How IKO Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

IKO shingles carry a solid reputation, but twenty-plus years of South Florida roof tear-offs have taught us exactly where they weaken first. Here are the failure modes we see most often on IKO roofs in Fort Lauderdale:

• IKO Cambridge granule loss within the first 10 years. The Cambridge line is IKO’s most popular architectural shingle, and on Fort Lauderdale roofs it tends to shed granules faster than some premium competitors due to the combination of intense UV exposure and daily thermal cycling. Once the granules go, the asphalt beneath oxidizes and the shingle loses its weatherproofing. Our fix: we inspect granule loss across multiple slopes, map the worst zones, and when replacement is warranted, we usually step homeowners up to a heavier-rated architectural shingle with better granule adhesion for our climate. Sometimes that means staying within IKO’s lineup; sometimes it means showing you what GAF or Owens Corning offers at the same or better price point.
• IKO Dynasty sealant strip failures after wind events. Dynasty is IKO’s larger-format architectural shingle with a wider nailing zone, but we’ve torn off Dynasty roofs in Broward where the factory-applied sealant strips had started to let go along the rake edges after a few hurricane seasons. The tabs lift, wind catches them, and you lose shingles in bands. Our fix: we don’t just replace the missing tabs. We check the nailing pattern on the remaining field – Fort Lauderdale code requires six nails per shingle in high-wind zones – and when we replace an IKO roof, every shingle gets the full high-wind nailing schedule, regardless of what the original installer did.
• IKO Marathon edge curling on low-slope sections. Marathon is IKO’s three-tab shingle, and on Fort Lauderdale homes with low-slope or partially shaded roof planes, those tabs absorb moisture and curl at the corners like an old book. Curled tabs catch wind and create water entry points. Our fix: when we see Marathon curling, we check the attic ventilation first, because trapped heat and moisture accelerate the curl. On a replacement, we’ll often convert the low-slope sections to a peel-and-stick underlayment with a modified bitumen or standing seam detail instead of shingles, because three-tab simply doesn’t belong on a 2:12 pitch in this humidity.
• IKO Nordic algae streaking and granule etching. Nordic is IKO’s performance architectural line, often sold with an algae-resistant granule blend. The reality on Fort Lauderdale roofs: our humidity and tree canopy coverage feed algae growth even on algae-resistant shingles, and over time the streaking etched into the granules can become permanent staining. Our fix: full replacement removes the staining problem entirely, and we spec a heavier algae-resistant architectural shingle with copper-infused granules, whether from IKO or another manufacturer, and pair it with ridge venting that keeps the roof deck dryer.
• IKO flashing failures at Fort Lauderdale’s chimney and wall intersections, not shingle failures. Here’s the detail most homeowners never suspect: on many IKO roof replacements around the Las Olas corridor, the shingles themselves have years of life left, but the step flashing installed at the time of the original build was never replaced when the first re-roof went on. Fort Lauderdale’s salt air eats galvanized flashing at the fasteners, and once the flashing goes, water travels behind the shingles and into the deck. Our fix: every IKO replacement we do includes all-new flashing – step, counter, chimney, and wall – and we document every flashing installation with a photo before it’s covered, so you have proof the detail that fails most often was done correctly.

Our IKO Roof Replacement Process

Here’s what an IKO roof replacement with Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale actually looks like, from your first call to the final walk-through:

1. 1
   The on-site inspection. We walk every slope, pull the report, and check three things on an IKO roof: shingle condition, deck integrity, and attic ventilation. If you have a specific concern – a leak, a lifted section, missing granules in the gutters – we start there.
2. 2
   The written scope. Before any work starts, you get a written line-item estimate. It includes the shingle model we’re recommending (with IKO, GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed all on the table), the underlayment, the decking replacement allowance, and the flashing scope. The number on that sheet is the number on the final invoice.
3. 3
   Materials staged and decking inspected. On tear-off day, the old shingles come off and the deck check happens. If we find rotted or delaminated wood – common in Fort Lauderdale where decking was nailed with ungalvanized fasteners decades ago – we replace it in writing at a per-sheet price you already approved.
4. 4
   Installation to IKO specs plus our own. We install to the manufacturer’s published nailing and exposure requirements, plus Fort Lauderdale’s high-wind code provisions. Every flashing detail is custom-cut on site, never re-used from the old roof.
5. 5
   The documentation pass. Before the final ridge cap goes on, we photograph the underlayment, the flashing, and the nail pattern, so you see what’s under the shingles. You’ll get before, during, and after photos texted to you.
6. 6
   The cleanup and guarantee. We magnet-sweep the property for nails and debris, walk the roof with you, and hand you the written guarantee – 365 days on every repair, in writing, included with every job. If something fails within that year, we come back at no charge.
