Call (559) 295-5445

If you own a Tamko roof and you’re seeing granule loss, lifted shingles, or leaks around flashings, this page covers what actually goes wrong with Tamko products here, what repairs cost, and how our process works. Call (559) 295-5445 and a live person answers, day or night.

Key takeaways:

• We’re independent, not factory-authorized by Tamko, which means we make repair choices based on what’s right for your roof, not what a warranty brochure demands.
• Tamko shingles age differently in coastal Orange County air than inland, and we’ll show you exactly what that means for your roof.
• Every Tamko job starts with a walk-through and a written line-item price. No changes at the door.

How Tamko Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Tamko makes a solid shingle, but every product line has its own failure patterns. After years of walking Orange County roofs, here’s what we see most often with Tamko, and what we do about it when we find it.

• Heritage and Heritage Premium granule shedding. The Heritage line is the most common Tamko shingle on Orange County homes, and the most common complaint is excess granules in the gutters during the first two years. That’s usually normal manufacturing excess working its way off. But if it’s still shedding in year five or six, we look for UV degradation from the hard inland sun, especially in Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita. The fix is usually localized replacement of the worst-facing slopes, not a whole reroof.
• Elite Glass-Seal sealant delamination on south-facing slopes. Tamko’s Elite series uses a thermally activated sealant strip. On steep south slopes in Orange County, that sealant can cure brittle after a decade of heat cycling, and shingles lift in the Santa Ana winds we get every fall. We find the lifted tabs, reseal the ones that still have life, and replace the ones that don’t.
• StormFLEX nail-strip leaks at the eaves. Tamko’s StormFLEX line is marketed for impact resistance, but we see nail placement errors at the eave edge on a lot of installs, especially on older Orange County track homes from the 1990s. Rain driven under the eave finds those nail holes. We pull the first course, reset it with the proper overhang, and that usually ends the leak permanently.
• Rust-through at flashing seams on Tamko metal roofing transitions. Tamko’s metal roofing panels hold up well, but where they meet chimney or wall flashing, the transition hardware sometimes wasn’t isolated from the panel metal, and galvanic corrosion sets in within eight to ten years. We replace the transition, isolate the metals, and reseal. That repair stays done.
• Hip and ridge cap granule loss on Tamko hip roofs. The hip-and-ridge caps on Tamko roofs tend to show granule loss before the field shingles. They’re bent over the ridge line, stressed in both directions, and the sun hits them at the worst angle. We replace caps with Tamko-compatible ridge cap or a matching quality aftermarket cap, and we always check the underlying ridge vent while we’re up there.

Our Tamko Roofing Company Process

Every Tamko job we run in Orange County follows the same sequence. It’s not complicated, but the order matters.

1. 1
   You call. A live person answers, 24/7, and takes down what you’re seeing: leaks, missing shingles, granule buildup, storm damage. We schedule a walk-through at a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We walk the roof before we quote. Greg Holloway or one of our senior techs gets on the roof and looks at the actual condition. We check the slope, the flashings, the decking, the underlayment, and the Tamko shingle line you have. We don’t quote from a satellite photo.
3. 3
   You get a written price. We hand you a line-item price before we do anything else. Parts may be Tamko OEM or a quality aftermarket match, depending on what your roof needs and what makes sense for the remaining roof life. We tell you which and why, in plain language.
4. 4
   We do the work. The crew arrives in the window we gave, in uniform, background-checked. We protect your landscaping, work clean, and explain what we’re doing if you want to watch.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. Water test, wind test, visual check. If it doesn’t hold, we fix it before we come off the roof.
6. 6
   You get the paper. Written guarantee on every repair, handed to you before the crew leaves. Not mailed later. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return and correct it at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
