740
• Valley re-weave or repair: $540 to $890
• Flat roof patch on a Tamko-modified bitumen or cap sheet section: $480 to $820

What moves the price is the amount of decking that needs replacement, the roof’s pitch, and whether we’re matching a discontinued color. Steep roofs and second-story work cost more because of the safety equipment and the slower pace required to do it right. The number we give you is the number you pay, no change orders and no surprises at the door. Call (754) 732-9325 for a free estimate on your Tamko repair.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale for Tamko Work

We’re a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, and our Fort Lauderdale location lives by the same rules as every Kingswell shop: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Greg Holloway runs the crew here, and he walks the roof himself rather than sending a junior estimator.

Because we also service GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed roofs, we’re not tied to one manufacturer’s product line. That matters when a Tamko color is discontinued. That manufacturer-agnostic view also means we’re honest with you when a repair no longer makes financial sense and a re-roof would cost you less per year over the next decade. We tell you the truth either way. And we put at least half of it in writing.
