Tamko Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

A full Tamko roof replacement typically takes two to four days on most single-family homes, depending on decking condition and the product line you choose. Most Tamko full replacements in this area run between $9,800 and $18,500, and we’ll give you the exact number before we pull the first shingle.

Call (754) 732-9325

This page is for homeowners who own a Tamko roof that has reached the end of its service life, or who have a Tamko roof failing earlier than it should. If you’re seeing granule loss in your gutters, curling shingles, or a leak that keeps coming back, call us at (754) 732-9325 and we’ll walk the roof ourselves with you.

Key takeaways:

• We are an independent Tamko service provider, not a Tamko-authorized installer, which means we call problems as we see them and never protect a manufacturer’s reputation over your roof.
• Every Tamko replacement starts with a written price, not an estimate that floats after you sign.
• The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to the labor side of your Tamko replacement, in writing, for a full year.

How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Tamko builds a decent shingle, and in the right conditions they hold up. Fort Lauderdale is not the right conditions for every line. We see specific failure patterns on Tamko roofs here, and knowing them changes how we quote and how we replace. Here is what happens on real roofs in this city.

• Heritage series granule shedding. The Tamko Heritage line, especially the original Heritage 30, has a well-known tendency to shed granules faster than competing architectural shingles in high-UV, high-heat climates. Here in Fort Lauderdale, we see gutters filling with granules on Heritage roofs at year twelve or thirteen, long before the stated warranty. The roof isn’t just ugly, it is losing its fire rating as the granules thin. We replace these with a heavier architectural line and inspect the underlayment closely, because the paper under a shedding roof has usually cooked too.
• Heritage Premium curl at the eaves. On homes along the Intracoastal, where salt air and morning humidity sit on the roof edge, Tamko Heritage Premium shingles curl at the drip line. The adhesive strip fails first at the eaves because that’s the first part of the roof to heat up and the last to dry. We add extra fasteners at the eaves on every Tamko replacement, which is a code-minimum upgrade that costs pennies per shingle and stops callbacks.
• Elite Glass-Seal sealant strip failure after wind events. Tamko’s Elite Glass-Seal series uses a single sealant strip, where some competitors use two. After a hurricane or a strong summer squall, we find shingles that were never mechanically damaged but simply released from the strip. The tab lifts, wind gets under it, and the shingle tears at the nail line. We always comment on sealant condition during an inspection, and when we replace an Elite roof, we hand-seal the rake edges and ridge per manufacturer specification.
• Underlayment breakdown on low-slope sections. Fort Lauderdale homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have a low-slope section over a carport or addition that was roofed with Tamko shingles when it never should have been. Shingles on a slope below 2:12 leak by design. We identify these sections during our inspection and convert them to a proper modified-bitumen or membrane system during the replacement, rather than putting new shingles on the same bad geometry.
• Ridge cap delamination on older Tamko roofs. Tamko ridge caps from the late 2000s delaminate more often than the field shingles because factory-made caps are folded and sealed differently than field-cut caps. When caps delaminate, the ridge becomes the first leak point. On our Tamko replacements, we replace ridge caps with fresh material and confirm the venting is balanced before we button up the ridge.

Our Tamko Roof Replacement Process

Here is how a Tamko replacement works with our crew, from your first call to the final walkthrough. No mystery, no surprises.

1. 1
   Call and schedule the inspection. You call (754) 732-9325, a live person answers, and we agree on a time window. Greg Holloway walks the roof himself, stepping every section, and documents what he finds with photos you keep.
2. 2
   Written assessment of the existing Tamko roof. We note the exact Tamko product line installed, its age, underlying decking condition, and any areas where the manufacturer’s installation or the climate has shortened the roof’s life. You get that assessment in writing.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM versus quality aftermarket. Tamko sells their own accessory components, including ridge caps, starter shingles, and ventilation products. We use OEM accessories where the system warrants it, and we are frank about when an aftermarket underlayment or flashing detail is actually better for a Florida roof than the Tamko-specified part. You approve every line item before we order anything.
4. 4
   Tear-off and decking inspection. The crew tears the old roof and Greg inspects the decking personally. Any rotted sheathing gets replaced and priced per sheet at the number we gave you before the job started, not a surprise change order.
5. 5
   Installation with documented steps. Underlayment goes down, then starter shingles, then the field, then ridge caps. We take photos at each layer so you can see what is under your roof, not just what is on top of it.
6. 6
   Final inspection and the written guarantee. Greg walks the finished roof with you if you want to climb up, or from the ground with the photo set, and hands you the written guarantee before the crew leaves the driveway. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in that paperwork, plain English, no fine-print escape hatch.

What Tamko Roof Replacement Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Here are the real numbers we quote in Fort Lauderdale, based on the jobs we see on the ground. These ranges assume a single-family home with accessible roof and no major structural surprises.

• Full Tamko roof replacement, Heritage architectural shingles: $9,800 to $14,500 for a typical 1,800 to 2,600 square foot home, including tear-off, underlayment, starter, ridge caps, and all flashing at penetrations.
• Full replacement with Tamko Titan XT or higher-grade architectural line: $12,500 to $18,500 depending on roof complexity, story height, and the number of valleys and penetrations.
• Decking replacement per sheet: $75 to $110 per 4×8 sheet, added only for sheets that actually need it, confirmed with photos before we nail anything down.
• Low-slope section conversion to membrane: Adds $3,500 to $7,000 depending on square footage and the membrane system chosen.

What moves the price is real: decking rot, the number of pipe boots and vents, story height, and whether the roof is walkable or needs full staging. We give you the number before we touch the roof. Call (754) 732-9325 for an exact quote. The estimate is free, and you keep the written number whether you hire us or not.

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

We are a local member of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and we built this practice for homeowners who have already been disappointed once. You will not get a no-show, a price that changes at the door, or a repair that fails in a month. You get a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee before the crew leaves, and a company that answers the phone when you call.

Our techs know Tamko’s product lines because we have torn off enough of them to know how they fail in this climate. We also install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, so if a Tamko line is not the right product for your roof’s geometry or your home’s exposure, we will tell you that and show you the alternatives. We do not push one manufacturer because that is what happens to be in the truck.

And if something is not right, we come back. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means that for a full year after the job, if it is not done right, we make it right. That promise is in writing, same as the price.
